Connery was widely influential, but by the late 60's he grew tired of the role. Lazenby, the unknown comes in, and does the role very well for someone with no prior acting experience. He adds a more emphathetic human aspect to the role, making Bond tying the knot in this one all the more believable. His chemistry with Rigg's character was stiff, but good enough considering the problems they had on set.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service tones down the silliness, as well as the gadgets, and focuses on telling a story faithful to Fleming's novel of the same name. Savalas gives the role of Blofeld more physicality, making for well-shot ski chases. Between the action, the fight scenes, the fantastic score by John Barry and the iconic ending, this has stood the test of time as one of the better Bond films.
History vindicated this one.
