"I dont think that [James Bond] is necessarily a good guy or a bad guy. Who is? Hes got his vices and very few perceptible virtues except patriotism and courage, which are probably not virtues anyway. Hes certainly got little in the way of politics, but I should think what politics he has are just a little bit left of center. And hes got little culture".
"Hes a man of action, and he reads books on golf, and so onwhen he reads anything. I quite agree that hes not a person of much social attractiveness. But then, I didnt intend for him to be a particularly likable person. Hes a cipher, a blunt instrument in the hands of government".
Thanks for the link Perdogg. This is not the article I recall reading but he pretty much says the same things in a different way. In an article I read, he specifically said that he did not admire the character of James Bond.
I enjoyed reading this.
Last night for the time I saw the uncut uncensored version of “From Russia with Love”. The guy that played Kronski was in UFO.
I was pleasantly surprise to learn than Daniela Bianchi uncovered backside was shown and uncovered mamma, and what a view it was. I was surprised to see this in a movie that was made almost 50 years ago.
Clearly Sean Connery's behavior towards women, today, would be politically incorrect. The open hand slap to Tatiana's face by Bond would get a protest from NOW today
