Facts about

Certain film techniques appear in the James Bond series for the first time in this picture: slow motion (when Bond is knocked out in his bedroom), flashback (Bond remembering Tracy being captured). Often "breaking the fourth wall" is named as a technique that is (for the first time) used in this movie, but in fact is isn't: George Lazenby does not look into the camera, when he says; "This never happened to the other fellow". And though it seems to be a self referential remark (Lazenby replaced Sean Connery as Bond) it also has a meaning in the context of the story.
The poetry that Tracy quotes to Blofeld ('Thy dawn, O Master of the World, thy dawn ... ') is derived from a speech in James Elroy Flecker's play, 'The Story of Hassan of Bagdad and How He Came to Make the Golden Journey to Samarkand'.
A tagline on an unused piece of poster artwork read: The New Bond. 007 and Bride.
