a James Bond film that never was (with Sean Connery)

In 1997 he was 67 years old. TOO OLD to play the character.

It said 1977

Ooops! Sorry.

Regarding Bond 23, insiders maintain that “action scenes in India have all been axed” though scenes in Istanbul and Duntrune Castle in Argyll, “are still there for the moment”. Perhaps they are gonna do somehting in South Africa. The budget is not too high.

Bond wearing a beard? We saw Pierce Brosnan like that, do you remember?

According to a report in The Sun, -I don't know if we can trust them- 007 will be heading to Smithfield Market, in central London, to shoot some high-octane stunts. It is rumored that Daniel Craig himself will be required on the location. The scene is said to involve the jumping from a moving Land Rover to a moving Jaguar.

Spanish actor Javier Barden is in the movie.

Less action and more drama.

So he was 47, not bad...

He was making A Bridge Too Far at that time.

Well if you want a young Sean Connery this is a neat film that not many people know about.

(Also Sid James in a tough guy role.)

Wonderful cast and all of them still having hair upon their skulls! ThanXs!

Darby O'Gill and the Little People was with a young Sean Connery as well...

They had to "fix" his thick eyebrows to do James Bond, didn't they?

Check out 'On The Fiddle'. I love that film.
Connery, the gentle giant, and some little English weasel, who join the army and attempt to marketeer.
