Debate Over the First Recast James Bond Film

Original: The First Time Producers Had to Find a New James Bond, the Result Was the Best 007 Movie Ever

A claim is circulating that the first time producers had to replace the actor playing James Bond, the resulting film turned out to be the best in the 007 franchise. Commentary points to the casting change that followed Sean Connery's original exit as proof the franchise could survive and even thrive after losing its lead star, a topic relevant again as Bond's producers face another recasting.

Why now: Bond fans are revisiting past recasts ahead of the search for the next actor to play 007.
