We lost this Scottish giant of cinema 2 months after his 90th (October 31st 2020) and with him Diana Rigg (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service) plus his judo equal Honor Blackman (GOLDFINGER) this year so far sucks. Rest In Peacr, Saint Sean
What was said about the sets being smaller than they were on screen reminded me of the time I was on the Bounty. It was sailed up the Hudson for a ceremony for the Fort Montgomery battle. I remembered it from the movie Yellow Beard and it looked much larger in the movie but standing on the deck it actually was much smaller. It is amazing what cinematographers can do.
The Criterion laserdiscs of the first three Bond films had running commentaries that MGM/UA strongly objected to for vague reasons that were never made known publicly. The discs were already in stores but Criterion had to recall them under threat of lawsuit from MGM/UA. Criterion attempted to get around this by offering copies of the commentaries for sale on audio cassette. Well, MGM objected to this as well and I don't believe any of the cassettes were actually distributed, although I had ordered the one for Goldfinger myself. On a very similar note, Barbara Streisand had second thoughts about a thing or two she revealed in her commentary for the Prince of Tides laserdisc and Criterion had to pull that disc from shelves as well, although they re-released the title with a re-worked/edited commentary.
Guy Hamilton always gets a lot of credit for sending the Bond franchise into orbit with Goldfinger, but it is good to give Young credit for establishing so much in the first film.

One of the best Bond movies.
Dana Broccoli, wife of Cubby saw Sean in Darby O'gill and the Little People and told her husband.
Connery will forever be James Bond.
