Review of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) by John E — 22 Apr 2009

One of the most faithful adaptations of a Fleming novel, and one of the most moving of the Bond films. George Lazenby does a fine job for somebody in his first major acting role. He could have been good if he would have stayed around as Bond.

If Connery would've been in this, it would have been even more awesome. The action is violent, swift, and brutal. Telly Savalas makes for a menacing Blofeld. The music is one of John Barry's best and most touching; his most emotive soundtrack.
