Great minds agreeing

Dan acknowledges that On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is not only underrated but perhaps the best Bond film of all, which is just what I said in my review, and points to Jaquandor’s series reviewing all 19 Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again, but not including Casino Royale), in which Jaquandor also names OHMSS the top 007. Why, you ask? This is something I had difficulty putting my finger on but he gets to the point: “Where so many Bond films a[re] faux-epics, mistaking huge sets and massive battles for grandeur, OHMSS gets it right by telling an epic story.”
