There are better examples in the movie, but even in this scene I think the cinematography in OHMSS is such a step-up from the previous Connery movies (or even the Moore ones that followed it). We get more interesting angles of Moneypenny's office than the usual, singular 'audience-watching-a-play' angle we usually saw her and Bond from, we get a cool little visual flourish like Bond seeing himself reflected in the framed glass of the picture of the Queen and the whole thing looks slightly darker, moodier and grainier than the usual well-lit way the MI6 scenes were shot. Some of the many reasons this movie is such a stand-out of the older Bond movies for me.
Yes, good call on the Moneypenny scene. That was simple yet effective. Just seeing her behind the desk plunges the viewer into her point of view. You feel the impact of Bond's resignation on Moneypenny. Michael Reed was no joke.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ what? imagine comparing this great vintage film to The Last Jedi, of all things. sure, the cinematography might have been the only standout on it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the visual flair OHMSS displays, which is very inventive and distinct for its time.

It would've been so easy to just cut to the picture, then back to Bond with the flask and have him raise it to the Queen, but Peter Hunt decided to add something more interesting to the frame, and his creative touch will forever make me grateful he ever got a chance at directing a Bond film.

Same here but my excuse was I saw OHMSS before I saw Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Thunderball. Then when I saw OHMSS again I got the Easter eggs.
This puts to rest the goofy notion that James Bond is some codename for more than one person. He has in his personal possession all of the gadgetry from the previous missions/films complete with a musical interlude from those films as HE reminisces over each of them.

This is still my favorite James Bond movie, I wish that we would of had a couple more with George Lazenby I feel as though he would have grown into that role beautifully.
It’s my favorite too. It just has so many elements that few Bond films since have been able to match. It has the best Bond girl, the best music, and the best version of Blofeld that’s both charming and terrifying. I know that Lazenby is probably the least talented actor to play Bond, but I would without question watch OHMSS multiple times over any of Brosnan’s Bond films.
@@cooperwolfe5478 I watched GoldenEye and OHMSS back to back, absolutely loved both, but Louis Armstrong's beautiful song will never fail to make me cry. what could've been if Lazenby hadn't been so myopic in his jarring decision to leave the franchise so soon...
We all know the type of people that believe in the codename theory are those victim guys, who live on social media, that want a black James Bond. You can tell they don't pay attention to the scripts and have only watched a few Bond movies. They always say ''James Bond is a codename'', just to give people hope that a black man can play James Bond. I've seen it on every post about ''Idris Elba next james bond?''. So annoying.
I'm not sure the fact he has a drawer full of (mostly) standard issue equipment ends the code-name theory. Also, whilst the codename theory may have been hijacked by those wanting a black/gay/transgender 007, it predates all that and has its origins in the 1967 spoof 'Casino Royale' and was subsequently used to justify (a) the "other fella" comment (b) 007 changing appearance three times in as many films and (c) 007 getting younger after AVTAK. For me, jury's still out on that theory but I don't see anything in this scene that disproves it. My preferred theory though - 007 is a Time Lord!
@@RJSRdg I respect your thoughts on the matter but it won't hold. Two of those items in his desk or not his. One is honey Riders knife and the other is Red Grants watch. Why would a newbie keep those?

If they are all different people, why does "Bond" always have exactly the same relationship with "Moneypenny" and "Tanner", even though it must be about a dozen different agents? Why do the CIA employ exactly the same "standard issue transferable codename" practice as MI6 for Leiter? And if they do, why is "Bond" always personal friends with "Leiter"?

The codename theory only exists to appease boring, literal minded people who think the fact that multiple actors have played the same part needs explaining.
My God. This movie was publicized so much and they even promoted George Lazenby as the ultimate successor of Connery. Even the pre-title sequence was like an ode to Connery. Little did anyone know, Lazenby would be Bond for a solitary time.
James Bond isn’t a code name. This scene is a living proof of it Edit: also sir roger moore in for your eyes only visiting Tracey’s grave is also a proof
The tombstones of Bond's family in Skyfall also proofs that James Bond isn't a code name. The only code is the number designated to him as a double 0 agent and that is 007. He could very well be 008 or 004 in an alternate universe or something.. Haha

