@@kbrich-nn8od I actually think that George made a great Bond, I reckon had he had the foresight to go on with the role he would of been very popular, probably just as much as Connery was.
This is the only Bond movie of my youth that holds up, and it is all because of Diana Rigg. As a 12 year old, I enjoyed the cartoonish nature of Bond movies. Thought this was what sophisticated adult entertainment was like, but looking back, they were ALL pretty corny.
Best Bond theme and best Bond film by far. Great story, great characters, great locations and with the most unexpected ending - It’s like a punch to the solar plexus and I dare you not to weep!
Agree to disagree. The Soundtrack is indeed epic and one of the best, but the film falls flat. Connery and Dalton were much better as Bond and their films were much better.
@@stevenklein3195 Connery was grounded breaking and established the role, although he clearly wanted to move on. Dalton looked the part and was a talented actor, but the scripts let him down. I thought Lazenby looked the part and gave an acceptable performance. His lack of acting talent though was more than made up for by the supporting cast from Diane Rigg and Telly Savalas through to Ilse Steppat. I thought the story was also good as there was not only all the usual action in then exotic places, largely minus the gadgets, through to the full relationship between Bond and Tracy. And of course the ending. I would still put OHMSS as the best Bond film and Lazenby as the third best behind Connery and Dalton.
I really like this orchestra. They play many of our favourite modern classics but don't mess about with them. They produce a sound very much like that which we all first heard, often at the cinema.
I got goosebumps when they used this music in the promo reel for The Incredibles. I hoped they would have used it in the actual movie, but they didn't.
One of the best Bond themes; unfortunately the movie is often overlooked and underrated simply because it starred George Lazenby, who left the series after the single film. Also it skews more towards realism like the Bond novels - 007 is not an indestructible superhero in the film like in so many others. He's very cool-headed and resourceful, to be sure, but also very human. He makes mistakes, he doesn't always know what to do, and at one point in the story is very genuinely afraid for his life. If the film had been made with Connery after "Goldfinger" (which was the original plan) it could have been absolutely stunning.
I was with you up until your Connery comment. As much as I love Connery’s Bond, I don’t think he could have pulled off the emotional, vulnerable side that Lazenby gave it. By the end of Goldfinger he’d already become a superhero. OHMSS is the ‘perfect storm’ of the series for me; The right actor, the right end of the 60s, the location, the casting, the script, Peter Hunt... We’re lucky to have such an oddity in the midst of such a hit and miss series.
I certainly think he did a very competent job in an unenviable situation - but career-wise he was a fool to himself. The film was well up to the mark of other Bond productions, with some really impressive episodes along the way.
@@songsmith31a It's a shame he didn't do more than just this one. I felt he brought some realism to the role. As another described he was vunerable and didn't always know what to do. Timothy Dalton also did a good job to bring back the darker side of Bond. To show how ruthless he really could be and to show he took friendship seriously. Moore was too campy at time and he held on for one movie too long. Brosnan was a good mix of seriouness and comedy. Craig was more like Dalton in the darkness and true nature of the character. Connery was a mix of all of these, he was ruthless yet had a comical side when appropriate.
@@kennethboyer2338 Lazenby was given a golden chance to assume the mantle of 007 but he blew it due to his reported arrogant attitude and behaviour. He went from being an advertising model (Mr Fry?) to the lynchpin of a great film franchise but somehow managed to screw it up by his antics when he could have carried on and made the role his own. What a shame for him (and us) thinking what he could have done with the role after an impressive (despite the critical bashing) debut in OHMSS.
They had to pay Connery a small fortune to come back and play Bond in Diamonds are Forever. People didn't like the tragic ending of On Her Magistee's Secret Service ended.
Probably the most underrated movie from Bond... And the settings at Portugal and Switzerland are as stunning as the soundtrack... A small homage to Louis Armstrong, also in this soundtrack in his last ever recording 😎👍🏾
I cant tell you how much I love this song. First James Bond song I learnt on the violin and duetting it with my teacher on the piano really ignited a passion for music in me. RIP John Barry, a musical genius.
The Danish National Orchestra is absolutely awesome! The spaghetti western songs they do are off the charts perfection. Merricone and Clint Eastwood would definitely approve.
