Not James Bond
I have seen several Sean Connery films, other than James Bond, some were good, others I would begrudge space in the trash can.
My favourite is Outland, it is like High Noon in space, with Connery's character fighting a corporation that drives its workers to death to fulfil the demands of the drug users on the planet.
His role in the film The Red Tent, about a failed attempt to cross the arctic by balloon, was almost ruined because Claudia Cardinale's boyfreind, the director tried to demand she had a larger role. She was only in the film so it could be sold to Italy, where the pilot of the airship came from. In this film, he played Roald Ammundsen, who died trying to land on ice to rescue survivors of the crash.
In my opinion, which goes against most people's view, the film Zardoz is utter junk, even the presence of Charlotte Rampling couldn't save this sci-fi film.
