During the Japanese location filming Sean Connery announced that he was resigning from the role of Bond; however, Connery did later return in Diamonds Are Forever and the non EON Bond film Never Say Never Again. You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed 1977′s The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979′s Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. These three Bond films are notable for being epic in scale. The first Bond film to be released in the northern hemisphere summertime, the film was a great success, with positive reviews and over 1M in worldwide box office, and has been parodied most prominently by the Austin Powers series and its scar-faced, Nehru suit-wearing Dr. Evil. The backing soundtrack to the film, originally performed by Nancy Sinatra, was used by British singer Robbie Williams in his hit “Millennium”.
