: Did you guys know that while they were making Last Crusade, Spielberg wanted to take out any references to the fact that Elsa slept with Jones, Sr. because he was worried at how women would react to that, Connery fought to put it back in, he said in retrospect, "I didn't want the father to be so much of a wimp. Aside from the fact that Indiana Jones is not as well dressed as James Bond, the main difference between them is sexual. Indiana deals with women shyly. In the first film, he's flustered when the student writes 'I love you" on her eyelids. James Bond would have had all those young co-eds for breakfast". Interesting quote, huh?

I don't know that I would say Indy deals with women "shyly." He
seemed pretty forward with Willie and Elsa (a little too tired with
Marion, but not at all shy... in fact, from what was said between the
two of them regarding their past together, I would suspect Indy was
somewhat of a womanizer - you know, love'em and leave'em).

As a college profesor myself, I would be a little surprised (and
concerned from an ethical view) if one of my students made such
obvious advances to me.
