George Lazenby
On Her Majesties Secret Service
The pre-title sequence shows Miss Moneypenny, M and Q discussing the whereabouts of Bond. In Portugal, he is driving on a coastal highway. Suddenly, from behind, a woman in a Mercury Cougar roars up and overtakes him. Soon, he encounters the same car parked at the roadside. Spotting the girl attempting suicide, Bond drives down to the shore, runs into the surf, and carries her from the sea. He brings her to consciousness and introduces himself. After a fight with two thugs, from which Bond emerges the victor, the girl takes Bond's car, drives it up the beach to her Cougar, jumps behind the wheel and speeds away. Right before the credits start Bond comments on his situation saying "this never happened to the other fellow."
Later, in a casino, Bond encounters the girl gambling. She places a bet she cannot pay, and, when she loses, he rescues her by paying it. The girl, Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo invites him to her room to thank him. When Bond later visits her room he finds nobody there, until a thug emerges behind Bond and brawls with him. After defeating him, Bond returns to his own room, finding Tracy there. After Tracy threatens to kill him for a thrill, Bond disarms Tracy, and questions her about the thug in her room. Tracy has nothing to say.
In the morning, she is gone. Later, as Bond leaves the hotel, several men kidnap him — including the thug from Tracy's room — and lead him at gunpoint to meet Marc-Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti) — the head of the Unione Corse, a large European crime syndicate. Bond recognizes Draco immediately. Click To Watch Trailer
