Sean is a grand view. He makes his career as a spy, and becomes the highest paid actor ,at that time, in the world. That's quite an accomplishment. Diamonds was a thriller, in short order. It had a wondrous 007 feel, but to me was still different that all the others. It wasn't the highest flying Bond adventure, or the most exciting, but it was fun. This has the great nostalgia, of past 00' films. The Vegas strip, while still in it's youth. Connery, looking older as a commander, but of course not as old as 1983's Never Say Never Again.
Sean, a huge presence. Sorry for those who don't appreciate him, he is still just huge. And as Roger, said in a 2000' interview, Sean's bond could get away with more that Moore's Bond could with certain things that were risqué' or risky as a subject matter. For instance he could tie something around a woman's neck and start strangling her, whereas Moore stated, that his 007 could not go to that extreme. There is just a solid and large way that Sean Connery appears and plays out his parts.
I enjoyed the desert scenery and all the foreign county visits that he takes while maneuvering through this farewell espionage tour De farce.
I always have a great time when I am engrossed in an Ian Flemming novel-turned-adventure spy film. I also received a small but affective education in regard to fine wines from this film. As I purchased a nice 'Claret', because of what I had learned in the final scenes of the film.
Sean and the rest of the troupe, Jimmy Dean and Jill St.John, etc. were the essential element for this final Connery Bond adventure. Long live the 00' style and persona. I think we all need from time to time a real escapist activity and I can't think of too much of a better one while enjoying a break and or popcorn too. (*****)
