R.I.P Sean Connery - A Legend of Cinema.
It wasn't until the late 80s that Sean Connery finally had the chance to prove he was an actor of some range. His latter work is proof of this. James Bond isn't the hardest part to play and the character didn't stretch Connery's acting ability. Films like "The Hill," "The Offence," "Name of the Rose," "The Untouchables" and "The Man Who Would be King" are ones that demonstrate his range. Bearing in mind the number of poor movies he made, Connery's legacy shall live on.
