On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Year: | 1969 |
Director: | Peter R Hunt |
Cast: | George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas |
This time Bond gets caught up with a countess whose father, involved in some shady dealings with Blofeld (including a mountain fortress populated with beautiful young girls carrying deadly viruses with which to unleash on the world), begs him to woo.
The action in Austria and elsewhere is still classic, but things go right off the rails when Bond falls in love and marries, after which you're wondering if you're still watching a James Bond film.
