The Sean Connery Star Collection (Never Say Never Again / Cuba / A Bridge Too Far / Shalako)



Connery ... Sean Connery
A collection that includes NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, CUBA, A BRIDGE TOO FAR & SHALAKO. The first, Connery's swan song as 007 -- an independent remake of THUNDERBALL. CUBA is the best of the lot. Directed by Richard Lester it sets Connery as a British mercenary in Cuba as Castro closes in on Havana. A BRIDGE TOO FAR is a star-studded epic in the mold of THE LONGEST DAY (and also based on the book by Cornelius Ryan) about the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. Besides Connery you have Michael Caine, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, James Caan and a host of others (look closely as Reddford briefs his men prior to Nijmegen bridge assault and you see will John "Cliff Clavin" Ratzenberger. SHALAKO, based on a Louis L'amour novel, cast Connery in a western that also boasts Bridget Bardot, Stephen Boyd and Honor Blackman. Weakest of the lot.

Sean Connery Star Collection
Great to see this classic actor again in some of his best roles! I especially love Never Say Never Again and A Bridge to Far. Sean Connery never gets old and his movies get even better with age. This is a handy package collection at a good price!
