Mitchell,
Is this a movie still?
Bill Wolcott

From 1965, Thunderball, with Connery as Bond on the pontoon and Rick
Van Nutterr as Felix Leiter in the cockpit.

Cec Linder was a much better Felix Leiter.

Oddly enough Van Nutter was American but Cec Linder wasn't.
Cec was a Polish-born Canadian citizen who made a good living playing
Americans in British films -- with he wasn't doing bits and pieces on TV.

In 1974 on a Junior NCO course, I saw Cec Linder playing a corporal nattily
turned out in bush dress in a film on instructional technique and thought,
"Wait a minute, that's Felix from the James Bond movies!" and got nothing more
out of the class.
