First paragraph - Non-EON Bond film

Hi - I think there should be an edit to the first paragraph where it says: "Never Say Never Again (1983), the first non-Eon-produced Bond film." This isn't correct because the first non-EON Bond film is Casino Royale from 1967. And, if Casino Royale doesn't count, then Never Say Never Again would be the only non-EON Bond film. Something like "a non-EON-produced Bond film" would be more accurate. 2603:8000:D402:FFA:9BC7:EFDC:CCC3:F7F2 (talk) 16:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction - awards

I have just edited the intro to specify the films he won his Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for. This also removes redundancy from that paragraph, as it formerly stated he received three Golden Globes, then in the next sentence lists some of his honorary awards - including the Cecil B. DeMille Award, one of the three Golden Globes. In doing this I additionally noticed that the "Awards and honors" section has the table of his acting awards, including the BAFTA Fellowship, then below that is the Honors list which included the BAFTA Fellowship, now also removed.

Pre-James Bond film to be included

On The Fiddle: 1961. Comedy. Directed by Cyril Frankel. Stars Alfred Lynch, Sean Connery & Cecil Parker. A couple of loveable service dodgers avoid the front line until they are sent to France. 87.115.135.190 (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

The picture claims to be from 1964. He'd be 33-34 then. It sure doesn't look like the photo of a 34 yr old. Would someone verify the date it was taken? (I'd guess 1970-75 (or even later), but skin-aging varies by exposure as well as health, diet, and genetics...so maybe.) Thanks!40.142.176.185 (talk) 01:23, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Sean Connery as James Bond and Tania Mallet as Tilly Masterson during "007 - Goldfinger" shooting at the gas station "Aurora" in Andermatt" Goldfinger was filmed in 1964. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 02:41, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also think the picture is not that great. Maybe try this one?
