Review of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) by Muffin M — 27 Jul 2009

When Bond's usual intelligence sources fail, he enlists the aid of crime boss Draco (Gabrielle Ferzetti) to track down Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), head of the evil SPECTRE organisation.

The trail leads to the mountains of Switzerland where Bond (George Lazenby) goes undercover in Blofeld's hi-tech hedquaters. He encounters a bevy of seductive women, but none more beautiful than Draco's daughter Tracy (Diana Rigg), who wins 007 over with her fervent independence, caustic wit and love of adventure. Bond pledges his eternal devotion to her, but there are more immediate concerns: Blofeld is poised to unleash horriffic germ warfare weaponry tha will endanger every living thing on earth!

Also stars Ilse Steppat, George Baker, Bernad Lee, Lois Maxwell, Desmond Llewelyn, Angela Scoular, Catherine Von Schell and John Gay.

Directed by Peter Hunt.
