Connery was the one they asked if he slapped his wife around and responded something like your damn right I did, and if you ask her, she’ll tell you she deserved it. The public was fine with that response, and Fleming wrote the Bond series years before. I looked it up to double check, Fleming was born 12 years before Women got the right to vote. And he died around the time the Jim Crow laws were abolished. Racism and Sexism were likely very prevelant in his life.
