Remembering Sean Connery

I remember seeing this on TV on my own. I must have been about sixteen. I don't remember very much about the plot except that it was about a love triangle I think, and SC suffered from unrequited love. (Hard to believe!) My main memory is of him playing the piano and looking soulful, and I remember thinking what lovely brown eyes! I made a note of the actor's name as he was then unknown. A few years later, of course, everyone knew his name!
