Never Say Never Again was better than Diamonds and, well, I'll just leave it at that. Well, one final note on Never - best scene was Fatima Blush: "You know that making love to Fatima was the greatest pleasure of your life." Connery: "Well to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia - " Fatima Blush: "SHUT UP!!!" Roger Moore WAS 007. From Live and Let Die to A View to a Kill.

The Property of a Lady was supposed to be Timothy Dalton's 3rd Bond movie as he was initially contracted to do three films. However, legal issues around the franchise's ownership and distribution rights ultimately delayed the next Bond movie for over five years. By the time the next Bond film was released that initial project had been discarded - for a variety of reasons - plus Dalton was no longer interested in a planned reboot of the series as he now needed to sign up to a further four movies. Certain storylines, initially included in Portrait of a Lady, have since appeared throughout subsequent Bond movies in the Brosnan and Craig years.

Genius editing and selection of scenes from Woman Of Straw to make it appear like a Bond film. With the Music I almost forgot it wasn’t a Bond film. Sean’s Scottish Brogue is much thicker in the scenes with Herbert Lom.

There is a knock off 007 movie made with Sean's brother Neil. Several 007 actors are in it. Neil Connery's film debut was in O.K. Connery (1967), a James Bond-inspired film.[5] The film was retitled Operation Kid Brother in the United States and is also known as Operation Double 007. It became known for having a number of the original James Bond series actors appearing as similar characters. OK Connery was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1998) under its alternative title, Operation Double 007

Awesome. Sean Lives. Legend

I remember reading that James Bond actor were not allowed to wear suits on his other movies while still in contract as 007 actors. We did not see Daniel Craig wearing suits in his movies other than Bond. Certainly it was not there while Connery started playing 007.

Portrait of a Lady ….. Not The property of a Lady and it was filmed in 1964 not 61 , The script was written in 1961 and the film was going to be a detective movie not a bond movie but changed later due to a script rewrite that was never finished due to Issues with the Fleming Family’s copyright laws on the Books . Then literally over night Sean Connery was asked to do From Russia with love and the Movie was dropped for a Better Script of the Book From Russia with love, Sean agreed as long as he was allowed to do other projects with any other studio , All Parties agreed. The rest is History. Seans salary was paid for the unfinished movie and double the salary for Russia with love, Because he had to drop out of Cleopatra so Richard Burton took his role instead. I would also add most of the clips were nothing to do with Portrait of a Lady but clips from other films added to make it look better,

Where did you get the colorized version of "the Frightened City"? I can't even find the full BW version on YT. Please post your version color version of TFC. I will be subscribing in hopes of that.

Bond James Bond was a good Sean, the best. 🤺💐

[@RamPMonyPers]

Fantastic! Very well made, indeed!

[@thomasdoubting]

As a kid i wonder why bond shoot the cameraman in the opening sequence... 📽💥🔫 ...I hade no objections, just questions. And this one left me with more questions than answers...

[@majorneptunejr]

You were looking down the barrel of the gun that about to shoot him.

[@charlesweeks5027]

This is not a bond film ,they edited it with the music

[@franseronell7678]

What´s the title? It says "Portrait of a Lady" in the opening sequence. Misspelled?

[@vicsaul5459]

Very clever editing 👌

[@JJP316]

Nice try, but this is just an edit of other Connery films, including Woman of Straw with GIna Lollabrigida. How could there be footage from Goldfinger and Thunderball in 1961?

[@rlpd5218]

Why don't you all lighten up most of you like it the guy's just trying to have fun why don't you take a pill or something, Go have a beer Or glass of milk could go play in traffic

[@margaretwalker969]

That's Woman of Straw, got it on DVD

[@dino_j]

Really nice job! Only problem I see is you call it "Portrait of a Lady" in the credits (04:24).

[@simonagree4070]

Very nice. I wish Sean Connery had come back to play M, but we all knew that M was based on Fleming's mother, so the eventual casting made sense.

[@Benmelech]

14 minutes of this is all I could take.

[@peterclark8763]

I’m confused. Why didn’t this make it on to the big screen
