I love that Dr No clip.
No one says Bond, James Bond like Sean did.

To be honest I think a lot of blokes my sort of age are a wee bit upset at this news.
Sean Connery was part of our growing up years, nothing more exciting in the 60s than going to see the new Bond film.
Things were a lot simpler in those days we had no technology like today.
All young lads like me loved 007 and with Sean dying it's a bit like part of your youth disappearing.
RIP.  :'(

That clip is how we first saw James Bond in motion pictures, Kev.  Ian Fleming described how James Bond looked like this...


“When I wrote the first one in 1953, I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened; I wanted him to be a blunt instrument … when I was casting around for a name for…”

“He reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless in his …’


Ian Fleming himself had this drawing of James Bond commissioned for a comic strip artist to use for a series in the Daily Express...





In Moonraker, Gala Brand also makes the connection:..


Rather like Hoagy Carmichael in a way. That black hair falling down over the right eyebrow. Much the same bones. But there was something a bit cruel in the mouth, and the eyes were cold.


Ian Fleming was able to see Sean Connery as James Bond in Dr. No before he passed away.  He remarked that Sean Connery was the James Bond he envisioned...





After Dr. No was released, Eon productions was told to tone down James Bond in subsequent films.  James Bond was ruthless in the first motion picture...

Sean Connery played the role of Bond perfectly and true to Ian Fleming's novel. 

I too, Kev, lived for each new James Bond movie in the 1960s.  Part of my youth disappeared yesterday too.
