Concluding an unofficial quadrilogy of James Bond videos made around No Time to Die's often delayed release, I look to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the once black sheep of the franchise that has slowly become arguably the most acclaimed of any 007 movie. 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.
