But in fact, Sean Connery was predated by Barry Nelson.ĭespite being a James Bond fan for so many years, it took me a remarkably long time to get around to seeing this very earliest book-to-screen Bond adaptation. Many people (myself included, most of the time) talk about Sean Connery being the first Bond actor, which is true for the official Eon Productions film series. Either way, the Climax! episode so happens to be the first ever adaptation of a James Bond novel.
It aired as an episode of the anthology series, Climax!. Now I will be reviewing the oldest Bond film too.
I reviewed the (as of this writing) newest Bond film here.
