  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dianna Rigg
On Her Majestys Secret Service is the sixth film in the EON Productions James Bond series and the only one to star George Lazenby as British Secret Service agent, Commander James Bond, and the first and only film in which Bond settles on a single woman and marries her.
Her professional debut was in The Caucasian Chalk Circle in 1955, aged 17.
Her other films include The Assassination Bureau (1969), The Hospital (1971), Theatre of Blood (a Grand Guignol tongue-in-cheek movie in which she plays Vincent Price's daughter who helps him carry out his murderous plans which are set to the grimmest scenes in Shakespearean literature) (1973), and A Little Night Music (1977).

Flocks of herring gulls lazily rose and settled again at the girl's approach, and the air was full of their mewing and of the endless lap-lap of the small waves.
Her pace had slowed a fraction as she approached the water-line and her head, with its bell of heavy fair hair to the shoulders, was slightly bowed, in thought perhaps, or tiredness.
Her steps faltered and stopped, and then, as a small wave creamed in and died at her feet, she turned slowly and stood squarely facing him.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service will probably always remain the most controversial entry in the Bond series, thanks both to its unusually human and romantic story, and the notorious casting of novice actor George Lazenby as OO7.
Her surprise appearance at the Christmas celebration brightens up everything in an instant, and the ending is probably the only genuinely sad scene in all 20 of the Bond films.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Her Majesty both is and is not there, in the “UNIVERSAL EXPORTS.” “James Bond,” of course, is a Universal Export — perhaps, in the 1960s, Britain’s key universal export.
He is always carrying her shoes and chasing behind — that is, always carrying the trace of her — until the end of the film, when he is still ultimately alone.
While On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is attempting to position the past Bond films as passing through the hourglass — foregrounding the ’60s Bond as coming and going — and thus attempting presumably to clean the slate for another era of Bond movies, the film is also foregrounding the memorialization of the ’60s Bond.

With due regard to Sean Connery and the equally effective Timothy Dalton, George Lazenby, the star of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, is by far the closest of the Bond actors to the character of the books.

 On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service will probably always remain the most controversial entry in the Bond series, thanks both to its unusually human and romantic story, and the notorious casting of novice actor George Lazenby as OO7.
Director Peter Hunt, who had edited the classic early Connery films, was very keen to remain faithful to Fleming's original story, and as a result OHMSS has an unusually strong emphasis on character and plot, with the gadgetry and humour found in most Bond films largely jettisoned.
OHMSS sees Bond fall genuinely in love for the first and only time, and personally I found the film's romantic scenes both tender and touching, particularly for being so unexpected in a Bond film.

 YouTube - On Her Majestys Secret Service - Trailer
On OHMSS G.Lazenby indeed brought quite a "human quality or element" to his role, but he had to pay for it - OHMSS has obviously never been accepted by the so called "hard core" Bond fans although there are lots of brilliant sequences, remembering the spectacular snow scenes and the bob run...
OHMSS is one of the worst films in the james bond-era, I think.
I personally don't like OHMSS as much as Casino Royale, but the application of the style and technique in CR's trailer to OHMSS is absolutely brilliant and top-notch.

 On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service stands as one of the Bonds most beloved by many fans, and while I like it, I don't think it's worthy of such adoration.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is possibly the most obscure of the "official" Bonds - due to the presence of one-shot George Lazenby as 007 - but doesn't deserve that status.

 On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Remastered) - Music from the Movies
The first, his On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme, is what David Arnold freely calls a "killer tune." The second, 'We Have All The Time In The World', with lyrics penned by the superb Hal David, is an unforgettable romantic ballad.
The two form a remarkable contrast and a potent mix, lending Barry the ability to flip between the sweetest romance to the grittiest action.
To hear the nearly complete On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the full score wouldn't fit on a single CD, but the remaining omissions are minor such as the skating rink source music) is like tasting a top class wine at the height of maturity.

A parade of remarkable and sometimes notorious figures marches vividly throughout these lively pages, including Mansfield Cumming, in whose honor the present head of MI6 is still known as "C" (not "M," as in Ian Fleming's novels), master spy Sidney Reilly and Soviet double agent Kim Philby.
But the dominating figure, surprisingly, is Winston Churchill, whose faith in and fascination for secret intelligence manifested itself fruitfully from his tenure as home secretary before World War I to his days as prime minister in World War II.
Never mind that it is replete with pilot plots for a rich Masterpiece Theatre series, it has a lot to say about intelligence services, ideological politics, spy mania (real, fictional, and imagined), national character, and bureaucracy.
