たいへんお待たせしました。
世界のダンディーたち。本日、初投稿！
まずは「ショーンコネリー卿」を挙げなければなるまい。
ショーンコネリー卿に関する記事は、３～４回に及んで取り上げたい。
彼に関連する記事は、すでに数回取り上げているが、本日は「ダンディズム研究」の研究対象として初めての記事となる。
ショーンコネリー卿の人物描写、何故にダンディーか？これらの蘊蓄（うんちく）を書けば限がなく、とりあえず本日は、既成のプロファイルを引用するのみで終わりたい。
一言だけ、付け加えたい。
往年のヒット作「００７ジェームスボンド」シリーズ以降、映画俳優としてのショーンコネリーは大きく変化する。年齢と共に『男の渋さ』を活かし役柄を演じている数少ない有能な俳優。と、観る。先に紹介した「風とライオン」はもちろんのこと、下記に紹介する「レッドオクトーバーを追え」に於けるロシア原子力潜水艦ラミウス艦長役はショーンコネリーの適役であり、カリスマ的な高級軍人を演ずれば彼の右に出る人物はいなく、見事にロシア海軍軍人を演じている。
そして言わずもがな、この映画の原作が良い。
当時現役、日々のビジネスに勤しむ傍ら足掛け３年かけて原作を読破したが、この原作はおもしろい。
映画では描ききれていないこの物語（事件）の背景。さらにラミウス艦長を始めとるすソ連海軍将校＆高級士官＆乗組員ならびに米国海軍将校＆士官、ＣＩＡ諜報部員及び米ソ首脳陣「心理面」と「人物背景」などなど、映画では描ききれない人間の内面描写は、トム・クランシーの「小説」の中の活字により、見事に描かれている。
「映画」という画像表現に対し、あらためて「小説」のもつ文字表現力は、その文字を読む読者の「想像力」を画像と比較し、いっそう掻き立てられるものがある。あらためて小説の底力と深遠さを、再認識させられる。
さて、原作を読むにあたっての参考事項、、、。
筆者トム・クランシーの書き連ねる英語は、決して美文ではない。しかし安易で平坦、即ち、けっして難解な英語ではない。（変に修飾していないから読みやすい・・・）
問題は、小説のあらゆるところに軍事用語が出て来る。これがトム・クランシー流であり、最初はとっつきにくいと思われるかもしれない。読み進めていくうちに、慣れる。軍事用語イコール経営学用語であり、現役のビジネスマンにとっては平素使い慣れた単語が続発するから、面白い。いわば、経営学即ちビジネス世界は、戦争世界の用語と同じ用語を使っているのである。したがって経営学専門用語は、全て軍事用語と共通する事が明らかとなる。現役ビジネスマンはもちろんのこと、同経営学専攻の現役学生、ビジネス経営をかじっている人間にとって、即、役に立つ用語がちりばめられている。（等々という読み方もできる）
原作は、すでに出版されて２０数年の歳月を経ており、いささか時代めいてきたが、トム・クランシーの表現力と含蓄あるストーリーは、今でも活き活きと光り輝いている。数あるトム・クランシー作品のなかでも、心理描写がふんだんにちりばめられているという点では、小説としての芸術性は高く、他のトムクランシー作品よりもより、秀でたもの思う。
そして、軍事小説としては、すでに古典になりつつある。

Sean Connery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sean Connery as James Bond 007 in Goldfinger.Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born 25 August 1930) is an Oscar winning Scottish actor who has starred in many films and is best known as the original cinematic James Bond. His birth name was Thomas Connery. The name "Sean" was added later as a stage name.
Connery is known for his trademark Scottish accent and his good looks, repeatedly mentioned as one of the most attractive men alive by magazines even after he was considerably older than more conventional sex symbols. Some consider him more handsome now than when he was younger.

1. “PERSONAL LIFE”
Connery was born in Fountainbridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, to a Christian mixed-denomination couple. His father, Joseph Connery, was a Catholic of Irish descent with roots in County Wexford, Ireland and his mother, Euphamia "Effie" Maclean, was Protestant. Neither Tommy (Sean) nor his brother, Neil, were raised Catholic. He claims that he was called by his middle name of Sean long before he became an actor, explaining that he had an Irish friend named Seamus and those who knew them decided to call him by his middle name, which started with an "S", whenever he was with Seamus, and it stuck. He joined the Royal Navy after leaving school, and after being discharged on medical grounds went on to a succession of jobs, including truck driver, labourer and lifeguard. He competed for Scotland in the Mr. Universe competition in 1950, which led to work on the stage, TV, and eventually film. As a weight lifter, his nickname was "Big Tam".
He has long advocated Scottish independence, and has supported the Scottish National Party, a political party campaigning for Scottish self-government, financially and through personal appearances. This support is illustrated by a comment from his official website:
"While it is generally accepted that his support of Scotland's independence and the Scottish National Party delayed his knighthood for many years, his commitment to Scotland has never wavered. Politics in the United Kingdom often has more intrigue than a James Bond plot. While Scotland is not yet independent, she does have a new parliament. Sir Sean campaigned hard for the yes vote during the Scottish Referendum that created the new Scottish Parliament. He believes firmly that the Scottish Parliament will grow in power and that Scotland will be independent within his lifetime."
Connery used part of the fees from his work as James Bond to establish a charity to support deprived children in Edinburgh as well as Scottish Film production. These charitable works may have earned him a Knighthood earlier, but it was revealed in 1997 that the award had been declined by the Labour government due to his support for the SNP.
Connery received the Légion d'honneur in 1991. He received Kennedy Center Honors from the United States in 1999, presented to him by President Bill Clinton. He received a knighthood on July 5, 2000, wearing a hunting tartan kilt of the MacLean of Duart clan. Sean Connery received the Orden de Manuel Amador Guerrero from Mireya Moscoso, former president of Panama on 11 March 2003, for his talent and versatility as an actor.
He was married to Australian-born actress Diane Cilento from 1962 until 1973 (he was her second husband). Since 1975, he has been married to French-Moroccan artist Micheline Roquebrune Connery. With Cilento he had a son, Jason Connery, who also became an actor, and was educated at Millfield School in Somerset, England.
In September 2004, media reports indicated that Connery intended to retire after he pulled out of Josiah's Canon, which is to be released in 2005. However, in a December 2004 interview with The Scotsman newspaper from his home in the Bahamas, the then-74 year-old actor denied he was retiring and said he would like to make another movie, but that he is taking a break from acting in order to concentrate on writing his autobiography, but now the book will no longer be written. Just weeks before his 75th birthday, over the weekend of July 30th/31st 2005, it was widely reported in the broadcast media, and again in The Scotsman which credited the source as an interview in an unspecified New Zealand newspaper, that he had decided to retire from film making following disillusionment with the "idiots now in Hollywood" and the turmoil making and box office failure of the 2003 film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
As a personality he has been accused of being an overbearing bully but has also been praised as a highly professional and polite actor courteous and supportive of those around him. He made a big impression on actors such as Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, and Christopher Lambert, who considered him a great friend during filming.