Love the ode to the great moments of the bond films of yesteryear with matching music. The passage of time. I wish to God Lazenby had done Diamonds. Ohmss is # 4 on my all time 007 film list. Fantastic fantastic film.
Timelord22 this...is a thing? It’s gotta be made up by people who haven’t even watched the movies. James Bond, even if the actors were different, was always the “same” man until Daniel Craig took over. This was never an issue lol. If you look the actors for Blofeld and Felix Leiter always changed too, but they’re still the same character in-universe.
i just noticed a little oversight in this scene. Bond first takes the knife and puts it in the table, but when he takes Grant's watch the knife is inside the drawer, and when he takes the underwater breather the knife is on the table again.
I will never cease to be incredulous that this man was still in his twenties when this was shot. He looks at least as old as Brosnan and Dalton did in their early forties. He must have gotten a lot of sun in his youth to look that leathery and wrinkled by 29.
Originally George Lazenby was supposed to return for Diamonds Are Forever but Lazenby turned in his resignation to leave the role of James Bond before pre production even began on Diamonds Are Forever and several actors were sought for the role including Roger Moore who couldn’t do it as he was busy with his tv show then. They got Connery to finally return after offering him $1.2 million.
@@scottknode898 I would have loved to see Lazenby do another film. But I feel like it worked out in the end because had Lazenby decided to do Diamonds they would have changed the ending of OHMSS. They wouldn’t have killed Tracy at the end of OHMSS. but instead they would have killed her during the pre-credits scene in Diamonds. Which while still a sad death, it wouldn’t have the same gut-punch as it does at the end of OHMSS. But that’s just my opinion.
@@AsadAli72 it was his agent who felt the Bond series would no longer be relevant in 1970s and wouldn’t continue and told Lazenby to leave the role. Lazenby listened to his agent due to being a young inexperienced actor and didn’t do well with the pressures and demands of playing Bond and had quite a contract that caused falling out with producers due to his inexperience and youthful cockiness on set and being very difficult to work with. Lazenby told the press he was leaving the role and could get more work without Bond.
@@Hithere-ek4qt Nonsense. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the best film in the franchise. Not the best Bond adventure but the best in terms of cinematic language. The camera work is far more sophisticated than usual, there's enough depth of character to make the film melodramatic without compromising the integrity of the characters, and Lazenby's lack of experience meant that Bond exhibited a vulnerability that character lost after the first film. Of the twenty plus Bond films, I place On Her Majesty's Secret Service at number three. The film has never been surpassed.
He looks older then Brosnan Dalton and Moore when they started strange guess he aged differently then them more mature look at that age looks mid thirties for sure Lazenby
I've always found it fascinating that the mementos in Bond's desk are exclusively from the three Terence Young films. I wonder if that's just a coincidence or if director Peter Hunt did it in tribute to the man that he'd have worked with the most on these films as an editor. If you want to overanalyze things you could also see it as a bit of a hidden continuity nod, as OHMSS, along with the three Young films, are much more in line with the Fleming novels, not to mention that Bond's interactions with Blofeld seems to suggest that they never met before, as they obviously did in YOLT. Not that continuity was a big priority back then in general, but its a fun thought.
Why would you cut the best part out? The part where moneypenny changes it from a resignation to two weeks leave? Bond and M are both secretly grateful she was able to deescalate the situation
I doubt they would’ve made those callbacks if it was Connery in this movie. They’re ere probably there to try and remind the audience that this was the very same Bond
Conventional wisdom dictates that Connery would have been a better fit but I doubt it. He was sick of the role in You Only Live Twice so I doubt he would have turned in a fine performance in this film. Also, he never would have exhibited the emotional vulnerability Lazenby did.
@@ricardocantoral7672 About he was sick of the role, this may work in favor of the film. An agent tired of his job, finds happiness in love and marriage. Bond here is a mature man with experience, like the actors in the other roles. Doesn't need to exhibited Lazenby's emotional vulnerability. Connery and Rigg would be like him and Bardot in ''Shalako''.
I would bet a few weeks later, Moneypenny expected a quip about him probably immediately taking his job back only to get absolutely no reply, just to make her worry *even more.*
Craig bland Bond movies ruined the chronology of the existence of James Bond as a person. It only shows that there is only one James Bond from Connery years continuing to Lazenby (as shown in this scene) and up to Moore (Pre credit title of FYEO), Dalton (License to Kill mentioning the death of his wife) and Brosnan (TWINE).
His inexperience as an actor didn’t help as never made a film before when played Bond and he later said he never received any acting tips on how to do the role but producers and director didn’t like Lazenby and found him overly cocky and difficult to work with.
This scene never worked for me. In the novel Bond is older, rather jaded and considering retiring much earlier in the story. It's not quite the same when presented as a relatively minor spat between Bond and M. Perhaps if Timothy Dalton had done this scene he'd have been able to inject a sense of Bond's frustration into the performance and sell it, but it's just not in Lazenby's range unfortunately. For the record, I think Lazenby has a lot of good moments in this film, and it's very good for his first acting job, but he comes off as wooden at times and this is a good example.
@@tijnonline6807 thanks for the link. Its crazy how George and Peter Hunt had almost 2 different stories, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed Becoming Bond because I know I did.
One of the best Bond movies, easily in the top 5. I think Lazenby was much better than Moore. Well, Moore could've been great, if his Bond movies werent so over the top ridiculous.
New theory. James has been keeping equipment from operations m, skimming money from accounts and having a fleet of cars repaired secretly by the scientists from spectre that he lets live, all to enact a final assault against an as of yet revealed villain.
This movie literally created huge fantasy of marrying this Beautiful and Gorgeous 💖 Bond girl in my mind. This movie created dreams of marrying her in my mind a lot. This movie shouldn't have been made. I wish I had never watched this movie. These movies in the name of Entertainment, only and only created huge fantasies about Gorgeous 💖 and Beautiful Girls in viewers mind. No one has taken objection on this.
Lazenby can’t even pronounce “Ma’am” correctly. If Broccoli and Saltzman absolutely had to cast an Australian with zero acting experience, at least they could have got a half-decent dialect coach for him.
Yes, but in fairness he wasn't an actor prior to this film, just a Male model, who was a huge Bond fan and wanted the part. He lied his way into the role, in a way only Bond could have done, and he will always have my respect for that!

