Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Australian model George Lazenby took up the mantle of the world's most suave secret agent when Sean Connery retired as James Bond--prematurely, it turned out. Connery returned in Diamonds Are Forever before leaving the role to Roger Moore and Lazenby's subsequent career fizzled, yet this one-hit wonder is responsible for one of the best Bond films of all time.

In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 007 leaves the Service to privately pursue his SPECTRE nemesis Blofeld (played this time by Telly Savalas), whose latest master plan involves a threat to the world's crops by agricultural sterilization. Bond teams up with suave international crime lord Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti) and falls in love with--and marries--his elegant daughter, Tracy (Diana Rigg). Bond goes monogamous? Not at first; after all he has Blofeld's harem to seduce. Lazenby hasn't the intensity of Connery but he has fun with his quips and even lampoons the Bond image in a playful pre-credits sequence, and Rigg, fresh from playing sexy Emma Peel in The Avengers, matches 007 in every way. Former editor Peter Hunt makes a strong directorial debut, deftly handling the elaborate action sequences--including a car chase turned road rally through the icy snow--with a kinetic finesse and a dash of humor. Though not a hit on its original release, On Her Majesty's Secret Service has become a fan favorite and the closest the series has come to capturing the spirit of Ian Fleming's books. --Sean Axmaker

The Bottom Line:

Lazenby is a bit flat and there's a major plot hole (how come Blofeld doesn't recognize Bond?) but the film is an exceptionally well-crafted thriller/adventure that emerges as one of the best of the Bonds.

- DVD James Bond
I haven't received this DVD as yet, apparently the person sending it, didn't use sufficient postage, and it went back return to sender. Needless to say after, paying $12.29 shipping and handling through Amazon, plus the exchasnge om my money.I wasn't to HAPPY. However the sender is trying to rectify this error, and I should get my Husbands, Christmas present, HOPEFULLY sometime in January.
I hope this review of this transaction is helpfull.
This, is the only disappointing transaction we have had with Amazon, lets hope its our last.

- Underrated, underappreciated Bond
On Her Majesty's Secret Service has taken a lot of heat over the years for any number of reasons, George Lazenby and Bond getting married are just two of the complaints, but OHMSS is really an above average Bond movie. 007's pursuit of Blofeld has come up empty so "M" takes him off the case, causing Bond to hand in his resignation which "M" counters with a two-week leave. Finally tracking Blofeld down on a remote Swiss Alp mountaintop, Bond uncovers a plot with a unique use of germ warfare created by Blofeld ready to be unleashed on the world. Being a Bond movie, the way the virus is distributed is very interesting. Clocking in at 142 minutes, OHMSS is one of the longer movies in the series, and in that first 45 minutes or so things do drag. The story really picks up when Bond begins to track down his Spectre nemesis Blofeld leading up to the biggest downer ending in the series. No song here, but a memorable ... Read More
