In 1965, audiences didn't want to see Sean Connery in a gritty war prison drama. They hadn't wanted to see him as a scheming nephew in "Woman of Straw" or in an Alfred Hitchcock psycho-thriller, "Marnie," either. Basically, if he wasn't playing James Bond, people in the mid-'60s didn't want to see Sean Connery in anything.
