Part of Holiday Classics
“Merry Christmas, 007.” The sixth James Bond film was released on Dec 19, 1969, and stars George Lazenby in his only role as playboy British agent James Bond, who goes undercover to pursue the villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), hell-bent on a holiday plan to hold the world at ransom. A pivotal set piece has Bond escaping from Telly Savalas’ alpine hideout by extended ski chase, and hunted through a Swiss village’s Christmas festival. Another in the long line of Bond theme songs, “We Have All the Time in the World” performed by Louis Armstrong.
