“…But Connery has had a penchant for literary adaptations for his entire career. In 1961, he was in TV versions of both “Macbeth” and “Anna Karenina.” Later Connery literary projects “The Hunt for Red October,” “The Longest Day,” “Marnie,” “Murder on the Orient Express,” “A Bridge Too Far,” “A Fine Madness,” “Shalako,” “The Russia House,” “The Molly Maguires,” “The Anderson Tapes,” “The First Great Train Robbery,” “A Good Man in Africa,” “Wrong is Right,” “Family Business,” “Just Cause,” and “Rising Sun” were all adapted from books; “The Hill” and “The Offence,” from plays; “The Man Who Would Be King” from a Rudyard Kipling story; and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” from a comic book. That’s around 80% of his body of work, a hyper-literary run.”
