Sean Connery - The Frightened City (1961)

IanFryer · July 2017

British forum members may be interested to catch Sean Connery's 1961 film The Frightened City has been turning up on the Talking Pictures channel. It was one of SC's last films before Dr. No and it's easy to see how Saltzman and Broccolli knew they had their James Bond. The film isn't perfect but Connery gives a commanding performance and is absolutely sex on legs in a way British leading men had never been before!

It's available on DVD here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Frightened-City-DVD-Sean-Connery/dp/B000Z63ZB0

But if you keep an eye on the TV listings it'll turn up on Talking Pictures again.
