'The Spy Who Loved Me'.  Did you know that Roger Moore was Eon's first choice for Bond back before 'Dr. No'?  But he was unavailable until 'Live and Let Die'.

That sounds vaguely familiar.  I also recall hearing Ian Fleming wanted Christopher Lee (who Fleming is related to) to play Bond but the studio went with Connery instead or maybe it was Moore instead.

In just a few more months I *should* be into my Bond rewatch.  :-)

 Several years ago I bought everything from Dr. No through The Spy Who Loved Me on sale at Big Lots for $3 each. I also own the first two Craig Bonds.
 Too bad about Big Lots folding up the tent, BTW. Another casualty of online commerce I guess.
 

This YouTube channel does short videos on the rise and fall of different companies.  They just did one on the fall of Big Lots.
