“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” turns 50

In 1969, the film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” took over the Schilthorn-Piz Gloria ski station, creating a so-called “Bond effect” that the region is still cashing in on today. Schilthorn threw a party to commemorate the film’s 50th anniversary—and we were there!

Imagine Lazenby had played in 3 or 5 Bond films. He would've been a gigantic star today!

Watched it this morning and I gotta say it’s the best one by far imo

[scubash]

I traveled to there to Lauterbrunnen Switzerland just to visit Schilthorn / Piz Gloria just because of my fascination for James Bond and the movie OHMSS !

[terrypaget]

Went there in 1970 just after the film was made..l was totally wrapped up in the movie..best bond theme ever..Lazenby should have made another!

O.H.M.S.S is far and away the best Bond movie ever!

[glynmatthews]

I went up there with my parents as a kid in’83 and the interior decor was still the same as in the movie, still the best Bond movie for me

This movie is the favorite Bond film of filmmaker Christopher Nolan. And it served as inspiration for some part of the plot of "Inception".

I have been to lots of places because they were in movies - and even filmed some of them - but nothing beats the Schilthorn!

[terrypaget]

Stayed in Lauterbrunnen in 2001 and snowboarded down from Piz Gloria in thick cloud as a Bond fan. Returned in 2019 with family and enjoyed Bond exhibition and all the local locations from OHMSS with my Bond fan children. Best film in account if story, scenery and music by far.

Ohmss is without a doubt bonds finest hour! Brilliant adaption of the book, George Lazenby was great as bond and deserves alot more credit than he received, for a retro blast from 1969 this film as it all, forgot the Moore era, Daltons stint was uneventful, brosnans was a travesty die another day is testimony to that, Daniel craig as brought bond back to life, oops and not forgetting grumpy old bastard connery then again let's.

I have to visit this place before I die

[carstenp.manske]

I visited all OHMSS movie locations and Schilthorn/Piz Gloria is for sure the most impressive ♡

[ivorbiggun]

One of my favourites. I've never quite known why Lazenby got so panned and I also think Savalas was great. Plus, Diana look so beautiful in it.

[davidcassin]

i visited lauterbrunne twice in the 1980s on a school trip and visited piz gloria it was brilliant to see it

[PAXPRESSAGENCY]

During my years in Hollywood (1989 til 2005) I met with George couple of time for brunch at the Universal Hilton daily all you can eat brunch. A gentlemen, smart, funny and ..arrogant .. ineed! But George is a great guy!

[printpainting]

Mr George Lazenby is the most handsome of all bond actors, surpassing even the late Mr Sean Connery. The ski chase is very realistic!

[barryfoster]

Yes wengen Switzerland many times because downhill racer filmed there, stayed same hotel they filmed at in wengen, hotel wengener Hoffman, fantastic

[speulmenneke]

Ohmss is one of the best Bond-movies imo. I hope to visit the Schilthorn in the near future. Two years ago I was on vacation in Solden (Austria) and had lunch in the Ice-Q restaurant on top of the Gaislachkogl (the Hoffler Klinik in 'Spectre') and visited 007-elements, an exhibition and cinematic installation built inside the summit of the Gaislachkogl Mountain.

Went to Kansas to see where the movie Picnic was filmed back in the 50s. Lovely little town with small stream and bridge. Kim Novak and William Holden iconic dance scene! Would love to visit Switzerland.
