XHM #560 - "For thee the poet of beguilement sings" (2021 June 07)

7:00pm - 9:00pm

The actor Dame Diana Rigg (1938-2020) was mostly known for her work in the British spy TV series The Avengers but she ruled the roost in George Lazenby's only film as James Bond as we profile Sir John Barry's score to the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Plenty of other secret agent film songs zip by in what likely sounds like the coolest party I'll never escape from.
