> Released in 1983, which movie was the last to feature Sean Connery as JamesBond?And the answer: Never Say Never Again.Photo courtesy: Den of Geek.In 1983, Connery played the movie role of James Bondfor the seventh and final time. The film's title of Never Say Never Again is areference to the actor's reported declaration in 1971 that he would "neveragain" star as Agent 007.Connery originated the role of Bond in the film Dr. No (1962). The character wasthe creation of British author and journalist Ian Fleming, who premiered theconcept in his 1953 novel Casino Royale. Connery ultimately starred in sevenBond films, including the "unofficial" Never Say Never Again (regarded as suchdue to the fact that it was not produced by EON Productions, the groupresponsible for most of the franchise).Aside from classic themes of nuclear-ransom and intense Bond-style near misses(not to mention the beautiful female accomplices), Never Say Never Again has anelement of fun buried within the plot – the villain, played by Klaus MariaBrandauer, plays his role with a touch of gritty humanity. According to criticRobert Egbert [https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/never-say-never-again-1983]:> "Brandauer is a wonderful actor, and he chooses not to play the villain as acliché. Instead, he brings a certain poignancy and charm to Largo, and sinceConnery always has been a particularly human James Bond, the emotional stakesare more convincing this time."All in all, Never Say Never makes for a daring and thrilling final installmentof the original face of Bond – and, after declaring that he'd never play thecharacter again, a delightful last word for Connery. Well done, 007.
