Personal preference
If yes, why not the other way around?
so we are like the plot in SF :wink:
I think roger became gay after that scene with mayday
And the joke that bombed the hardest goes to.
The same applies to other attributes (whether they be from the novel or from the film interpretation) that we as viewers have gotten used to over the years and expect from Bond. I for one have never got used to Craig's height in relation to the other Bond actors, and even though he is an excellent actor, would prefer someone taller next time out. I know a lot of folks could never accept Roger as Bond because his essential niceness comes through even when he's trying to be tough. They could therefore never accept him as a hardened killer.
So it's worth discussing. I for one don't have a problem with it, as long as the actor can credibly convey what I expect of Bond on screen, but it's not a given that he would be able to.

Rumors of Grant’s bisexuality swirled around Hollywood for years: was he a man-about-town who liked to have sex with men-about-town? But as evidenced by the story of Rock Hudson, Hollywood was adept at covering queerness with a varnish of hyper-heterosexuality, and women fell at his feet both onscreen and off. It was and remains unclear whether Grant actually was bisexual or whether he simply reveled in messing with anxieties sparked by two men living together. It seems unlikely that Grant, a practiced comedian, would not have been amused by befuddling as many gossip columnists as possible.
He was the best and most important actor of the last hundred years. He didn’t reinvent acting like Brando, he didn’t fatten himself up like Robert De Niro or starve himself like Christian Bale. He wasn’t burly like Gable, and he didn’t smolder like Mitchum. Instead, he played slight variations on the same character for the majority of his career, he wore a suit better than anyone in Hollywood, and he made acting seem like living. Over the course of his long career, Grant fixed standards of what it meant to be “debonair” and “a man about town” — everything he did, on screen and off, seemed inflected with panache and grace.
He would have made a good Bond, because he could act.
People by definition try to put stars in a darker light (for those who gay is a negative thing, which it was in those days to society at large). And there are probably pictures taken of me where you could also make it seem i am gay (which I'm not, otherwise this comment makes little sense ;-) )
Now you've done it. I'm either going to have to rewatch 'An Affair to Remember' or 'To Catch A Thief'.
Truly wonderful films.
Jebus, I'd rather have Jamie Bell than all of those choices!
I've watched 'North By Northwest' fairly recently and loved it, but I also recall being blown away by 'To Catch A Thief,' so it's tough to compare the two since I haven't seen the latter in a very long time. Could do for another rewatch of 'Charade,' as well; been a couple of years since I last watched that one, too.
That he most certainly was. 'To Catch A Thief' it is then.
@Creasy47 a decade? Seriously??!!
Go and watch it instantly!
Charade is the best Hitchcock film never made by Hitchcock--one of the most charming and pleasurable films ever made.
Now I want to watch Charade, To Catch A Thief and North By Northwest :p
