I heard about that author suggesting that Idris Elba was "too street" to play Bond. (The author has apologized.)
I was thinking, "Wasn't Sean Connery pretty street when he got the role as Bond?", so naturally I went to IMDb. It's a big of a mixed bag: Connery was doing some Shakespeare in the 50s but also something called "The Boy with the Meat Axe" on Armchair Theatre.
And then I found Hell Drivers. Seriously? It sounds pretty run-of-the-mill, but look at the cast!
Stanley Baker: Mr. Rochester from the 1956 Jane Eyre
Herbert Lom: Dreyfus from the Pink Panther movies (and a whole lot of other roles in other things)
Patrick McGoohan!
William Hartnell!
Jill Ireland
David McCallum!
Sean Connery!
It looks like a fan girl's paradise! Has anyone seen this?
(For that matter: has anyone seen "The Boy with the Meat Axe"?)
