Why was Connery so unhappy with this film?


I read in an interview Connery gave around the time of Thunderball that he was very unhappy with Woman of Straw. He was very dismissive of the film.

On the Goldfinger DVD there's an on-set interview with Connery where the interviewer mentions Woman of Straw but Connery quickly moves onto talking about Marnie instead

I can't see what his issue was because I enjoyed Woman of Straw, it was much better than I expected it to be and I think it’s definitely a better film than Marnie.

Don't know, but we are still waiting for the DVD so perhaps there was something we don't know. Pity, because it is a great film.
I believe it has now finally been released. Maybe Sean didn't like being the bad guy!

Perhaps but he knew that when he took the role and the character he played in The Offence was pretty bad or at the very least messed up.
