Sean Connery

Beginning with Connery's early days in the theatre and television in the 1950s, this book covers each decade in turn: from his success as James Bond in the 1960s to the "Offence", "The Wind and the Lion", "The Man Who Would Be King" and "Robin and Marian" in the 1970s, on through the 1980s with "The Name of the Rose", "The Untouchables" (for which he won an "Oscar") and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and into the 1990s with "The Hunt for Red October", "The Russia House" and "Medicine Man". Robert Tanitch provides a running commentary on each production, with quotes from critics of the day. He also wrote "A Pictorial Companion to Shakespeare's Plays", "Ralph Richardson: A Tribute", "Leonard Rossiter", "Olivier", "Ashcroft", "Gielgud", "Dirk Bogarde" and "Guinness".
