[@horrorfanandy4647]

Behind a man's crotch! But in all seriousness, totally iconic, Donald Pleasence was the best Blofeld, so menacing and creepy!

[@KYoung-kj7hr]

That must have been a really exciting moment for the cinema audience at the time. For years they have been puzzling over who this mysterious Spectre No. 1 is, and finally he shows his face.

[@counterinfluencer5684]

It was actually disappointing at the time. The previous films had shown Blofeld as gruff-voiced, dark and menacing, and Donald Pleasance was a bit too "light". The feeling was like, "THAT'S him?" It didn't help that he had just been in The Great Escape and Fantastic Voyage where he also played rather mincy characters.

[@ΜακηςΛ-ε5ρ]

@@counterinfluencer5684 It would be better if Pleasence played Henderson. Ηis murder would not be true - like Bond in Hong Kong - and here he would say that he is Blofeld's half brother, and Blofeld is the leader.

I wish they kept this look for Blofeld. It's menacing and refined at the same time

[@legoworldstudios1323]

The reason why they changed it to Savalas and Grey is understandable because the actor that plays Blofeld in this movie was called Donald Pleasance and he was quite old so in OHMSS they had to change him because Savalas was more of a physical blofeld ( I don’t know why they got rid of the scar though) and in DAF they couldn’t rehire Savalas or Pleasance because Sean Connery wanted a truckload of money to star in DAF

01:26 Connery plays that momentary discomfort so well. You can see him processing Blofeld’s hideous face as he’s winding back that quip

[@collingalanos1783]

That momentary discomfort for Connery was real. He was thinking, "They should've offered me more money".

[@JavertRA]

I also like the discomfort on Osato's face when he sees Bond again, it's like "I thought I killed him, they're going to get me now..."

[@maren-elenaostfeld1701]

Maybe 007 is disgusted by the evil face of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in this scene! But he seems to be totally overwhelmed by the thaught, that someone so evil and that hideously disfigured is able to inaugurate this new world order, that leads Ernst Stavro Blofeld zu world domination! And Bond can only look how his enemy is winning!

As for what Craig 'lacks' according to you and snobs like you, please try and remember that both Connery (and to a lesser extent) Moore were both imitators of Cary Grant in _North by Northwest_ to begin with anyway, so originality was never a great ingredient of the Bond movies past or present (the Connery movies imitated whatever was popular in other movies in the 1950's and had a ton of stuff about the space program in _Dr. No_ and _You Only Live Twice_ , two of the Moore ones [ _Live & Let Die_ , _Moonraker_ ] were influenced by Blacksploitation films and _Star Wars_ respectively, and _License To Kill_ was a ripped from the headlines movie about the Colombian narco cartels complete with a bad guy who was as ruthless as Pablo Escobar or El Chapo.) As I just said above, complete originality hasn't really been a feature of the Bond movies (plus one other thing-Craig was actually the closest facially to how Fleming described him, with a cruel mouth [the only deviation was that Craig is a blonde.])

[@maren-elenaostfeld1701]

To disappoint many others stating comments to this vid before, I interviewed many people that saw this film in 1967 in cinema. As well as men also women said that the reveal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld was more than iconic! One woman said she was firstly shocked by the hideously scarred face but she later saw the sexy pantsuit of Ernst Stavro Blofeld! And this iconic pantsuit and the way he describes his masterplan to take over world domination was that overwhelming for her, that this scene is her most desirable turn on she loves to see!

[@ΜακηςΛ-ε5ρ]

It would be more interesting if Pleasence played Henderson, with the scar on his face from Singapore in '42 instead of the lost leg. His murder would not be true - like Bond in Hong Kong - and here he would say that the leader is Blofeld, who is his half brother. This would also explain, why Bond and Blofeld doesn't know each other in the next film.

[@strikerbowls791]

[@Herba2]

My favorite scene in the entire movie

[@maren-elenaostfeld1701]

Ernst Stavro Blofeld is so larger than life! Sees himself as the most superb being ever! And with his ingenious masterplan he is the unstoppable and invincible overlord! Self-confident and faultless! Already worshipped as a god within his organisation Spectre, he obsesses over almighty power! That's the reason why he will take over world domination!

That's a good point! Because the climax has eben steadily increased in Blofeld's former missions when the audience just knew that there is a perfect supervillain who founded and leads SPECTRE in such a perfect manner that he achieved with his ingenious masterplans that SPECTRE became the most powerful evil syndicate in the world! And so he developed the most perfect masterplan which will lead him to be able to take over world domination! And so Ernst Stavro Blofeld is executing the plan himself to guarantee its total success! So it is also the time to face his arch-enemy to defeat him once and for all! And thereby catapulting himself to become the perfect dominator of the world! And the fact that Ernst Stavro Blofeld perfectly worked on the most perfect moment to meet Bond face to face by the time when he can combine his biggest two successes is stunning! Defeating Bond and take over world domination at the same time! And also the audience can participate at this iconic moment! When Ernst Stavro Blofeld is showing off his complete countenance the first time ever! Love it❤! And the super-noble, super-sexy, beige silk pantsuit Ernst Stavro Blofeld has chosen to wear as his world-domination-outfit is fashion-wise completely iconic!❤
