Charles Grey was the best Blofeld in "Diamonds are Forever". There is a legend that Charles Grey, as a young actor, met Aleister Crowley on a train, and modelled much of his subsequent "act" on him. I don't think the "badness" of the Roger Moore Bonds was really Roger Moore's fault so much as the new script writers who took over just in time for Sean Connery's last Bond... "Diamonds are Forever" , which is where the "over-jokey" rot set in. DAF is effectively a "Roger Moore Bond" that still has Sean Connery in it!
