For his role in Goldfinger, Connery signed a contract that made him the highest paid actor to ever grace the silver screen for a film going into production. The contract was for $1,000,000! A paltry sum by today's standards but considered an outrageous amount of money at the time.
Second part of the trivia question as to how that amount of money relates to another Bond film: The movie 'Dr.No', the first Bond film with Connery, cost almost exactly the same amount of mula to produce: a little more than $1,000,000!
Stay tuned for another 'quiz-post' about Connery in the upcoming days...That is if you all can stand the tension 8>)
