It's such a random moment that is superb, you would not get a scene like that in most movies.
My favourite action sequence in the film, and I love the chase leading up to it in the snow!
The 4K re maser seemed to have cleaned up the editing a bit, or maybe its my imagination. that scene is fantastic. Maybe it was just clearer?
Back in 2012 – in the run up to the 50th anniversary - Tim Brayton of the Alternative Endings website did a weekly review of all of the Bond films to date. About Diana Rigg he wrote:
I must acknowledge my bias first, or we'll never get anywhere: I really and truly think that Diana Rigg is the sexiest woman produced by the British Isles in the 20th Century.
…
Plus, she's so quick-witted, sexy, fun, and all such good things, that she's the only woman that James Bond has ever committed to emotionally. And Rigg, one of the best actresses to ever take on one of these parts, plays all of this with intelligence and a profound sense of personal amusement.

OHMSS has been my #1 Bond film for some years now, and I don't see that changing. GL is better than given credit for and the supporting cast is very strong. As for Diana Rigg, the above speaks for me as well.
I’m sure that I read somewhere when the films were remastered in the 2000s that they trawled through all the various versions to provide the most complete version possible. At the time, I remember lots of little extra bits of footage - a second here or there - often by the music seeming to flow better and be less jumpy
Although there is one brief scene in the helicopter attack that seems to be a rough cut, and not cleaned up.
Diana Rigg has everything, recently watched her in Evil Under The Sun and was a stand out for the limited screen time.
That makes sense I have a few format versions of the OHMSS like many of the earlier film's I have noticed tweaks, especially with TB the reedit on that was superb.
Thank You, Merry Christmas mate.
You as well!
'LIVE AND LET DIE' (1973)
I watched along with a record-breaking 23 million viewers in Britain the T.V. Premiere on a Sunday evening back in 1980, all my mates were talking about it in school next day, ah, good times...
Bernard Lee is marvellous here. "Insomnia Sir?"
"Instructions!"
Yaphet Kotto is a great actor. And Julius Harris TeeHee a great henchman. I was going to use TeeHee as my username here, but I noticed someone else had it first, but I've never seen them on here?
"No ice!"
"Thats extra man!"
