The flashiest gadget is a briefcase with some throwing knives and a tear gas grenade secreted in it, and what humour there is, is decidedly dark. A tough, taut thriller that pits Bond against the genuinely menacing Robert Shaw, the amassed forces of SPECTRE, and a scary closet lesbian named Rosa Klebb, From Russia With Love is not a typical Bond film by any means. Back when his barnet looked at least somewhat organic, Connery starred in From Russia With Love. Sadly, while movie technology had moved on, wig technology seemingly had not, and Sean's hair was again about as convincing as his Irish accent in The Untouchables.īut never mind that. I don't think anyone has a good word to say about Never Say Never Again, which saw Connery return to the 007 role as a paunchy 50-something in a 1983 film that is not even an 'official' Bond movie. You Only Live Twice and even Diamonds Are Forever rightly have their fans too, despite the latter seeing Connery don a wig so obvious, it might as well have been levitating above his head. Dr No was the first, Thunderball the most successful financially, Goldfinger arguably the most acclaimed. Choosing which of the Connery Bonds is best is no easy task, let me tell you.