George Lazeby The man that made james bond a vulnerable human. Despite the wooden acting, he was truly a Bond That was genuine. Even tracy made him stronger. On her majesty's secret service will always be the greatest and last bond film ever made that had some substance.
George himself came up with that line. When the fight started on the sand but wound up in the water, ice cold water, George said to the director, " Did the other fella have to do this also?" So it was kept in.
Funny how one of the least known Bond movies has one of the best and iconic music for all of the Bond movies. I still rank Living Daylights in the top three of Bond music too.
Indeed. Living Daylights was his last Bond movie but he definitely carried it over into the soundtrack for Stallones "The Specialist". Is on TH-cam so check it out and get back to me 👍
I have watched this film so many times . Love it my favorite movie and the music is far the best of all the bond movies George was good . The problem was he had to follow the great connery. John barry best score
IMHO this is the most beautiful theme song of any James Bond movie. It also happens to be the theme song for my favorite 007 film. I had a HUGE crush on Diana Rigg when she starred in "The Avengers," and she was absolutely stunning in "OHMSS." I cried my eyes out when she was killed in the end. But my favorite part of the movie was in the beginning when the girl that Bond has just saves runs away from him instead of falling into his arms. George Lazenby breaks theatrical protocol by looking into the camera and then says, "This never happened to the other fellow!"
It’s up there, definitely. I always laugh though when I see “Additional Dialogue by Simon Raven” appearing *before* the credit for Maibaum. Who did Raven know, excellent novelist that he was?
@@Robertjim7669 Thank God it was Lazenby instead of Connery in “OHMSS”! In the previous film Connery was bored and dull. In the succeeding film he was twenty pounds overweight, and might have passed for Lazenby’s father!
My first Bond film, and it affected my view of all the others, before and after. For me it's the best, no question, and the music blew me away even though I was only seven when I saw it.
Great movie and soundtrack. Possibly the best Bond flick of them all. Had Lazenby not blown this chance with his attitude, he could have done many more.
@@danlugo4365 Lazenbied should have become a catchphrase like "Munsoned" in the movie Kingpin. "I hope I don't get Lazenbied out here in the middle of nowhere."
Loved it and loved the movie. I loved the sequence in the movie that starts Bond's escape from Piz Gloria and ends with Bond and Tracy spending the night in the barn.
They it builds this air of gradure, its service to her majesty and you know your mission, this feels like a soundtrack from a spy game rather than a spy movie. Brilliant performance from all the musicians involved.
This is an excellent rendition by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra of the magnificent Main Title Theme music from "OHMSS" (1969)! Of course, John Barry's original can never be equalled!
One of the ignored British giants of music John Barry not just the bond films but numerous others in the end he went to live in the United States and all he got was an OBE
This has to be, one of the best Bond themes. I love the way it builds.
Yes this is my favorite as well, and probably in my top favorite 3 bond movies.
Very underrated Bond theme that doesn't get as much love because it's from the George Lazenby movie'/!!!
@@kbrich-nn8od I actually think that George made a great Bond, I reckon had he had the foresight to go on with the role he would of been very popular, probably just as much as Connery was.
@@kbrich-nn8od And yet, as a piece of music, it builds so well 👌
It's also the best bond movie
RIP Diana Rigg. A most beautiful lady.
There have been many Bond girls, but only one Mrs. James Bond.
Yeah she was beautiful
This is the only Bond movie of my youth that holds up, and it is all because of Diana Rigg. As a 12 year old, I enjoyed the cartoonish nature of Bond movies. Thought this was what sophisticated adult entertainment was like, but looking back, they were ALL pretty corny.
So so right 👌
Always had crush on Diana Rigg.
John Barry was a genius.
OHMSS was quite possibly his best Bond soundtrack, and the film is easily one of the best in the series.
TRUTH. RIP Maestro.
A musical genius, to be precise
@@marksieve7734 one of the worst u shud say. Sound is the best part, and Rigg
@@marksieve7734 The best, and the most faithful to the Fleming novel. Criminally underrated.
Best Bond theme and best Bond film by far. Great story, great characters, great locations and with the most unexpected ending - It’s like a punch to the solar plexus and I dare you not to weep!
Completely agree.
Agree to disagree. The Soundtrack is indeed epic and one of the best, but the film falls flat. Connery and Dalton were much better as Bond and their films were much better.
and how BOND replied,., we have all the time in the world....

