Do you realize that after that film debuted there was serious talk about nominating Connery for the 'Best Actor' award by people close to the Academy? Supposedly the nomination never went through because the 'Bond' movies lacked stature at that time. John Wayne had the same problem. He was definitely worthy of consideration for his role in 'The Searchers' but Westerns just weren't thought of as serious films.Go figure.
'From Russia' could be seen as the culminating film that brought Connery into the light as an actor as well as set the stage for what was to be the most popular of the early Bond films, Goldfinger.

from the pressure for repeats.

John Wayne played Bond?
Just can't imagine Big John asking for a dry Martini, shaken - not stirred, but I can't imagine anyone making fun of him either. :0)
