Unlike The Majority Of Bond Films, ‘Never Say Never Again’ Was Not Produced By Eon Productions, But By An Independent Production Company, One Of Whose Members Was Kevin McClory, One Of The Original Writers Of The Thunderball Storyline With Ian Fleming And Jack Whittingham. McClory Retained The Filming Rights Of The Novel Following A Long Legal Battle Dating From The 1960s

Connery Played The Role Of James Bond For The Seventh And Final Time, Marking His Return To The Character 12 Years After ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ 1971.