The Ski Chase in OHMSS was incredibly epic. One of the best parts of the Film. Music just makes it BETTER.
Never gets old. Never gets stale. Always fresh, involving and exciting, no matter who performs it. Just a masterclass constructed piece of music.
I really like this orchestra. They play many of our favourite modern classics but don't mess about with them. They produce a sound very much like that which we all first heard, often at the cinema.
This comment is way underrated
Their Morricone performances are as fun to watch as they are to listen to.
Goosebumps 100% - John Barry is a legend. This performance is perfect.
On her majesty's secret service is my favourite Bond film
Ditto.
mine too
Underrated for sure
ja meiner auch
Put this on your headphones while skiing down any mountain and you’ll feel like a spy instantly.
I literally do this every time I go skiing, feels so epic
I’ve done it. Nearly killed myself. Loved it.
I've done it while skiing among trees when I was young. Epic
Actually, this one is on my running list...usually the first or second...
@Cory Hudson I didn't know blow-up dolls used Instagram
Who else got goosebumps when this theme played in No Time to Die? Hans Zimmer did a great job bringing back this tune!
It was a wonderful moment to hear this in the film. Shame they cocked up the ending 😳
@@Mikep54044 Sounded fine to me.
I did. And I literally came to the comments of this TH-cam clip to see if other people had the same thing...
I got goosebumps when they used this music in the promo reel for The Incredibles. I hoped they would have used it in the actual movie, but they didn't.
@@jondonnelly3 I think he meant of the film.... and I agree after the really pretty good first 30 mins the film got worse and worse.
Along with "CASINO ROYALE" this is the by far the Best Story line of any Bond Movie....and music wise second to none...🙏
King of the Bond soundtracks indeed. Moonraker next.

