Great Scot: A Look Back At Seven Of Sir Sean Connery’s Greatest Performances

I was a kid sitting in a South Philly movie theater in 1963 when a beautiful woman appeared on screen and asked the man sitting across from her at a gambling casino for his name.

"Bond," a young man in a tux said as he lit a cigarette. "James Bond."

That was my introduction to one of my favorite actors, Sir Sean Connery in Dr No.

Matthew Dunne-Miles at the Scotsman offers a look back at seven great performances of Sir Sean Connery.

Sir Sean Connery made his name as the dashing leading man in his early years, but in his post-007 period he moved into seniority with aplomb, often stealing scenes with a salty charisma. Here, we chart some of his most memorable roles through the years.
