Documentary/pictography of the life of the enigma that is George Lazenby. The only 'actor' or should that be model to play the role of James Bond once. Are all the stories narrated by George Lazenby's of his life true? I beg to differ with some of them. It is a fascinating story if true. However they are shown excellently and quite comically in some scenes so well done there. The actors do a good job in bringing Lazenby's narration to the screen. The archive footage of publicity around his only Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service is obviously real and fascinating. I find that Bond film fascinating to be honest. Why didn't he just sign the god damn contract (for six more Bond films)?

This is not a movie about James Bond, it is about George Lazenby. Bond isn't even brought up until 2/3 through the movie (not counting the intro). With that aside, this is a pretty good movie. George Lazenby is very amusing, and most people will at least get a few laughs out of this. Most of the movie follows his love life and if you are looking for a movie about his love life then you're in luck, but if you're looking for a bond movie then look somewhere else.

On this particular night, I needed some captivating yet uncomplicated entertainment when I chose to give this a try, and this film did not disappoint; however, it didn't really exceed my expectations either. Lazenby comes off as a charming and humorous storyteller, and we are drawn to his narrative. The decision was made to use reenactments to accompany his stories, which made sense for a film; and then the second half of the film also adds film footage from his career on TV and movies. My complaint ultimately comes down to the quality of the reenactments. Already, it's difficult for me to pair today's Lazenby (narrator) with the 1960s TV/movie start Lazenby, but add to that the interpretation of Lazenby by an actor who neither resembles him physically or behaviorally, and I came away feeling like I really still don't know the man that well. The creative decisions behind the reenactments, the way they were casted and filmed, what the directors chose to highlight, left me with a superficial impression of the man, and a satirical idea of the making of the Bond film. Ultimately, it works more as light silly entertainment than a documentary.

Liked the movie well played except I would have thought George would have included why he left Queanbeyan Australia in such a hurry?? The police record is there he was dealing in stolen cars/parts & the cops were on to it. Prove me wrong! I don't think so. The garage he worked at had a secret room at the back full of stolen car parts. When the cops came around they measured the outside of the garage & then the inside & they didn't add up that is how they found the stolen car parts. Good bit of factual trivia!! I am looking forward to see if this is published!!!
