Facts and Bloopers:

Bond meets Blofeld wearing no disguise other than a pair of glasses.  This dupes Blofeld despite their knowing each other from the last film.  As for Blofeld's powers of observation, one might speculate that he had been a lookout at Pearl Harbor!

Blofeld claims proof of his ancestry is tied to a genetic trait: lack of earlobes.  However it is quite obvious that Telly Savalas, who portrays the villian, is endowed with earlobes.  Had they said that all the previous Blofeld's lacked hair, Savalas's claims would have been indisputable.

When George Lazenby assumed the role in OHMSS, aconcept was briefly entertained that Bond's new look was the result of plastic surgery, designed to alter 007's all too recognizable features.  The idea was shelved as being patronizing to audiences.
