This video essay looks at On Her Majesty's Secret Service as the culmination of 60s Bond, expanding the aesthetics and action filmmaking of the series, while simultaneously bringing the character to a point in which he'd never fully return. At once an analysis of Bond's history and a love letter to a great movie.
