Incidentally, you can't overstate how beloved Diana Rigg was by British men of a certain age.

When they asked Louis Armstrong to sing We have all the time in the world. He was already dying of cancer. The producers were so grateful he pulled himself together to sing this hit song.

That ending though…whoof. This is Lazenby’s only appearance as Bond, and I felt he did a great job. Losing his wife changes James completely, never getting close to another woman.

"She is by far the worst Bond girl" is by far the most sacrilegious thing you've ever said. 😆

All hail the Queen of Thorns, THE Bond Girl.

“Just a slight stiffness coming on”. That line almost made me paint my room with a mouthful of coffee. 😆

The more bond films you see, the more you’ll appreciate this one, it grows on you.

"That's not a real camera." That camera is one of the few Bond gadgets that is actually real.

Ashleigh laughing out loud at the "other fellow" joke is such a joy to see, especially as many people in the Bond fandom hate that line.

I know people missed Connery, but this is one of my favorite Bond movies and definitely has THE Bond Woman -- Dame Diana Rigg.

The older I get, the more I think that this is the greatest James Bond movie ever made... I truly love this film.

Ashleigh going from not thinking much of Tracy to being heartbroken at her death is a helluva arc. I love it.

Ironic that Connery, who is Scottish never wore a kilt as Bond, but Lazenby, who is Australian, did - the purse pocket in a Scottish kilt is called a sporran.

Fun fact this is based on the 10th novel in the book series and this movie tries to be the most authentic to the books yet.

If you want to see something hilarious, check out Popcorn in Bed's reaction to the ending of this film. You've never seen them so angry. It's funny because they're all "Oh, a wedding, I love it when a movie ends with a wedding".

Who didn't fall head over heels in love with Diana Rigg.

This one has the best bond girl.

This movie was closer to the book than the typical Bond film. It was profitable, but not as much as previous Bond movies. So they decided to go back to a formula.

What I love is his marriage is brought up a few times in various other movies and it clearly upsets him to talk about her.

I don't care what people say about "James Bond is a codename." I will never agree with that. James will always be a widow who only had heart for Tracy and I love it whenever she is referred to in the other movies, especially FYEO.

The game that Bond plays is Baccarat

Ashley look up Diana Rigg in the TV series the Avengers. She was the epitome of cool; her style, her clothes, her sports car, her cool apartment, her intelligence and wit, and her martial arts abilities. The show was high camp detectives, witty and strange and wonderful. Her last role was on Game of Thrones. She was, like Judy Dench, named a Dame of the British Empire. She was so fabulous, especially that role as Mrs. Peele to young girls like me in the mid 60s who yearned for adventure ourselves, but only saw housewives and secretaries on TV. She meant the world to us. Her and LieutenantUhura on Star Trek

Dame Diana Rigg is one of Britain's most beloved actresses and is considered by a lot of Bond fans as the best Bond girl in the series. Diana Rigg first came to fame in the 60s TV show The Avengers and appeared in many TV shows (Game of Thrones) and Movies (Theatre of Blood)

Yes Ashleigh. The guy at the beginning is supposed to be Bond. He's being looked at from within the barrel of a gun, hence the rifling around the circle. The game Bond always plays in the casinos is Baccarat. Family crests don't need to be brought back. They never left. You just need to be from a noble family to have one. Avarice = greed The "It's TRUE!" moment was in reference to the old belief that a Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt.

The fact Tracy was Dame Diana Rigg aka Olenna Tyrell from GOT is amazing

Lazenby had a cameo 'reprising' his role, but was only credited as "J.B." Was in the tv movie Return of the Man from UNCLE.

Diana Rigg had previously played Emma Peel on British spy shiw The Avengers (no Marvel connection). This is her description on Wikipedia: "As a lady spy adventurer and expert in martial arts, she became a feminist role model around the world and is considered an icon of British popular culture.[2] Regarded as a 1960s fashion icon and sex symbol, the character is often remembered for the leather catsuit sometimes worn by Rigg in her early episodes." She was Black Widuw before the Marvel character existed.

Ashleigh’s hair looking fabulous in this reaction. Also: Bless Beans little cotton socks!

As a kid, I had a YUUUUGE crush on Diana Rigg (based on Avengers, of course).

25:30 "It's true!" What's true is that Scottsmen do not wear underwear beneath the kilt. That reminds me: watch Braveheart sometime. Oh, and that little "fanny pack" positioned in front of the groin is called a sporran and it is helpful for hiding when a little stiffness comes on.