I've always found it fascinating that the mementos in Bond's desk are exclusively from the three Terence Young films. I wonder if that's just a coincidence or if director Peter Hunt did it in tribute to the man that he'd have worked with the most on these films as an editor.
If you want to overanalyze things you could also see it as a bit of a hidden continuity nod, as OHMSS, along with the three Young films, are much more in line with the Fleming novels, not to mention that Bond's interactions with Blofeld seems to suggest that they never met before, as they obviously did in YOLT. Not that continuity was a big priority back then in general, but its a fun thought.
When you're leaving your house and you make sure you take the best items.
Why would you cut the best part out? The part where moneypenny changes it from a resignation to two weeks leave? Bond and M are both secretly grateful she was able to deescalate the situation
It never occurred to me he'd have an office but I mean...of course he would.
I would love to do what Bond started to do at 1:08, but do it in memory of HM.

ITS A SHAME GEORGE, DIDN'T CONTINUE AS BOND.I THINK THIS IS A GREAT FILM NO MATTER WHAT THE CRITICS SAY.
I love the Honey Ryder reference. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The only Bond film that shows his office room (from 976-Creoleman).
I am 10 years older than this actor at this point in his life, and I look at least 10 years younger. Why is everyone back then so damn old looking?
Too much smoking and drinking?
I Love This Scene
♥️
I also think the callbacks to the previous movies would've work better had Connery remained to portray Bond. I mean, they are callbacks to his movies.
I doubt they would’ve made those callbacks if it was Connery in this movie. They’re ere probably there to try and remind the audience that this was the very same Bond
Conventional wisdom dictates that Connery would have been a better fit but I doubt it. He was sick of the role in You Only Live Twice so I doubt he would have turned in a fine performance in this film. Also, he never would have exhibited the emotional vulnerability Lazenby did.
Ricardo Cantoral your right and Connery later said he wished he could have done On Her Majesty’s Secret Service instead of You Only Live Twice.
@@EditedAF987 Maybe they would’ve made those callbacks with Connery, to show that is a different movie.
@@ricardocantoral7672 About he was sick of the role, this may work in favor of the film. An agent tired of his job, finds happiness in love and marriage. Bond here is a mature man with experience, like the actors in the other roles. Doesn't need to exhibited Lazenby's emotional vulnerability. Connery and Rigg would be like him and Bardot in ''Shalako''.
How many times has 007 resigned?
Practically every Craig movie he's resigned or gone rogue or fakrd his death. Gets tiring....
No one talking about how gorgeous his suit case is
the best movie of the whole saga.
Personally I don't think so but, alot of people will agree with you.
It may not be my favourite but this is a very good choice for a favourite. One of the best in the series.
@@trueblue6201 I feel the same way.
My third favorite Bond film.
This is in my top 5, along with You only live twice, Casino Royale, Goldfinger, Skyfall....
I refuse to believe this guy was only 29 in this movie.....
😮
He was going to be in a spy movie with Bruce Lee. But Bruce Lee died and no movie was made!😞
I would bet a few weeks later, Moneypenny expected a quip about him probably immediately taking his job back only to get absolutely no reply, just to make her worry *even more.*
Bond also has the gold sovereigns from From Russia and the file from Thunderball
007 ✔ bond james bond
Resign and do what, James? Get a paper round?
What happen if Spielberg direct a 007 film?
Sorry ma’am
It is a little different now that her Majesty has passed.
Craig bland Bond movies ruined the chronology of the existence of James Bond as a person. It only shows that there is only one James Bond from Connery years continuing to Lazenby (as shown in this scene) and up to Moore (Pre credit title of FYEO), Dalton (License to Kill mentioning the death of his wife) and Brosnan (TWINE).
The Craig movies were always called a reboot, they never claimed to share a timeline with the others.
@@Gildedowlmedia338 Yet Skyfall to my mind actually fits better in the classic timeline than the reboot timeline.
0:50 is that the references to the previous movies?
I think 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is one of the best 'Bond' movies. But Lazenby's charm just never seemed to work. He was just bland.
