When you consider what they had to say about Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", it's a wonder this Bond film is not called out for the same type of thing.
Maybe because nobody could figure out what ethnicity Connery was actually supposed to be (I think he was Romulan). Worst makeup job in film history. Compare Connery in You Only Live Twice to Joel Grey in Remo Williams. The makeup was so good in that film, most people didn't even realize that Grey wasn't Korean.
