There has been only one James Bond.
Pierce Brosnan could have been OK if he were a little bit tougher looking and didn’t have to appear in the movies he was in.

The least they could have done was wait until after the wake before pissing on his grave.

He was married to Kim Novak for a year. That should by itself be worth a note in a biography.

I’m thinking horndog Bond would never survive being “Dick Johnson.”

He may mot have been right for 007, but I enjoyed Richard Johnson in many films. RIP.

I mainly remember Johnson as the professor investigating the paranormal in the original The Haunting, with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom. Good actor but without the combination of ultra sophistication and sadistic joy in the violence that Connery brought to Bond. None of the Bonds after him ever came close, although Daniel Craig at least tried.

As much as I love Connery as Bond, I truly love Alec Guinness as George Smiley, In the Le Carre spy series, And now we have Jamie Bell as Abraham Woodhull in the stunning TV series “Turn”

And I thought the NY Times held the record for turning obituaries into bad reviews.

Of course Connery was the best. I had the pleasure of seeing “Goldfinger” on the big screen for first time today.
But I don’t think Johnson would’ve been too bad of a 2nd choice.
He got a chance to play a very James Bondian mid 1960s updating of the 1920s English fictional detective Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond in the best of the 1960s Bond knockoff films, “Deadlier Than The Male” with Elke Sommer.
It’s currently available on youtube if you’ve never seen it:

I think it comes the closest in quality to an official Bond film. I rank it higher than the James Coburn/Derek Flint films(and I quite enjoy those as well).
However, avoid the dreadful sequel to it Johnson made called “Some Girls Do”. It’s so campy it makes the Dean Martin/Matt Helm films look like “From Russia With Love”.
