That movie got to me - still remember the rope bridge scene. The acting was fantastic. Saw it on TV when I was in my early teens.

Sean Connery was a good actor. The James Bond films were entertaining but preferred him in other stuff.

Thinking back on all of the Sean Connery films I have seen, that might be the best one.

That is quite possible.

As he broke out of Bond, there are a few films such as that, The Man Who Would Be King, and Robin and Marion where the character in some ways mirrors being the aging hero that he had become as Bond and he acts elegiacally for the times passed for the characters and himself.

Some of the reaction in Scotland, particularly by some in the public eye has been somewhat over the top hagiography. The problems presented by his comments about hitting women, and the allegations of abuse from his first wife, should be addressed rather than ignored.
