Scotland's greatest export. The world's first super spy. Voted the
sexiest man on the planet. Sir Sean Connery was a titanic figure on
screen and off for over half a century. Behind the son of a factory
worker, growing up in near-poverty on the harsh streets of pre-war
Edinburgh, lay a timeless array of motion pictures that spanned
multiple decades and saw Connery work across the globe with
directors as diverse as Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and
Michael Bay. And amongst them his greatest role, whether he liked
it or not - Bond, James Bond. Author A. J. Black delves into
Connery's life for more than mere biography, exploring not just the
enormously varied pictures he made including crowd pleasing
blockbusters such as The Untouchables or Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade, serious-minded fare in The Hill or The Offence, and his
strange sojourns into eclectic fantasy with Zardoz or Time Bandits,
but also the sweep of a career that crossed movie eras as well as
decades. From skirmishes with the angry young men of the British
New Wave, via becoming the cinematic icon of the 1960s as 007,
through to a challenging reinvention as a unique older actor of
stature in the 1980s, this exploration of the Cinematic Connery
shows just how much his work reflected the changing movie-going
tastes, political realities and cultural trends of the 20th
century, and beyond . . .
