He looked, to my eyes, positively morose through most of the film, like he felt like he was wasting his time. I didn’t like the film but, even moreso, it looked to me Dalton, who definitely did a “grin and bear it” reading of some lines in The Living Daylights (lines obviously intended for a Roger Moore), seemed to be having a great deal of fun in the role in that film. When License to Kill was released, I eagerly went to the theaters ( cougholdfart) to see it and the moment it was over I thought “This is the last time we’re going to see Dalton in the role.” I was proven right, years later, when Pierce Brosnan, who the producers originally wanted to take over from Roger Moore but who couldn’t because of his contract with the TV show Remington Steele, got the job. Way, waaaaaaaaaaayyy back when The Living Daylights was released, I saw the film in the theater and thought Dalton made a terrific Bond and looked forward -very much so!- to seeing his follow up.
