The lawsuit was settled out of court but will eventually lead to some Bond peculiarities down the road.Ī lot of things from the Connery Bonds have not aged so well, including the rampant misogyny, but Bond disguising himself as a Japanese man in You Only Live Twice might have aged the worst. Connery’s Bond squares off against SPECTRE again, but this film is almost better known for being the focus of a messy legal dispute between Bond-film producer EON Productions, Fleming and a screenwriter Fleming had previously worked with named Kevin McClory.
