Hi

I must admit that when Daniel Craig was nominated for the role of Bond everyone put it down as ridiculous idea and continually did him down in the press. But after seeing his first attempt it must be admitted that he didn't do a bad job. He certainly beat George Lazenby for instance.

Hi

I liked From Russia With Love a good cast brilliant theme music when the chase scenes were on and a nice title song.


I don't know if I have quoted this story before but Sean Connery was contracted to 20th Century fox and never made a film for them until shortly before his contract was running out and he appeared in a small part in The Longest Day. Being only a minor actor he caught a train in france with some of the cast and was forced to sit on the floor of the train as he couldn't get a seat.
Knowing that he was not going to get a new contract with 20th century a colleague asked him what he intended to do next. looking down his nose Connery said I have a part in some British film playing a secret agent named James Bond, it's not musch but all thats available.
The rest they say is history and connery's colleague said that from not being important enough to get a seat on the train nowadays he could afford to buy it.
