About this episode

This episode explores Sean Connery's role in the film 'The Hill' during his time as James Bond.

  Introducing our new stand of podcasts: While they were Bond . In this new series we look at the film starring James Bond actors during their tenure as James Bond. Our first episode focuses on Sidney Lumet's extraordinary and harrowing wartime prison drama, The Hill, starring Sean Connery who by 1965 was anxious to be cast in roles very different to 007. He certainly got his wish with this outstanding yet deeply controversial telling of life in a north African prison camp for British soldiers in World War 2.
