James Bond - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Ultimate Edition 2 Disc Set) [DVD]

OHMSS is well acted, beautifully shot, with excellent fight and action scenes and a convincing love story to boot, plus the classic Bond theme at the right moments. George Lazenby has a natural cool in this film that his successors failed to equal. What could have been if George had ignored his agent? Based on this film, a series of gritty, realistic, spy stories set in locations all around the world. My only criticism is that the climactic bob sleigh fight scene goes on a bit too long.Well worth repeated viewing.

Obviously it's a matter of personal preference who is your favourite Bond and I have to admit that George Lazenby is rather low on the list for me. But that doesn't mean this isn't a very solid entry in the franchise.The story is decent, Telly Savalas is quite magnificent as Bond's arch enemy Blofeld and Diana Rigg is possibly the best Bond girl and certainly the only one he marries (at least to date). Also fun the villain's mountain top lair and his "harem" of alluring ladies including the young Joanna Lumley. There's an exciting ski chase down the mountain and, like him or not, Lazenby is a very athletic actor and he is great in the action scenes.Add to this the usual array of exotic locations, high production values and a nice 60s flair and you have a very entertaining film indeed. One of the better Bond films as far as I'm concerned. Certainly worth checking out for anybody who hasn't yet seen it and worth owning for any Bond fan who doesn't yet have it.The 2 DVD Ultimate Edition has a huge amount of bonus material. If you like your DVD extras, this is certainly the one to go for.

Great Bond film, after Sean C. quit. Tough act to follow. But followed up well. Clever intro gave us a new Bond slowly and effectively to pull us into acceptance. Rest came off well, with added interest boost by having Diana Rigg, (another legend of a character as Mrs. Peel on Avengers cult series) as his romance. All plays out very well.

I remember being taken to see this at the cinema as a kid. The George Lazenby Bond grew on me over the years. This story was very entertaining. I have not read the original Ian Fleming book yet, but it is on my list. There was something rather gritty about the Bond in this film. Sean Connery was also gritty, but this one seemed to step up a notch and left a lot of the silly gadget things aside. I would say this ranks among my favourite Bond films. It stand beside a few others.

I used to, when younger avoid this Bond film feeling it didn't have that something that other bond films had, and not liking Lazenby as Bond. However Upon recently re-watching the film my opinion has somewhat changed. Firstly with George Lazenby who could have been a great Bond if he had continnued with a few more 007 films. I would say he could even have been one of the best actors to play bond. but this was to be the only film he did so that is immaterial. The film does still to me feel somewhat different to all other bond films. Almost like a stand alone film. perhaps because it was a First for both Lazenby & Director Peter Hunt who both didn't return after this film. It is still a great film very exiting with good action. Not sure of Telly Savalas' Blofeld nothing like the creepy Donald Pleasence of You Only Live Twice & not really overly threatening. It is also a mistake to say Blofeld kills Tracy Bond as that is actually Bloefelds henchwoman Irma Bunt. An Enjoyable film and one not to avoid as I did in my younger days. Great music score too from John Barry & featuring Louis Armstrong:We have all the time in the world.

I have had this D.V.D. for a long time, having the video in that era, as well as the vinyl soundtrack. I have always liked the film and George Lazenby, plus the film, got bad press at the time of its release. But I feel its still one of the best, on a par with Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig.The only thing that goes against it and dates it is the dress sense of the day, frilly shirts in the casino, mini skirts, and the colours of the day.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service was Ian Fleming's best Bond Novel. The Movie is just as great. The cocky and arrogant Lazenby is great as Bond who falls in love with one of the greatest Bond girls, Tracey played by Diana Rigg. Amazingly filmed with easily John Barry's greatest movie score, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is as good as a Bond movie gets.

This film always gets a poor review because of the actor, George Lazenby, but he wasn’t at all bad. There are links to later Bonds which sort of add some continuity to the whole series. There’s a scene which is reminiscent of Bambi and Thumper but the women in this film aren’t martial arts experts. The fight scenes are, perhaps, better than Sean Connery but not as good as Daniel Craig. Not surprising considering there’s 35 years between the films.
