Smyrna review – raw, shocking violence in epic take on Greek-Turkish conflictThis epic historical drama could have been called Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor or Once Upon a Time in Turkey, depending on which side of the Greek-Turkish divide you sit. That thorny geopolitical entanglement is what it attempts to unpick, sometimes too forcefully, in telling the story of the one-time melting pot of Smyrna (now İzmir).

At a muscular 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), Connery was initially met with disapproval from Fleming, who believed he was an overgrown stuntman lacking the finesse and elegance to play James Bond; he envisaged a suave actor, such as David Niven, playing the role. Producer Albert R. Broccoli—known to all as Cubby—disagreed with Fleming's view, later commenting that "I wanted a ballsy guy ... put a bit of veneer over that tough Scottish hide and you've got Fleming's Bond instead of all the mincing poofs we had applying for the job"

But while I was growing up, they were. My grandfather had an uncommon name, as well: Lian. I never met him. Mom describes him as adorable, charming, and funny. His life was just as uncommon…” This is the introduction to the ground-breaking documentary film “My People” by Anna Rezan, whose grandfather Lian was arrested by German Nazi occupiers in Athens during WWII.
