This ground-breaking study provides an authoritative account of the career of one of cinema' s most iconic stars. It highlights the importance of Connery' s early work, especially his television appearances, as well as dissecting the ' Bond phenomenon' that propelled him to international stardom on an unprecedented scale for a British actor. The book offers an in-depth exploration of Connery' s twenty-year struggle to escape ' Bondage' , including his reinvention as a father-mentor, a clever career move that enabled him to enjoy a second period of superstardom from The Untouchables (1987) onwards and to ' age successfully' . It situates Connery' s performances in their broader cultural and economic contexts and analyses his complex embodiment of iconicity and national identity, notably through his public activism campaigning for Scottish independence. Drawing on a wide range of archival and other sources, this innovative study will be essential reading both for fans of Connery and those interested in the strange and remarkable phenomenon of stardom.
