re: Hollywood and "age"/suspension of disbelief

Ford was 47 and Connery 59 when it was released.

Let's start doing the math on the Bond girls, then.

Because Moore took the part so late, he is the worst offender with age differences of:

Live and Let Die: Moore 45, Seymour 22 (+23)
The Spy Who Loved Me: Moore 49, Bach 29 (+20)
For Your Eyes Only: Moore 53, Bouquet 23 (+30)
A View To A Kill: Moore 57, Roberts 29(+28)



But other Bonds routinely had differences in the high teens to mid-20s.
