First off, how many people, including Bond fans, know about, or have ever heard of this film? I'm a big Bond fan, but until several months ago, I had never heard of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. My Dad had never heard of it either, and he was a Bond fan when the film came out in 1969. This film had also made the least amount of money in the box office, so it is really no surprise to me that it is not all that popular. George Lazenby played Bond once, and only once. It is also the only Bond in which James settles down with one woman and marries her. Now some of you may be saying what about Casino Royale, but that is not true. Casino Royale is meant to be the prequel to all the Bond films, so his career had not truly started. Also, Vesper Lynd, the woman Bond fell in love with in Casino Royale betrayed Bond and was not really in love with him. When talking to M in the movie after she died, M asked if he was OK, and Bond's response was "The money is in and the bitch is dead." Thus proving him not to be in love. Ultimately, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is probably the least favorite of the Bond movies, and Lazenby is the least favorite and least popular of the Bonds.
