Product Description

Review

'A necessity for Connery and Bond fans' Los Angeles Times

Product Description

Among European actors Sean Connery is unparalleled in his achievements. Having extended his career from theatrical successes through every genre of film, as James Bond he became the backbone of the most lucrative movie franchise in history.


Born in an Edinburgh tenement, Sean Connery later served time as a milkman, cabinet polisher and art model. He turned to acting on a whim, and early onstage success in South Pacific translated into a TV and movie career. Taking his talents such as The Name of the Rose, The Hunt for Red October and The Rock. His role as Jimmy Malone in Brian De Palma's The Untouchables won him an Academy Award, which many saw as recongnition of a body of superlative screen creations over twenty years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Connery 30 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
I enjoy movie star bios - currently reading George Lucas. I went on to this book after Callan's recommended book on Redford. Connery was a huge asset to twentieth century films. He brought integrity and gravitas ... and the kind of "man" power not seen since John Wayne. Today his shoes are filled Daniel Craig (as Bond, drawing much from our favourite misogynist!) and, in the wider sphere ... well .... who???? So Connery is really irreplaceable. We miss him and this book is a powerful reminder of all he gave us.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real Sean Connery 26 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
A previous reviewer gives one star .... but he's reviewing the postal service ... and that's just not right. This book is the only fully researched Connery bio out there in the market, with the most thorough interviews with Connery and his family (brother Neil). Still on the shelves after 30 years ... which says it all. Buy it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Connery 2 May 2003
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book is the long awaited reissue (with extensive updating) of the ultimate, intimate Sean Connery biography which was the first and remains by far the best comprehensive study of this accomplished actor. Many Connery/Bond books draw heavily on Callan's work, which was the main credited source on Connery referred to by 007 producer Cubby Broccoli himself in his autobiography, published by Boxtree. Look no further for the true lowdown on the Great Scot himself.
