This is THE BEST James Bond film. I'd also suggest that OHMSS is perhaps also perhaps the best Ian Fleming James Bond book, but that's a discussion for another day.
As an action-packed non-stop film it has everything you'd want. Multiple locations. Great performances from great actors. Yes, even Lazenby, who picks up from a worn-out Sean Connery and shows all the other actors who subsequently picked up the role how to do it. All those subsequent actors were too old, just plain miscast or had to work with inadequate scripts/ colleagues/ budgets/ etc.
And of course we have the most complex and satisfying Bond girl role brought to life by the highly accomplished Diana Rigg, just ex of The Avengers at this point. And all the other stunning actresses in full 1969 big hair fur coat Dolly Girl mode.
The cinematography just gets better every time someone digitally enhances it and the scenery, ahhh...
I could go on. I am SUCH a fan of this film. Thanks so much for flagging it up!

Another brilliant article, Luke. As well as We Have All The Time In The World, OHMSS also has a phenomenal film score!!!
