BOND: ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE(1969)
Bond! James Bond!
A new Bond that is(George Lazenby in his only turn
at Bond)! And a new Blofeld(This time around Telly
Savalas![Kojak])! Telly does an excellent job as Blofeld!
While Lazenby was nearly acceptable as the new James
Bond. I will say this, he shows a lot of emotion at the
end of the movie that Connery never did show! And
again, it's BOND!
This does have the second best ever Bond song in
it(The first is from Octopussy - "All Time High" by
Rita Coolidge!!)!! The great Sachmo, Louie Armstrong
sings "We Have All The Time In The World"!! B+
A review from Amazon.com:
This one ranks up there with GF & FRWL among the
Bond series. Lazenby, perhaps lacking polish, is good
as Bond, Diana Rigg as Tracey is one of the best Bond
heroines ever. Telly Savalas as Blofeld is interesting.
Wonderfully directed by the late Peter Hunt, it brought
the series down to earth and it brilliantly adapted
Fleming's story (one of his best). Great action at Piz
Gloria and look for -- among Blofeld's clinic girls -- very
young Joanna Lumley(THE NEW AVENGERS) and
Catherine Schell -- as Catherine Von Schell --(SPACE
1999). Terrific ski sequence filmed by the great Wiley
Bogner. A show of what was to come, Q trying to
introduce M to the virtues of radioactive lint in the
opening. M's look of disgust says it all. This also the
only film where we see M's home Quarterdeck.
Great aerial photography by Johnny Jordan (who
was seriously injured during filming of YOU ONLY
LIVE TWICE). New extras include then press interviews
with George Lazenby which pretty well demonstrate
that he didn't have his head screwed on right at the
time. Walking away after one film would be something
he would regret for the rest of his life. L. Cabos
