Broccoli season sprouts with Sir Sean Connery's restored Bond films

RESTORED films for six of Sir Sean Connery's James Bond outings are to be shown at the Filmhouse as part of a special season.

The digitally restored screenings of Connery's first six outings as the superspy, including Dr No, Goldfinger and From Russia With Love, are being shown in the Capital to mark the centenary of Albert R "Cubby" Broccoli's birth.

The producer was best known for producing the Bond films, and the Filmhouse has arranged the special "Broccoli, Cubby Broccoli" season to celebrate the anniversary.

Connery played Bond in seven films, but only six were produced by Broccoli, and all of these are being shown.

The season runs from Friday, April 17, to Tuesday, May 19.
