Robert Rietti 100th Anniversary

Tribute to Robert Rietti (1923 - 2015), the voice of many characters in the James Bond films: Largo in Thunderball (1965), Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice (1967) and Ernst Stavro Blofeld in For Your Eyes Only (1981).

Love this -- as a life lone Bond movie fan --- I learned something with this video!

This is a great post and thanks for doing so. I did not know he voiced so many Bond characters. He was very deserving to actually play a role in Never Say Never Again. I will now see these films in a different way.

Don’t know why they dubbed Celi: his pronunciation is fine here. Mind you the “ Good Afternoon Meeester Bond” accent of Rietti became legendary. He was voice of Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice too and Blofeld in the opening “remote control helicopter” sequence of For Your Eyes only with his manic laughter.
