007 On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Plus Poll Results

One of my favorite James Bond films is On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This 1969 movie was the only one to star George Lazenby as 007. I've seen so much mixed reaction over the years about Lazenby and this film in general. Personally I love it. I think it would have been hard for any man to step into the shoes of Sean Connery. It didn't matter who the actor would have been. I thought Lazenby did a good job though. I loved the chemistry between him and Diana Rigg (who played Tracy, the woman Bond fell in love with and married). Telly Savalas is my favorite actor to have played archvillain Blofeld. The setting for the movie was so beautiful. I really enjoyed both the ski chase and car chase sequeneces. I also loved the music for the movie, whether it was the instrumental theme song or the love theme by Louis Armstrong. Here are some photos from this Bond movie. Have any of you ever seen it? If so, do you like it or not? Let me know what you think.





































P.S. The James Bond poll is now closed. And the winner is ...? Sean Connery! I don't think that would be any surprise to anybody. It sure wasn't to me.

Here are the results:

Sean Connery (53% with 24 votes), Daniel Craig (15% with 7 votes), Roger Moore (11% with 5 votes), Pierce Brosnan (11% with 5 votes), Timothy Dalton (4% with 2 votes) & George Lazenby (4% with 2 votes).

Sean Connery was an overwhelming winner. Daniel Craig as in second place. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan tied. Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby tied for last place.

George Lazenby & Diana Rigg Film On Her Majesty's Secret Service

I love these pictures of George Lazenby and Diana Rigg during the filming of the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I hope you enjoy these photos as well. All the photos feature George and Diana. The last one also features director Peter Hunt and producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli. Let me know what you think of these photos.

James Bond Is On Her Majesty's Secret Service

One of my favorite James Bond films of all time is On Her Majesty's Secret Service from 1969. This is the only film to star George Lazenby as 007. I actually think he held up pretty well under the unenviable task of stepping into Sean Connery's shoes as Bond. The film also features one of my favorite Bond girls in Diana Rigg as Tracy. I could see why Bond fell in love with her. Critics and fans tend to still be divided on Lazenby as Bond and the film itself. I think it's a shame he never played Bond again. For those who have seen this film, what do you think of it? What do you think of Lazenby as Bond?

Here is the title sequence for the film. I love the theme song for the movie. It's instrumental which is quite the departure from the rest of the franchise.



Here's a video someone made featuring We Have All The Time In The World by Louis Armstrong, which is the love theme of the movie. This is such a beautiful song.
