I watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service yesterday, the first and only 007 film that stars George Lazenby as Bond, and to tell the truth, it wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be. Lazenby is fine as Bond. This is the first film in which Bond falls in love, and it's interesting that it therefore has the darkest ending to a Bond film so far. Telly Savalas takes over for Donald Pleasance as Blofeld and does a good job. The downhill ski chases are great. I am, however, sitting in increasing awe at Bond's one-liners. A SPECTRE agent falls into a snow machine and gets chewed up and spit out all over the mountain, prompting Bond to say, "He had a lot of guts." Arnie had nothing on this guy.
