Our work started with conflicts, but we became friends, and in the end my dear Louis called.

It started with a conflict, but eventually Lajos Koltai became friends with Sir Sean Connery, who died on Saturday. The world famous Hungarian cinematographer worked with the great British actor on a very successful American crime scene in 1995. The film Just Cause had the Hungarian title “A True Case”.

“He was a very strange man, he didn’t like the people around him.” We also had a conflict at the beginning of filming, but in the end our relationship turned friendly. Lajos Koltai recalled working with Sir Sean Connery. The world-famous Hungarian Oscar-nominated cinematographer and cinematographer worked with the Scottish actor, who passed away on Saturday, in the 1995 film A True Case.

In One True Case, one of Hollywood’s greatest criminals, Sean Connery, starred alongside great actors Laurence Fishburne, Ed Harris, Kate Capshow, and then-child actress Scarlett Johansson. Directed by the world-renowned film The Kings of Mambo, it was directed by Arne Glimcher, and one of the screenwriters was Oscar-winning Peter Stone.

“Sir Sean Connery loved golf very much, which is why he always urged us to do the job first. He did not understand why a cameraman needed a “European artist”. He also didn’t like the director, who we got on very well with and we wanted to do this movie very well, even the car chase scene. At the end of the day, when we looked at the images again, he would always sit next to me, look at the photos taken, and at the end of the session we had a friendly relationship, Lajos Koltai said.

As the cameraman recalled, at the end of the shoot, Sean Connery finally said goodbye to the crew, and a bottle of champagne and a photograph with the text awaiting him in his room to my dear Louis.

Later, they also met at a European awards ceremony, where the legendary actor hugged him and greeted him like a friend.

“Our relationship started out strangely, but it became a very lovable figure in my life. With his death, one of the great personalities of cinematographic art said goodbye again, Lajos Koltai said.