Our thoughts for Tracy and Diana.

Probably the best Bond theme. Just like listening to the soundtrack. Flawlessly played
I love the panning shots of the conductor just lying there!
George Lazenby did a fantastic job playing Bond!!! One of my absolute favorite!

Very good performance.
The soundtrack of this movie is one of the best in Bond world.
Agreed!
It is! I love the story too. Too bad the film itself isn't the best of Bond series.
@@TheyTalkOnline Agreed as well LOL
@MusicMadMaurice It isn't, Moonraker and Quantum of Solace are far worse.
Agreed!
I am a fan of 007 movies and OHMSS is my favorite because of many things. This theme is one of them.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a fine Bond film and has one of the best soundtracks.
Probably the most underrated movie from Bond... And the settings at Portugal and Switzerland are as stunning as the soundtrack... A small homage to Louis Armstrong, also in this soundtrack in his last ever recording 😎👍🏾
Do Mara Jade’s theme next.
One of the best bond soundtracks ever.
One of the best music...the best bond music for the best bond movie.
I cant tell you how much I love this song. First James Bond song I learnt on the violin and duetting it with my teacher on the piano really ignited a passion for music in me. RIP John Barry, a musical genius.
The thing with this music is, even if you've never seen OHMSS (and you really should), you'd know it's a Bond theme.
Yes, because of the brass instruments and the overall cocky, confident and adventurous tone to it.
Paul Riet Yes. This was a Bond film that didn’t have a written theme song, but instead hd this variation on the main Bond theme.
Not the best Bond film but one of my favorites.
It’s got John Barry all over it.
Exactly!
Sends a shiver down my spine, this. Barry using the Moog was a masterstroke.
This is the coolest Bond Theme
Yeah this is pretty cool but I prefer Casino Royal
Now who can argue with that?
@@judgeberry6071 Jack Gardner
lol rhetorical
@@jackgardner8726 That's more of a song. This really feels like an a theme, the atmosphere is so great.
Absolutely nailed it. John Barry would have been proud. I salute the orchestra and conductor. Excellent
One of my favorite Bond movies and score, the arrangement makes the hair on my arms, stand up.
The Danish National Orchestra is absolutely awesome! The spaghetti western songs they do are off the charts perfection. Merricone and Clint Eastwood would definitely approve.
George Lazeby The man that made james bond a vulnerable human. Despite the wooden acting, he was truly a Bond That was genuine. Even tracy made him stronger. On her majesty's secret service will always be the greatest and last bond film ever made that had some substance.
This orchestra are superb, and have really captured th spirit of this music.
An excellent rendition.
Holy crap....best Bond theme of all time, by the awesome Danish National Symphony!!! BRAVO!!!!
One of my favorite "Bond" themes. Bravo!
"This never happened to the other fella..."
George himself came up with that line. When the fight started on the sand but wound up in the water, ice cold water, George said to the director, " Did the other fella have to do this also?" So it was kept in.
And it never will either... Rest in Peace, Sir Sean Connery
He had a lot of guts.
We have all the time in the world. Signature tune of James Bond wife is what this film is remembered for.
George Lazenby...an absolute legend...and one of the best Bonds of the lot.
Funny how one of the least known Bond movies has one of the best and iconic music for all of the Bond movies. I still rank Living Daylights in the top three of Bond music too.
👍
I agree 100%.
Living Daylights was John Barry's last Bond movie.
Indeed. Living Daylights was his last Bond movie but he definitely carried it over into the soundtrack for Stallones "The Specialist". Is on TH-cam so check it out and get back to me 👍
On Her Majesty's Secret Service also include the glorious ' We Have All The Time In the World' by Louis Armstrong.
An under-rated film at every level.
Superb piece of music. John Barry did Bond like no other. This is so of the time and perfectly formed.
I think it’s the best soundtrack of any bond movies, love it 😊
The best James Bond movie.
Just imagine that Connery could have been in it. Then it would have been my absolute favorite Bond movie.
From possiibly one of the best Bond movies IMHO. John Barry was just brilliant!
One of the best theme songs to one of the best Bond movies.
One of the better Gond film's that does not get a lot of recognition.
I have watched this film so many times . Love it my favorite movie and the music is far the best of all the bond movies
George was good . The problem was he had to follow the great connery. John barry best score
The best theme ever of the best Bond movie ever
I love this song, must be the best of the entire saga. Have the mistery, the power and the coolness of our favorite secret agent

It’s up there, definitely. I always laugh though when I see “Additional Dialogue by Simon Raven” appearing *before* the credit for Maibaum. Who did Raven know, excellent novelist that he was?
John Barry's best Bond soundtrack. These guys did a excellent job at the song
one of my Top favourites of James Bond music
Simply amazing. The best Bond score and one of the best movie scores in the world.
This has to be the finest version of the finest Bond theme I have ever heard.
One of the theme songs from the Bond movie that I really love
John Barry is greatly missed!
Takes me back forty five years and I'll never forget it
Hmss was like 40 years ahead of its time , one of the best bond movies ever made and lazenby was solid as bond
Is there anything the Danish National Symphony Orchestra can't do????? Perfection.
Best Bond theme ever - no doubt about it ...

Something about this music. I have listened to this forever. And even the remixes. ❤

The genius of John Barry. Best composer of Bond soundtracks
My favorite Bond… Always.. Love that Bond met his match with Tracey( Diana Rigg)
Excellent! So much better to hear a live orchestra play this classic John Barry theme.
Undoubtedly the best Bond film ever. Cheers from Canada ❤😊

Love it, one of John Barry's most Bondian scores. Always an awesome theme.
Someone please take over now and take these chains off my heart. I cannot be loyal anymore
For me the best theme from 007, it realy can capture the essence of the series...
John Barry was amazing. This was the first movie soundtrack to use a synthesizer in an actual score.
The overall tone of all the brass instruments is impeccable - just brilliant)
Came here as soon as I've heard the Queen pass. May you rest in peace, Your Majesty.
What a genius John Barry was.

Favorite Bond theme/score. Brilliant
An awesome piece which has and will forever haunt me in the most delightful way.
I love this Bond film. Sucha a dark horse in Bond history but a great movie played excellently by George Lazenby.
One of the best bond film and also one of the best bond theme. Also in the same movie... we have all the time in the world .... !!
This is my favorite Bond theme, and my favorite Bond movie.
The best Bond Soundtrack
