This is arguably the very best Bond film ever made! The cast was perfect. Lazenby did a splendid job, especially for his first full-fledged acting job! And Diana Rigg was, of course, stunningly perfect as Tracy! And Telly Savalas made a very good Blofeld (better than Don Pleasance's milqtoast version--no slight to Pleasance as an actor intended, mind you!). And John Barry's score--one of his best--is also, of course, superb! Bravo!

Despite featuring the lone one-time Bond actor (George Lazenby), this is easily one of the Top 5 best of the franchise, with John Barry's best score, and some truly top-notch action scenes. And plus, Lazenby is a much better Bond than people give him credit for. He could have easily made the role his own had he stuck around for more than just one.

Now that is what a James Bond theme should sound like!

all theme is exellent

[jason78969]

The theme works wonderfully well with the ski chase, gradually gaining momentum as the pace of the action quickens. Is a clip of said ski chase on this site now tho? It was a while ago but unable to find now.

The best Bond theme ever made period!

@mikekoukis I agree, Sean Connery was brilliant at playing Sean Connery.

[mikekoukis]

@DBZ5371 I believe that there wa a reason that George Lazenby made only one James Bond movie. He simply sucked as James Bond. I believe Sean Connery was by far the best James Bond.

@mikekoukis yeah bring on Roger Moore so we can have a real laugh.

Worst james bond ever but great theme

[bsj71]

R.I.P. composer John Barry. This theme (and score) may be the best Bond score he ever did.

[Jonnywiseguy]
