The Property of a Lady Movie (1961)

Tweet

I found a James Bond movie I hadn't seen on YouTube a while back. It had Sean Connery and Gina Lollobrigida in it. It was not as well done or as fantastic as the more recent Bond movies have been. It was more like a melodrama and not well-acted at all. I went on afterward and found a documentary about the actors who had turned down the James Bond role. I am listing them below and the reason they turned down if given: Peter Lawford Richard Burton, He was too old by then. He was asked three times and was in his late 50s by then. Cary Grant, He was 58 James Mason Patrick McGeehan He didn't want to do it. Too much promiscuity. Rod Taylor Too beneath him to do such a character. Lord Lucan Too beneath him. Adam West He was doing Batman by then. Clint Eastwood, He felt the actor should be British. Michael Gaydon Burt Reynolds, He felt the actor should be British. Jon Finch Just wasn't interested. Liam Neilson Didn't want to do an action film. Dominic West Christian Bale The picture is from studiobinder.com