I forgot how good this movie was. Telly Savalas, the bad guy, is an excellent actor. His filmography has so many awesome films.

Scotsman here: the wee purse/fanny pack thing at the front of the kilt outfit is called a sporran. It's both a pocket (since the kilt has none) and also absolutely serves to protect one's crown jewels and conceal any bulging that might occur. The 'it's true' thing refers to a tradition that the kilt is worn without underwear. Known as wearing the kilt 'true scotsman' style.

This is actually my favourate, it has a real story arch, and less on the galore, ironically.

"This never happened to the other fella." Classic line!

"He has lost some sidekicks." Being assigned to work with James Bond is practically a suicide misdion.

Bond will never let himself Love another woman like that again

The bull head on the unicycle and the horse going around in circles is bullfight training for the horse.

This and Goldfinger are tied as my two favorite Bond films ever. OHMSS has arguably one of the best scores in a James Bond film.

47:45 "Oooo, a little dog!" Said about a Saint Bernard, one of the biggest dogs in the world.

Fun Fact: Peter Hunt, the Editor for the first five Sean Connery films (and was also a 2nd Unit Director for *"You Only Live Twice")* was the Director for *"On* *Her Majesty's Secret Service"* (his final 007 adventure). The Editor & 2nd Unit Director in this film was John Glen, and he returned to work for *"The Spy Who Loved Me"* (1977) & *"Moonraker"* (1979), and became the Director for five 007 films in the 1980s from '81 to '89.

Floor was rotating because the clinic at the top of th mountain was filmed at the Piz Gloria Restaurant at the top of the Schiltorn mountain in Switzerland

Diana Rigg was one of the best Bond Girls ever! She later became Dame Diana Rigg, honored for her lifelong career. Her last role was in the utterly delightful remake of All Creatures Great and Small.

Diana Rigg also starred in a TV series called "The Avengers" with Patrick MacNee. It was a tongue n' cheek spoof spy adventure series.

Definitely one of my favourite Bond films, quite possibly even my favourite of the older ones. It's got the best action scenes in the series so far with those glorious ski chase sequences, as well as some brilliantly tense sequences like the safe-cracking scene. John Barry's score is absolutely phenomenal, the definitive best soundtrack in the entire series, with a theme song so iconic Michael Giacchino would later use it as a reference for the theme to The Incredibles. This version of Blofeld is by far the best one, Telly Savalas being suave and cool, while also incredibly menacing. And above all, the romance between Bond and Tracy - one of the best Bond girls, played to perfection by Diana Rigg - makes this a really special entry, a beautiful heartfelt love story that really gets you to buy the idea that these two are truly in love, only to then rip it away in one brutal devastating moment. OHMSS was definitely a contentious film when it first came out, but it's one that definitely gets better over time, and the fact that directors like Christopher Nolan have labelled it their favourite Bond film tells you just how special this one is

Fun fact: This movie was supposed to be before You Only Live Twice, Blofeld's identity was supposed to be a plot twist. But there wasn't enough snow in Piz Gloria when they were about to start filming.

The reveal of Savalas as Blofeld kills me every time! We've had heavy hitters of international menacing voice & physical actors play the role. So who turns up...This Mug from New York.

This film has grown on me trough the years. Now it's one of my favorites in the series because the love story.

George Lazenby: Awesome. Diana Rigg: Fantastic. Telly Savalas: Best Blofeld. OHMSS: Totally underrated.

This was Lazenby's first acting role, he had done a few tv commercials and some modelling before this.

Yes , you were right . The theme tune We Have All the Time in the World is sung by the same guy who sang What a Wonderful World ( the song you talked about ) . It was the late and great Louis Armstrong .

This movie was generally not well received at the time and had been typically at the bottom of most fans list, but in the past ten years, it has become the one that had the best script and the most character development, and is now highly regarded.

Indeed a sad ending. They actually keep this story line in a couple future Bond Movies. In the Roger Moore movie "For Your Eyes Only" the movie opens with James visiting her grave. And, in the Timothy Dalton Bond movie 'License to Kill" (undoubtedly in the top 3 Bond movies EVER), he's attendings Felix Lighter's wedding and the bride notices that he seems sad. Felix mentions to her that James was married once.

You have to wait until For Your Eyes Only (6 Bond films from here) for this story to be resolved.

Most on here are saying the card game is baccarat, but it is actually a version of it called chemin de fer.