His inexperience as an actor didn’t help as never made a film before when played Bond and he later said he never received any acting tips on how to do the role but producers and director didn’t like Lazenby and found him overly cocky and difficult to work with.
🤡
Since I saw George with that vest, I always wanted to dress like that
This scene never worked for me. In the novel Bond is older, rather jaded and considering retiring much earlier in the story. It's not quite the same when presented as a relatively minor spat between Bond and M. Perhaps if Timothy Dalton had done this scene he'd have been able to inject a sense of Bond's frustration into the performance and sell it, but it's just not in Lazenby's range unfortunately. For the record, I think Lazenby has a lot of good moments in this film, and it's very good for his first acting job, but he comes off as wooden at times and this is a good example.
Good afternoon viewers 👈🏾
I've been sitting on this for a few days. It's self explanatory 😷
I think the items Bond pulls out of his draw are actually code items for other appliances.
Could you elaborate? Don't quite understand what you're getting at?
Connery best bond ever !
Wrong movie.
'Sorry, ma'am.'
Who here saw the documentary of George Lazenby, Becoming Bond?
I recommend everybody to see it.
Also see this documentry: ruclips.net/video/pNPGAqbh7vc/видео.html
@@tijnonline6807 have you saw Becoming Bond? I'll check out a bit later but thank you.
@@greatwuta Seen that one too, fantastic :-)
@@tijnonline6807 thanks for the link. Its crazy how George and Peter Hunt had almost 2 different stories, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed Becoming Bond because I know I did.
Can anyone rate his British accent . I believe he is Australian
One of the best Bond movies, easily in the top 5. I think Lazenby was much better than Moore. Well, Moore could've been great, if his Bond movies werent so over the top ridiculous.
Sorry maam
M
I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect.
Sincerely,
James Bond
#CasinoRoyale ♥️
OO7 Secret service
1:12 Sorry, Ma‘am? What does he mean when saying that??
Davider I think it’s drinking in Front of a picture of the queen. In those days that could have been considered disrespectful
And Bond being Bond, drank anyway 😂
Davider 1:11 I think Bond means that he's sorry for resigning - remember, it was _Her Majesty's_ Secret Service.
eating sugar no papa every era seems idiotic compared to future eras
eating sugar no papa I’m not saying that I would do it. I’m saying that’s why he did it
Hit like if you are a fan of Sir Roger Moore 😎✌️
january 07 1970
Never saw him as Bond or this as a Bond movie. It has always just seemed like a spy movie that is Bond-esque. Glad Lazenby only did the one.
Technically: Tried, but failed.
0:25
audio is muddy and loses charisma due to over dubbing of Lazenby's voice ?

New theory.
James has been keeping equipment from operations m, skimming money from accounts and having a fleet of cars repaired secretly by the scientists from spectre that he lets live, all to enact a final assault against an as of yet revealed villain.
Seeing George Lazenby as James Bond i have to think 5x that he's not fit for playing James Bond.
OHMSS is a great film. I ranked this my 10th best 007 film. George Lazenby to me is the worst James Bond officially.
This movie literally created huge fantasy of marrying this Beautiful and Gorgeous 💖 Bond girl in my mind. This movie created dreams of marrying her in my mind a lot. This movie shouldn't have been made. I wish I had never watched this movie. These movies in the name of Entertainment, only and only created huge fantasies about Gorgeous 💖 and Beautiful Girls in viewers mind. No one has taken objection on this.
Que bond más chafa. Qué bien que me perdí este bodrio.
Lazenby can’t even pronounce “Ma’am” correctly. If Broccoli and Saltzman absolutely had to cast an Australian with zero acting experience, at least they could have got a half-decent dialect coach for him.
Nonsense!
Worst Bond actor in the Franchise?
Not as bad as Tom Holland in Spiderman.
@@Deanhughes5707 Dude Tom Holland is a great Spider-Man.
Yes, but in fairness he wasn't an actor prior to this film, just a Male model, who was a huge Bond fan and wanted the part. He lied his way into the role, in a way only Bond could have done, and he will always have my respect for that!
Not as bad as George Clooney as Batman.
Sean Connery was my favourite though perfect balance of toughness and humour.
worst bond in history and worst bond movie ever made
Bad Bond, but not a bad bond movie, Moonraker, Die Another Day are both worse. A view to a kill and Diamonds are forever are probably worse too.
