The new online issue of Bright Lights Film Journal contains an excellent reappraisal of the 1969 James Bond entry On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This has always been my own personal favorite Bond film, the one with the coolest gadgets, the most exciting set pieces, and the loveliest leading lady in the entire series. Sure, George Lazenby leaves a vacuous impression, but even that aspect works. Having the role played by a not-so-charismatic actor somehow makes James Bond seem more human and infallible.
