What would Ian Fleming say?
As someone else said, Fleming said he pictured Bond as sort of like Hoagy Carmichael.
After he saw “Dr. No” he warmed to Connery and eventually thought he was a good choice.
One thing I will say for Connery, he really did look like he was a tough guy. He just had that look. Craig also has that look but doesn’t look like the image of Bond, that Fleming created.
"Can somebody get me out of this frickin' box?"
