Epic Bond at it's best.... George made a very good 007. As a lifelong fan THIS is my favourite.... hard to believe that George Lazenby was only 29 in this
Such a breathtakingly beautiful scene, with a legendary score added to it. Helped to make the scene two times better than it originally was. OHMSS really was a masterpiece.
That is Switzerland 🇨🇭 for you known for the scenery and is beautiful country. I don't know if the clinic deals with medical allergies. I have allergy to gabapentin.
I think it's the fact that the story is unhurried, but still has momentum. Modern movies either aren't willing, or fear audiences will get restless, if they take their time telling a story and establishing characters.
Omg It’s the exact same scene That got fixed in my mind since I first watched this movie. The Alps, people skiing, the music. I loved it and I still do.
Arguably barry's most beautiful score in the whole bond franchise. Breathtaking! I have the soundtrack but sadly so much is not on the original soundtrack. Would love to have the full version of this majestic score.
Actually you can get the expanded score - that has about twice as much music as the original release and has been remastered. It is truly amazing, especially over headphones.
Taking the gondola up to Piz Gloria nowadays, still feels a bit like this movie scene. Especially if you are afraid of heights - the gondola is really moving very high above the ground (some hundred meters). The amazing thing is that more or less the whole setting is still exactly as in 1968, when the movie was shot. However, unfortunately the original infracture of the gondola will be replaced with a modern one in the upcoming years in order to increase tourist capacities....
One of the best. If you haven't seen it already, skip these short sequences, it spoils the whole film and it is a masterpiece. Maybe the best Bond film ever.
Even though Lazenby is not considered the best Bond, I do think OHMSS is one of the greater films. I also think if Lazenby had stuck around to do more Bond films (especially as he'd been offered a 7 film contract), his performance as Bond may have gotten better through each film. He might have even gone on to become one of the greater Bond actors. But unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. Oh, and can you imagine how it would've looked if Connery had done OHMSS and his voice been dubbed by George Baker for these scenes?
We can only imagine Sean in OHMSS! In my opinion, it would be the second best film in the entire series, second only to Goldfinger. Sean would have enjoyed a great script and Bond would be full dimensional and human.
@@dennisbaker1002 For most of my life I didn't question the way Goldfinger is often held up as the best Bond. These days though I wonder at it. True much of the first half of the movie is pure magic, but the last half is really pretty weak.
@Andrew Chapman You may be right, but this fantasy scenario requires an addition beyond fate or happenstance: that Lazenby wanted the job and was willing to work at the role.
Connery is the best 007 of all but I don't agree - what makes OHMSS so different is exactly the fact Connery isn't 007. The film would have had a totally different vibe with Connery in the role. Lazenby makes Bond human and vulnerable which is a successful element of OHMSS in my opinion. That wouldn't have worked with Connery. And as much as I love Connery as 007, he'd lost interest after Goldfinger and began to sleepwalk through most of his performances as Bond.
@@hugodrax71 I don't think fans of Connery wanted to see this side of Bond from his portrayal... although I think Sean played vulnerability amazingly well in films like The Hill.
I endore this movie so much, the setting and the mood is just perfect, as well as the movie.... but i know this area very well, and so i couldn´t overlook a lil mistake, at 0:38 they are flying the wrong way! They should be headin west from lauterbrunnen to Piz Gloria, but they are heading north, on the left cliff you can see mürren which should be right to the helicopter according to the movie, and way in front of the valley you can see wengen on the right hillside....
I’ll be glad to get my feet on the ground, not ground, ice because the helicopter flight trip is very cool because I’ve watched this movie back in the 80s with one of my uncles and one of his sons during the time when ABC used to always air all of these James Bond movies every Sunday nightand it will stay on until 1130 at night.
I always wondered why Blofeld didn't recognise Bond immediately, or why 007 imagined he could pass himself off as Bray in the first place. They'd already met face to face in Blofeld's 'secret' volcano lair. Mind you they did have different faces.
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002I think that would complicate it a little too much and it wouldn’t really be convincing. They should have had Lazenby with a moustache or something if they really wanted to make him look a little different, I’m sure he would have obliged, he did turn up with a beard to the premiere after all 😂 It’s a definite flaw of the film, but one that came from the filmmakers being so intent on making a book accurate adaptation, when in fact Majesty’s came first in the novel continuity before You Only Live Twice.
big Barry fan, this is one of my fav short cues of any of his scores. I went to Interlaken mainly to visit Piz Gloria, and it was okay, has a large viewing platform. Food was a big dissapointment, overpriced and the "007" burgers meh. However anyone going I recommend the cliff walk 2 stops down, that was a mind blowing experience. Only visiting the Grand Canyon had I ever had such a similar feeling of vastness and scope.
I’m conflicted bc I liked lazenby but if he stayed and did “Diamonds are Forever”, not sure if it would’ve succeeded bc Connery was awesome in diamonds. Sometimes it’s hard to picture a different actor in a film already made.
Airsickness? 00 Agents are not supposed to feel airsickness -- they are required to train in parachuting and air assault tactics, and beginning in 1960 they are also required to get pilot training!
agentorange153 Bond is undercover as Sir Hilary Bray as trying to infiltrate Blofeld’s facility. He was showing emotions and air sickness to avoid blowing his cover and using an accent
I know she was a Battleaxe and a great Bond villain but I though Frau Bundt was played really well by Illse Steppat ( sorry if spelling is wrong ) . Unfortunately this actress died not long after the film was released .
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.

