    On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) was intended to feel as familiar
    as possible, even though it's the first replacement actor for Sean
    Connery. John Barry takes all the famiiar themes and chord changes he's
    been using since Dr. No and comes up with an all new take. For once,
    producers don't insist that the title be sung as a lyric in the nain
    title theme, so we get an instrumental main title that's just wonderful.
    And a famus soung, "All the Time in the World" illustrating the love
    story of Bond and Tracy that will be Louis Armtrong's final professional engagement

    The main title theme is at 5:00.

    Gone are the electric guitars, the electric piano imitating a
    harpsicord, no harp either

    And toward the end, he snuck in the capture of the capsule from You Only
    Live Twice.
