On Her Majesty's Secret
Service (1969)
Directed by Peter Hunt
this sixth Bond film stars George Lazenby, Diana Rigg and Telly
Savalas. After two years hunting for his arch enemy Bond finally gets
a lead from a rival crime boss in exchange for convincing the boss's
daughter to marry him.
Reviews for this film
are often mixed and the performance of Lazenby tends to divide people
but this is one of the better entries in the series. What the film
has going for it is that it sticks closely to the source material and
has probably the only truly emotional moment of the entire series.
There are some continuity errors that arise from the films being made
in a different order to the books and the occasional jump cut that
likely comes from second unit work but otherwise this is a well made
film.
4/5
