Sean Connery
Sean Connery's cameo as himself was very interesting, but I think they used an extra when he attends the burial. Can anyone confirm this?
shareSorry to get back with you so late, but I just watched this movie for the first time.
I didn't notice Sean at all during the scene you mentioned.

Better later than never! It's been more than a year since I've seen this, so my memory isn't perfect, but I remember that Sean Connery has a few lines as himself early in the film, then it's supposed to be him at the funeral, but it looks like a stand-in. You didn't notice him at the funeral? I suspect they couldn't get Sean, so they found someone of similar stature.
shareI noticed the man in uniform approaching the gravesite, but actually thought that it was an just some extra from another film, and not Connery. I was actually hoping that there would be a closeup of Connery with Crystal.
shareYes, I was looking for a closeup of Connery as well. His presence there kind of distracts from that scene because my eyes were drawn to him. I agree that it's probably an extra, especially because the camera seemed to intentionally avoid getting too close to him.
shareSean Connery, in a dark-colored military uniform, does have a cameo role in which he greets Abe Polin (Alan King) on the lot of the movie studio. Whether it is Connery at the funeral scene I do not know. In the credits, it says, "Sean Connery . . . .Himself."
shareI noticed that earlier scene with Sean Connery. I have the feeling it's not him at the funeral because they seem to intentionally blur the image.
