Even though I haven't seen it, I'd like to know people's opinions on On Her Majesty's Secret Service, or George Lazenby in particular.

I hated Lazenby as Bond. He was too doofy.

That said, it's a fine 60's Bond film, with one of the better scores by John Barry (so good, it was used for the main credits ... the last Bond film not to feature an actual song over the credits). Terry Savalis is the best Blofeld of the series, and - of course - OHMSS is the one where Bond falls so in love that he actually gets married!


George Lazenby was the shortfall in this film (imo). Too bad. With Connery in the role, it might have been one of the very best. That Connery came back for the one after this is a lamentable irony.
