Odd Bond out On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Advantages: great features and pin sharp picture, lush booklet
Disadvantages: We want Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound - nothing less!

This disc is the sixth in the series of digitally remastered, feature packed, DVD releases of James Bond. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the odd-ball James Bond film in the series, for the very fact that George Lazenby takes his role as Britain's ultimate secret agent for one time only, amid Sean Connery's efforts (George replaced Sean, but Sean returned to do the next film, Diamonds are Forever).

The year is 1969, Sean Connery had spectacularly resigned from the role on the grounds the audience would not relate to him anymore due to the fact he was too old for role, in reality he was just approaching 40. His feelings were that he could not play Bond much longer without the character becoming a caricature of an aging playboy. Director Peter Hunt had a right job on his hands for this film, for starters the star of the previous five Bond films had gone, he had a new guy playing ...
