In between Bond films Sean Connery starred in The Hill, an intense drama set in a British military prison camp in North Africa. The cruel punishment for prisoners in the camp is a forced run up and down a hill in the sweltering heat of the midday sun. Connery gives a powerful performance, and the supporting cast of mostly British actors fiercely intimidates while cinematographer Oswald Morris' black and white photography beautifully captures the harsh setting.