yes , he is undercover as an expert from the College of Arms who probably isnt used to flying in helicopters to meet megalomaniacs in their HQ at the top of a mountain .
Always preferred You Only Live Twice as my all time favourite Bond movie but every time I see OHMS I change my mind! George Lazenby could easily have made several more successful Bond outings had he not listened to his Manager at the time and cooperated, collaborated even,more with Broccoli and Saltzman. Such a waste.

Swiss alps, bio terrorism, Spectre, romance, spy work, undercover. One of the best Bonds ever.
O.H.M.S.S probably one of the best Bonds ever-at last getting the recognition it deserves.
Ilse Steppat died in Dec. 69. A few days after the presentation of the movie in the german cinemas. She was fantastic in her role as Irma Bunt. 👌🏻
That’s right, this happens to be her only English-speaking film.
@@StephenLuke 😢 gone too soon 😢
@@frankdenardo8684She was 52.
OHMSS is in a class of its own...finally getting the recognition it should have had a long time ago
OHMSS was released in 1969.
53 years ago. So wonderful to be able to watch it again.
Wonderful incidental music by Barry, he never failed to deliver.
The most Beautiful Bond movie...Cast,story,locations,music,...perfect Christmas viewing!
All that's missing is imagining the charisma of Sean as 007, Lazenby has no presence at all!
@@dennisbaker1002 matter of opinion Subjective.To be honest I thought Lazenby more intelligent than Connery and very sixties
John Barry's magnificent music really adds to this.
OHMSS was a masterpiece.
Marvel Fan Is*
You can see how much it inspired Casino Royale.
Would love this film to get a cinematic re release over a Christmas period. Bloody amazing film.
Yes Christmas time post card perfect settings.
Such a breathtakingly beautiful scene, with a legendary score added to it. Helped to make the scene two times better than it originally was.

That is Switzerland 🇨🇭 for you known for the scenery and is beautiful country.
I don't know if the clinic deals with medical allergies. I have allergy to gabapentin.
Probably the best score of the Bonds and any movie for that matter
It doesn't get much better than John Barry.
Got the theme song on my running playlist. It's absolutely epic.
You only live twice comes close. John Barry untouchable
@@Northern-Light I agree , although his music in Mooraker when Bond went into space is fantastic .
moonraker
Beautiful scenery and outstanding back ground music. They should of won for musical score.
In the scene, you feel like you're embarking on a grand adventure. Modern Bonds lack this feeling
Agree - definitely something the modern Bond films lack.
I think it's the fact that the story is unhurried, but still has momentum. Modern movies either aren't willing, or fear audiences will get restless, if they take their time telling a story and establishing characters.
@@CaminoAir I really miss when Bond films let the scenery breathe, let Bond get accustomed to the locals, sweep his hotel for bugs etc.
This is absolute class can watch this every day and i do
Been there, seen it..... spectacular... must have seemed totally awesome when it was first shown on the big screen...
One of the best Bonds especially visually and a wonderful Barry soundtrack
Omg It’s the exact same scene That got fixed in my mind since I first watched this movie. The Alps, people skiing, the music. I loved it and I still do.

@@jondellar thank you, hopefully I will find it.
the best, i've watched this one more than the others.
Shilthorne (Piz Gloria) and the Lauterbrunnen Valley are so stunningly beautiful.
Piz Gloria is actually now a really popular tourists attraction and is advertising for Bond fans
The most beautuful 007-film. But I love them all
Me too -- I love all of the James Bond films, except for the piece of absolute garbage called "Die Another Day"!
No matter what he wears George Lazenby looks cool !
It's not fair....!!! And he even looked good in a kilt ..

Those gondolas are built in Italy 🇮🇹, Germany 🇩🇪, Switzerland 🇨🇭, Austria 🇦🇹, France 🇫🇷.
During that time the ice was very thick. Amazing scenery during that time.
One of the best. If you haven't seen it already, skip these short sequences, it spoils the whole film and it is a masterpiece. Maybe the best Bond film ever.

@@AndSendMe true. And in the second half, Bond is irrelevant to the plot. All he does its get captured over and over again and observe things.
Going here in a few days, can't wait !
Interesting how the chopper landing pad was square back then but now it's round/octagonal and much larger.
the best Bond by a mile...it's in a league of its own
Connery as Bond would have elevated it more!

May be the best BOND movie
The best bond and movie
That’s the same helicopter that appears in “For Your Eyes Only.” But of course, it’s Blowfeld’s aircraft.
Good spot. Never even put two and two together. Makes the OHMSS connection in that film even stronger!
Excellence!

James Bond was a Commander in the Royal Navy. His rank is about in line with a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army.
