Blofeld getting branched off is quite hilarious in an otherwise tragic Bond film.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. The way Lazenby ran on the beach like a pànsy n his skirt made me laugh then.

This is the sixth in the Bond series n the only one of George Lazenby as James Bond. Here Bond faces Blofeld (Telly Savalas), who is planning a bacteriological warfare while residing n running a clinic/research institute on a mountain-top hideout in the Swiss Alps.

Along with Blofeld n his henchmen, Bond faces an avalanche, machine gun totting Irma Bunt and a tragic loss.

Bond gets to cool off with Diana Rigg, Angela Scoular n Catherine Von Schell. This film is notable for the lack of gadgets and for the tragic ending. The film is a bit gory, a guy chasing Bond skis into a snow blower.

Some info about Bunt from the book - in the movie series, Bond nevr gets a chance to kill Bunt as she was the person who shot Bond's wife and her fate never explained in the movie series but in the book, Bunt is assumed to have died in the conflagration when Bond destroys Blofeld's castle. In the book, Bond's wife is not shot by Bunt but by Blofeld.
