Following Sean Connery’s departure from the James Bond franchise after his fifth outing in 1967’s You Only Live Twice, producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman began looking for their new 007. They found him in 29-year-old Australian model George Lazenby for 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which is on ITV this afternoon at 3:40pm.
Over the years, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service has been reassessed with some fans believing it to be one of the best 007 movies. Acclaimed Hollywood director and massive fan of the franchise, Christopher Nolan has said it’s his favourite Bond film.
He once told Empire: “What I liked about it that we’ve tried to emulate in this film is there’s a tremendous balance in that movie of action and scale and romanticism and tragedy and emotion.”
The latter was referring to the fact that, for the only time in the series’ 60 year history, Bond gets married.
No Time To Die featured music from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, including Louis Armstrong’s We Have All The Time In The World, with 007 saying those words himself.
However, it was Craig’s spy who kicked the bucket instead, while his lover Madeleine Swann lived on. After seeing the latest Bond movie, Lazenby shared on Instagram with a smile emoji: “Interesting choices of music I must say.”
