From Russia with Love is one of my favorite movies.

50 years of making films around the globe, 20 years of retirement, passing in his sleep in the Bahamas at 90. Not a bad life lived.

@porkchopbob Guess Goldfinger was my favorite. I saw it first run at a downtown theater and it was sell out crowds for weeks. James Bond Sean Connery merchandiser was on sale at the big department store next door. I bought  007 sunglasses and a thermos bottle. 

Now the 4 story department store has apartments in it and the old theater is gone and the swimming pool for the apartments is where the theater used to be. Swimming where I sat to see Goldfinger, War Lover with Steve McQueen, For A Few Dollars More with Clint Eastwood. Maybe next summer I could sell popcorn there just like the old days.

Sean was a great actor and had a nice smile.

What a great loss to the world. Sean Connery will forever be 007 to me no matter who they get to play that role now. A few years ago my wife gave me "The James Bond Collection-Casino Royale, Diamonds Are Forever, Dr. No." Ian Fleming had a way with word and Sean Connery was the right actor for the role.

Sad but what a great career and I am sure a pretty good life.

He dies on 31/10/20 - 3+1+1+0+2+0= 007
