Ford and Connery: A winning combination

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2000)

It's quite true. They don't make movies like this anymore. It would be impossible. The combination of Sean Connery and Harrison Ford just worked. These are two very talented, established and expensive actors and they were at the time it was made, too. Only George Lucas could afford this kind of talent, and perhaps it was the best way Lucasfilm have ever spent their money. If only they could have remembered how to produce a good movie when they made the expensive but disappointing The Phantom Menace, recently. Perhaps it was just luck. The chemistry between Connery and Ford was a jackpot. It is a classic movie and it has been one of my favorites for years.
