On Her Majesty`s Secret Service in Greatest Tearjerkers poll

Channel 4 Film have released the results of a nationwide (UK) poll to find the 100 Greatest Tearjerkers. The moments that caused thousands to cry came from television and films spanning decades.

James Bond features in the poll at #41 with the climax to the 1969 film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

George Lazenby briefly stepped into 007's shoes for one of the best films in the series (the only one in which Bond gets married). Gambling all in a grudge match against Telly Savalas' Blofeld, who is threatening to unleash biological warfare, Bond's loyalties are torn between his country and the woman he loves (Diana Rigg). The scene in which 007 loses his wife, and the credits roll to the sound of 'All The Time In The World', is all the more moving for being one of the few times Bond seems truly vulnerable.