Blofeld is played by the late great Telly Savalas who played the Detective "Kojak"

The way Ashley laughs at "This never happened to the other fellow" makes it even funnier. 💖💖

I just love the way they put screeching tyres when the car was driving on the beach in the opening scenes ..

🔔 0:15 "How 'bout some more Beans, Mr. Taggart?" ➡ "I'd say you've had enough!" 🤣

I'm genuinely excited that you are plowing through these, I hope you watch them all ! It's a crazy ride, there's so much more to come !!

"I have questions, but I'm not even really sure what the questions are." That is not the last time you'll make that statement when it comes to the Bond franchise.

When the ending was filmed, the plan had been for Lazenby to play Bond in six more movies, with this one ending with him and Tracy driving off into the sunset and the sequel meant to start with Tracy’s death, kicking off a revenge story. Instead, Lazenby’s agent convinced him to drop out and the scene was used to end this movie instead

This is personally one of my favorites James Bond films because unlike most of Sean’s era I found it interesting Bond genuinely wanted to get to know a woman.

As a former croupier, the game they are playing is called Punto Banco. More commonly known as Baccarat. It is a popular game for high stakes gambling. The large flat things on the table are plaques, they are just like regular casino chips but for much higher amounts. Hope this helps

I love your Bind commentary. As a person growing up with a father that loved these movies and watching them all the time with him it's a real treat!

8:01 Yes, very good, you’re starting to notice differences in directorial style! This film did have a different director than the previous films (which didn’t all have the same director: Terence Young had directed DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and THUNDERBALL; Guy Hamilton directed GOLDFINGER; Lewis Gilbert directed YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE), in fact it was a first time director, Peter Hunt, who had been the editor of all the previous Bond films and also second unit director for GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL, and YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. It’s not terribly uncommon for film editors to shift to directing, or for some directors to also edit their own films, in collaboration or on their own. Cinematographers and actors also are known to do this, as well as move into producing.

I think this is director Christopher Nolan favorite James Bond movie.

George Lazenby got this role by literally showing up to the audition in cosplay as Bond and lying about having acting experience. He’s clearly not as natural as many but the movie itself is so good that it lifts his performance. This is my favourite Bond film cos it’s got a lot of heart.

This is a Bond movie that grows on you with every rewatch. It's, as others pointed out, the one movie with major character development. Also, the end of this movie is the basis for the increasingly jaded attitude classic (Pre-Craig) Bond has from now on.

Lazenby had the look. I think he could have developed into a good Bond and I truly wish he would have been in Diamonds Are Forever. When I was younger I didn’t like this entry as much. Perhaps it lacked what I was used to seeing in Bond. Now it is a personal favorite of mine not just on the series but of all time.

Probably the best OST in the franchise.

Apparently George Lazenby lied to get the part of James Bond. He said he acted in a bunch of things in Australia but this was his first role.

I really wish Lazenby had agreed to do more movies. I thought he did a great job taking over the role. And, Ms. Rigg is always a welcome sight.

This was George Lazenby's first and only Bond film he had ever made, because the producers didn't like any of his ideas and that he tuned a $2 million dollar contract with EON productions, which he would regret later on.

Fun fact: One of the girls in the chalet was British actress Joanna Lumley, who played Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous, a very funny comedy series . . .

"Come later" "He's trying to" - Asheigh. And that is exactly why I love watching your channel! 🤣🤣

I hope you didn't skip the Louis Armstrong song at the end which just delivers the additional emotional gutpunch.

OHMSS had the BEST instrumental theme.

So, they made a documentary about it a handful of years ago called "Becoming Bond", that's fun, but the short version is that George Lazenby was an Australian male model who didn't have any acting experience, and basically conned his way into getting the part, but once he had the part, he basically wasn't that into it and bailed, and then Sean Connery ended up coming back anyways. I don't think many people really liked his one appearance as Bond, but he seems like he was a pretty cool dude in real life. Oh, and if you think this Bond was forward, wait until you get to Roger Moore. I like Roger as Bond, and in general as an actor, but in those movies, it's almost like damn! He can pull it off because he's Bond, but if he wasn't it would come off as pretty creepy. Sean Connery never had to work that hard for it.

The amount of great actors that have played Blofeld is incredible

I love how the song "We have all the time in the world" comes back into the James Bond world.

I remember seeing this at the drive-in. My mom was mad that Connery was gone, but really enjoyed this one

Say what you want about George Lazenby, I believe he's the only Bond actor who could've played the ending as well as he did!

