Caledonian Craig Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Indeed sad news. But what a superb career he had. He set the benchmark as James Bond and managed to re-invent himself after the Bond films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Watch "The Hill" from 1965. This film was Connery's best. He's basically playing himself. The film was controversial at the time because it gave two fingers to the British Army and British establishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one where he said that any abuse of women was unacceptable ? He always claimed the "slap" remark was taken out of context / was tongue in cheek Of the numerous women he was involved with in his life i believe only Diane Cilento accused him of that sort of abuse years after he left her She also made claims about his relationship with his son Jason which were proven to be bollocks Here he is talking about his tattoos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodQeaTaXVc Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As so many movie greats have done, he played himself brilliantly every time. Watched this tribute last night, quite a few of his films I'd forgotten about like Outland and Time Bandits... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0674mg5 Hopefully STV will now repeat The Bowler And The Bunnet.

Indeed, like virtually all human beings. It shouldn't detract from the great things that they did. I don't understand why some people expect heroes to be flawless.
