On Her Majesty's Secret Service (VHS, 1995)

Starting back in 1962, the character of British secret agent 007 James Bond was brought to the big screen in what has turned out to be the longest-running film series ever produced. Bond has been played by actors Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. But, back in 1969, he was portrayed just one time by an Australian-born model and actor named George Lazenby in the movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". Many fans of the Bond series consider this one to be the best in the series, as it closely follows Ian Fleming's variation more closely than any other film variation. The basic premise concerns that of 007 trying to intercept Ernst Stavro Blofeld (played here by Telly Savalas) from domination, once again. In the film, Bond faces Blofeld, who is planning on unleashing a plague through a group of brainwashed "angels of death" (which included early appearances by Joanna Lumley and Catherina von Schell) unless his demands are met. Making the story a much more interesting twist into the production is the fact that this film marks the only time in which James Bond actually gets married! His main lady-love is Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, played by Diana Rigg, who was just fresh from her role as Emma Peel on television's "The Avengers". The score is one of the best ever produced; and the action sequences are cleverly staged in the grand style of the 007 series. This film may not be for everybody, but it has a lot to offer. Even with Lazenby's one-time role as Bond, this installment remains as fun and exciting as ever.

I SEEN THIS MOVIE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT BACK IN THE 60'S. AND HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH JAMES BOND EVER SINCE. IT IS A THE ONLY MOVIE WHERE HE GETS MARRIED. LOTS OF ACTION FOR IT'S TIME ERA, AND IT HAD A DIFFERENT JAMES BOND. WHO WOULDN'T LOVE IT? I THINK IT IS WITH OUT A DOUBT THE FINEST BOND MOVIE EVER MADE. !!