The funniest part of this movie is that Diana Rigg hated George Lazenby. Apparently he was a bit of a method actor and was raising skirts with everyone. Perhaps she had a crush on him at first and then got jealous, but regardless. In one of the kissing scenes they had together, she actually ate a raw onion, just to piss him off. ;) George has stated that he was a real jerk back then and really full of himself. He's pretty humble about it now though.

If you want to have fun, watch the tv series "The Advengers" with Diana Riggs(Mrs. Peel) & Patrick McGee(Mr. Steed). I loved this show. Just remember it's not meant to taken serious. Just a fun, adventurous show with crazy situations. Diana Riggs was great in this show. "Mrs. Peel, we're needed!"

Hey, I don't recall if you've mentioned it in the other Bond films, but the music in these movies is iconic. Some of the themes were big hits on the charts, this film had a rare instrumental for the opening title. The ending song by Louis Armstong is so appropriate though. You should check out the 'Best of Bond' CD (or streaming audio) and play it while you're driving....

The bald bad guy was the late great Telly Savalas and you can find him in a number of 70's movies and tv shows.

The villains base is a revolving restaurant called "Piz Gloria" I have been there twice over the years. The Bobd crew got the use of before it was fully finished and open to the public.

OMFG Ashleigh! The “Stop it!” sent me! 🤣😂🤣

George Lazenby took the worst advice ever from his Agent. His agent said Bond would never last and he should not do them which caused him to turn down a 7 movie deal to play the part. Peter Hunt was the editor to quite a few Bond Movie and they gave him his shot to direct .Lazenby never had another big budget part the rest of his career . Also he was a total ass while making this movie and the Bond Regulars behind the scenes couldn't stand him

The "watch strangler thing" is a garrote: "...a weapon and a method of capital punishment. It consists of a handheld ligature of chain, rope, scarf, wire or fishing line, used to strangle a person." -Wikipedia

34:05 Snowboarding hadn’t been invented at the time. As soon as it was, it immediately appeared in a Bond movie. You’ll know when you see it.

I was waiting for you to get to the “he had lots of guts” line. Knew you’d hate it. Bahahahaha!

Every now and then, a future Bond movie will make a reference to Tracy, including (I think) one villain who tries to get under his skin by mentioning her. I also seem to remember a shot of her gravestone in one of them. So there is a certain amount of continuity, although it’s tangled, at best.

Remember that "we have all the time in the world" part and the song by the same title.

"This never happened to the other Bond" - that sentence describes a great part of this movie.

The next James Bond movie up is Diamonds Are Forever. A lot of people would probably say skip it, but I think it's interesting enough to react to. At least to see Sean Connery one last time as James Bond. At least before moving on to Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. Roger Moore's Bond movies are definitely a wild up and down ride.

I loved Diana Rigg (The Countess) in Game of Thrones. RIP.

The book Bond is so significantly different than the movie Bond except for kinda this movie. The book Bond is a cold war warrior that is a broken man; this death, torture and just disassociation. The glamour masks this and hides the real man who has a nervous breakdown, probably ptsd and is a front-line warrior who is damaged and wounded and thrown back into the battle time after time in service to his country. The movie Bond shallows the person behind the suit. This movie humanizes Bond, at least insofar as he experiences a real cost.

Hi, Mrs. Burton. To answer your questions about avalanches, I happen to have worked at a ski resort for a few years (nothing as big as depicted in the movie, though) and I can tell you that "noise causing avalanches" thing is a well known legend to anyone living in a mountainous area. Although it was based on a scientific hypothesis that the reverberation of sounds caused by loud noises in a mountainous area could trigger an avalanche, it is nothing but a myth... that a lot of peoples still believe in today. Also, anybody unlucky enough to be caught up in an avalanche is pretty much screwed up from the start... As they get pretty much buried alive under the snow. That is why a lot of big ski resorts on the North-American west coast or the European Alps also have search and rescue dogs, specially trained to sniff out humans trapped under the snow. Unfortunately, as timing is crucial in order to dig survivors out, a lot of them end up suffocating to death. That is also why ski resorts are (generally) very careful and will close any sector of the mountain that shows any danger of avalanche. Hope it answer your questions. :)

George Lazenby has to be the best Bond imo. Only for the fact he conned his way into rhis role. Made up so much stuff and just kept rolling with it. Theres an awesome documentary about it i suggest you take a peak at that shows how he did it.
