On Her Majesty's Secret Service. 1969.

James Bond has been trying to track down Blofeld, on nearing his search he is assigned from the case and agrees to go undercover for a Mob Boss to the Swiss Alps and falls for the Mob Boss's daughter.

First saw this film in the mid 90s and didn't really care for it as it wasn't Sean Connery or Roger Moore that we grew up with and it wasn't on television much and seemed to be all over the place. Second viewing of this and seemed better and more understanding the film and the way it goes, George Lazenby could have been a decent James Bond and it seemed there was a opening for him to continue with the role with his past gadgets and opening title sequence.

Telly Savalas takes on the role as Ernst Stavro Blofeld and makes it his own as the director of a institute for women and cures them of their food hates and also uses a brainwashing device so they can leave and create a pandemic in their own countries with a Foot and Mouth Disease. Diana Rigg plays the leading lady as somewhat spoil rich little girl who we seems to hate then we start to like and warm up to as well as Bond who thinks he has met his future wife. There is some good action fights and chase scenes from the start with the beach fight and a bodyguard who doesn't like to be taken down and the ski fight down the Alps and then to a bobsled chase between Bond and Blofeld.
