I think everyone sees Connery as the definitive Bond.
Starting with
Goldfinger the series lost any hard edge it had and became
more and more
cartoonish. I think it's clear From Russia with Love was the
best of the
series. With its tight focus on action and lack of a
grandiose plot, its
almost as though it were the filming of a Matt Helm
novel.
Going back to the comments on the original books, it seems
almost everybo=
dy,
including most on this list, think of Bond as he appears in
movies. The
books seem forgotten.
