What Was He thinking?
In a mad scramble to secure a dashing actor “who can wear the tux, tote the pistol and woo the girl,” mega-producer Albert Broccoli has a famous actor squarely in his sights to play 007.
Proclaiming “An American can’t play James Bond,” said actor instead opts to make such cinematic stinkers as Fuzz, White Lightning and The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing over the next two years -- plunging his career to the D-list as his popularity, finances and health hit bottom. Who in the name of box office bonanza would turn down the role of 007? Listen and learn all about it in this episode.
