The Right Man for the Job?

United Artists

Shakespeare’s book notes that according to Fleming’s film agent, Robert Fenn, Fleming was initially shocked because Connery “couldn’t speak the Queen’s English. Fleming said, ‘He’s not my idea of Bond at all, I just want an elegant man, not this roughneck.’” 

Later, according to the book, Fleming would call Connery an “over-developed stuntman” and wonder if he had “the social graces” to play his hero. 

Above, Connery is fitted for 1962’s From Russia With Love.
