On her majesty's secret service

On her majesty's secret service

George Lazenby replaces Sean Connery as Bond. 1969. Director: Peter R Hunt.
Blofeld (Terry Savalas) is up to something in the Swiss Alps. After being taken to Marc-Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti, Bond (George Lazenby) agrees to meet the man's daughter Tracy (Diana Rigg) to get information about Blofeld's actions.
Tracy finds out that her father, who she isn't so very fond of, just bring Bond to meet her so that Bond can get his information. Hurt, she persuades Draco to tell Bond what he wants to know.
Bond, pretending to be the genealogist sir Hilary Bray (George Baker) who's been asked to come to Blofeld's place in the Alps to do research about his family. At first, everything seems to go smoothly and according to plan.
At Piz Gloria, Blofeld's place, there's a lot of pretty women. These beautys are 'patients', treated against different, weird diseases. But there's something much worse going on. Will Bond be able to stop it in time?
The locations are great. The view from a mountains top. It's all very nice. George Lazenby isn't so very good as Bond, he just feels wrong. Not the Bond type of man. Diana Rigg as the hard headed Tracy is good, she's a strong woman, but a bit to depending on her father...
