Bonds Jockey for position!

Graham Rye and the 007 MAGAZINE Archive were in the news again recently when various areas of the media ran with an amusing image from the archive of Sean Connery relaxing in his underpants on the hotel bedroom set at Pinewood Studios during the filming of From Russia With Love back in 1963. The Daily Mail found the comparison between Sean Connery’s Jockey briefs moment with the latest 007 Daniel Craig’s emergence from the ocean in 2006’s Casino Royale too irresistible not to compare! To date this feature has run in The Daily Mail, The Sunday Times (Scotland), The Sunday Times (England), Der Spiegel (Germany), and Globe magazine (USA).
