Review Summary and Plot Commentary about On Her Majesty's Secret Service
George Lazenby takes over for Sean Connery in this 6th installment of the popular Bond series. 007 is off to the Swiss Alps to uncover a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. plot of germ warfare that could kill millions. And could this secret agent actually settle down with the lovely Tracy Di Vicenzo (Rigg) and get married? Considered by many to be the best Bond film of all! Followed by Diamonds Are Forever (Sean Connery returns as 007).
