I always felt that was the closest to Gunga Din.

Nelson, It is interesting to discuss and speculate. I always wanted to see Sean, Roger and Michael Caine in a remake of Gunga Din!

First off, I loved Dalton who brought the series back down to earth and gave them a 60's Connery feel again. Dalton smokes his Moreland specials and has his Ronson oxidized lighter, hooray!!!!Next up, I felt all of Roger's non Bonds were better than his Bonds, The Wild Geese, Gold, Shout At The...

Keith, In total agreement with you. It was one and done, Goldeneye being the best of the bunch! They progressively got worse with each film. Pierce always stated he was having a good time doing the films, but I wasn't having a good time watching them. Really? an invisible car!? I meant Roger...

I love Rigg because she was a real and experienced actor. But my favorite remains Daniela Bianchi.

I have the menu from Piz Gloria from years ago. Real Hot Chocolate is only 5.75! Peter Hunt fought hard for Lazenby especially after George told him he was not an actor of films. Hunt told him to keep his mouth shut. Harry found out had a fit, called him a clothe peg, after finding out he was a...

JohnnyLancer, George was so frustrated at that time they shot the scene really cried on camera. Hunt did another take, telling George the public should not see James Bond cry.

Had George stayed on (he wouldn't sign for the five) Diamonds would have also been different. Weather it would have been the hit it was with Sean, is another question. Probably doubtful. And the fact that they toyed with the definitive death of Blofeld always bothers me and then turned it into a...

Bob, Especially after Sean saw the finished product called Shalako. And right over the dunes of Shalako, Michael Caine was shooting Play Dirty at the same time.

Hey Keith! I am right beside you with Where Eagles Dare ( Ron Goodwin!) and The Big Country theme takes my breath away EVERY TIME! Amazing how music can make you feel.

Sam, You mentioned Joanna Lumley. The girls in the film spent TWO MONTHS at Piz Gloria shooting and Joanna came up with something to occupy their spare time during production. It was crocheting. Once the girls started they were reluctant tp stop as they were making shawls, scarves and even...

George was dating Jill St. John for a very short period of time as he stepped into Connery's shoes. It is true from the mouth of Mr. Lazenby that the whole Bond thing went to his head and he was bedding girls faster than anyone could count. You could have asked Lois Maxwell about that before she...

Michael Gambon over a smoked salmon sandwich and glass of champagne with Cubby Broccoli was asked to play the rle. Michael told Cubby he was not in shape, had bad teeth and little hair. Cubby told him he could fix those things. Adam West was asked and Adam told Cubby, Bond must be English...

Sam, If that's the case, I will ask it "Show me the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service starring me".

Just wanted to add another fun film fact for OHMSS. The line " this never happened to the other fella" came from this discussion. George was working weekends with the second unit and was told by one of them that "Connery never did weekends" with the 2nd unit. So George replied "this never...

George went into town and purchased a real Walther PPK from a female employee of a gun store. She refused to sell him the gun without a permit and he convinced her he was the star of the New James Bond film, currently working not far away on OHMSS. She sold him the pistol upon that basis. George...

Interesting comments above. Even though I saw Telly Savalas in 1967's The Dirty Dozen previously, I thought he made an excellent Blofeld. The locations are among my favorites next to Japan for You Only Live Twice. The look of the film by Michael Reed makes this Bond look like a "foreign" film...

One of the things that makes 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service close to the best James Bond Film (From Russia With Love is it for me) is the presence of a different James Bond, George Lazenby, whom, without any acting experience pulled it off. It is THE BEST PRODUCED film of the series...
