I seem to recall much gnashing of teeth elsewhere about that curious error when the UE DVD came out.

Given how the studios sometimes grab whatever reels seem to be handy without really checking the contents, I'm surprised nobody ever released the ABC tv cut by mistake. ;)

I want to see that O.H.M.S.S. ABC T.V. abomination so badly! It was out in the torrents a few years ago as a faithful fan reconstruction, but somehow I missed getting hold of it. Yet, I do have the soundtrack audio around someplace, so I have heard it at least.

 

Even the website of the guy who made it seems to have gone missing.

I have vague memories of seeing it on ABC. (Honestly thought it was a made for tv thing at the time, as the other fellow wasn't in it!) All my early Bond experiences were with tv. I didn't realize until HBO ran all the Bond films in 1981(?) how much ABC snipped and sanitized them.

I seriously think an all 007 channel would be cool, actually. :)
