20 Behind-The-Scenes Shots That Make Films Look Stupid

5. Terrence Young Directs Sean Connery's Kissing Skills

The name's Bond, James Bond. A 007 agent with a licence to kill. Apparently he's better trusted around small fire arms than kissing a woman, mind, what with Terrence Young leaping into to direct Sean Connery up close during an intimate scene during From Russia With Love. There's micro-managing, and then there's telling people how to pretend to have sex. The relationship between director and star is a tricky one in the first place, with the person behind the camera looking to guide the performance to some degree, but they need to leave some room for the actor to do their own thing. Not so in the world of James Bond, it seems. Seriously, who would have the gall to tell 007 how to do his job, let alone how to get down?
