Raycevick's Recommendations: On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Not that I'm complaining, as so far, all that's come from it, is that I've come to really enjoy movies I wrote off during childhood. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is so much more than "that one without Connery."
While George Lazenby's lack of acting experience is evident in places, it's far from a performance bad enough to impact its compelling story, engaging characters, and exquisite filmmaking. The action is fast, punchy, and edited more like something from the 90's than thirty years earlier.
Like with Live and Let Die, when people speak of this movies delayed appreciation, after watching it, I get it.
Comments
There's a documentary on Hulu about Lazenby called Becoming Bond and it is absolutely hilarious
