On Her Majesty's Secret Service

One of my favourite films, Blofeld and Tracy are excellent characters and unfortunately outshine George, either he was not up to the job on an emotional level as an actor or he was a victim of poor directing.
The directing and cinematography is a bit short in places, and some dialogue feels bizarre and poorly written.
That said, I love the narrative, love the attempt to show a different side to the man and to borrow a phrase - "your kids are going to love it" , would recommend this film as it lays the foundation for the modern 90s and 2000s Bond that we got (in places)
