Highlight of his career was his performance as Michael McBride in " Darby O'Gill and the Little People ", though I understand he was in some other films as well.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was his best performance imo.

Funny and witty at the same time.

Relatives were understandably upset

Their first reaction when told the news at the hospital was "Dr., No"

The Untouchables is the film I will remember him most for. 
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Watched it recently and it was poor. Loved it 20 years ago. 

Big fan of Connery but felt it was a bit of a token gesture and he wasn’t in the movie for any length of time really.

Connery's best film is hardly ever shown on TV or talked about.

"The Hill"

A tense war of wills between a gaoler and a prisoner (played by Connery) set in a British Army prison in North Africa during WW2. It's a superb film and was controversial when it was released too.

He only ever directed one film. A documentary called "The Bowler and the Bunnet" about the growing unease between trade unions and yard management on the Clyde shipyards in the late sixties. It's a fascinating film document that BBC Scotland occasionally repeat. It's a shame he never directed anything else.

Yes Dalton was the best actor to play Bond and the most authentic by a long way.

Norn Iron is the only one of the Home Countries never to have had a James Bond

Which is quite surprising given that guns are in the blood up there

Suppose they'd have to change the code name to 006 if Paddy Kielty, James Nesbitt or Conor from Neighbours ever got the gig

And Bond would drink pints of McEwans or Bass rather than Martini
