DID YOU KNOW?
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is widely considered by critics to be one of the best Bond films despite being a box office disappointment.
THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
The most emotionally serious film in the franchise and, for a certain kind of Bond viewer, the best. George Lazenby's single appearance is more nuanced than its reputation suggests, and the film's willingness to give Bond a genuine emotional life and follow it to real consequence has rarely been matched. The ski sequences remain remarkable. It was dismissed at the time as the film without Connery; it has since become the film that proved Bond could be more than a formula.
