Glad that you're getting started in the Bond franchise. I hope you can react to all the movies!

[@Blackflame24]

Some info for Coby. The choice between “shaken, not stirred” is throughout the series you will see Bond interact with possible villains or making first contact with people on a social basis over drinks. Whether it be playing cards or dinner at restaurant, he is usually trying to get information from people he doesn’t necessarily trust yet. He purposefully takes a weaker drink so he can drink naturally with whoever he is meeting without arousing suspicion AND he avoids getting intoxicated in the process. He wouldn’t be able to have the meetings over dinner and drinks and knock back strong, stirred drinks all night.

[@Xandaca]

As a lifelong Bond fan, great to have Coby reacting to the classic films - it's earnt a subscribe! Dr. No is one of the more difficult films for modern viewers to get through because of its old-fashioned feel and slow pace, in part a reflection on how low-budget it was even for the time, costing in the region of $1.1m (about $11.5m today). Ken Adam, the production designer, had a budget of under $15k (about $150k today) and achieved miracles with it, including creating the striking room in which Dent is reprimanded by Dr. No for just $745, for instance. That lack of money also explains some of the slightly choppy editing, as there just wasn't enough money to do proper reshooting. Editor Peter Hunt actually did a fantastic job pulling the whole thing together and even though the pace of the storytelling is slow, he developed an editing style called 'crash cutting', removing all the extraneous shots common at the time of the hero walking between locations and so on, to keep the film as lean as possible. That style of editing was instrumental in setting the standard for how films are edited today, especially action films. Although Connery was the face of the films, the early Bond films were arguably even more impactful in the talent behind the camera. A nod is also due to Johanna Harwood, the only credited female writer on a Bond film (as well as the next one, and uncredited on the one after) until No Time To Die, and Nikki van der Zyl, who dubbed over almost every female character in the film. Because of the budget, the film is arguably a rare example of the book, to which it is otherwise relatively faithful, having more action that the film: in the book, Bond's easy escape from his prison cell is a deliberate part of Doctor No's design, who wants to use Bond as a guinea pig in an experiment to test the limits of human pain, including burning heat and electric shocks (hinted at, ineffectually, in the film) and culminating, superbly, in a fight with a giant squid. A change for the better in the film is No boiling to death in the reactor pool, as opposed to being buried under a mountain of guano (bat dung!) in the book. Another is that in the book, a venomous centipede is placed in Bond's bed rather than a tarantula: the latter is rather more cinematic, I think. Even though the film doesn't top many Bond fans' rankings, it often sits around the middle as a mark of respect for how much it gets right, particularly nailing Bond's anti-hero character out of the gate, thanks to Connery's darkly charismatic performance and a willingness to embrace a level of sex and violence that was extremely controversial and never before seen in protagonists at the time - try and think of another film of the era in which the hero beds three women, including one just to pass the time before having her arrested, and murders a man in cold blood. Scenes such as Bond's iconic introduction, the aforementioned killing of Dent, Honey and Dr. No's respective entrances into the film, and No's death, are not only favourites of Bond fans but have also, to varying degrees, become widely recognisable moments in cinematic culture. All the Connery films have very different tones, so it'll be fascinating to find out what Coby makes of them. The next one is still relatively old-fashioned, though Coby might appreciate a certain Hitchcock inflection, but a big step up in pace, stakes, complexity and that all-important Bondiness. Looking forward to it!

Women of every generation since 1962 have reacted in the same way to the "Bond, James Bond" scene. Coby is no different. It is such a delight to see the effect Sean has on women, so it is easy to understand Bond's success with them in the films (however, there is always a comeback, so watch for this!). So glad you enjoyed this, Coby. Stick with it. The budgets get bigger, the stories more complex and more locations - with Sean at the helm, at all times! The best Bond ever.

[@mohammedashian8094]

More Complex? You gotta be joking. Starting with goldfinger and onwards (though to be fair thunderball the novel was originally a screenplay treatment first which is why aside from a few changes it’s relatively very similar to the film and on her majesty’s secret service which was very faithful to the novel) it was the exact same thing where the villain either wants world domination or world destruction to the point where it became a complete parody of itself plus thinking that it’s a good idea to keep having an OBVIOUSLY aging Roger Moore where he’s not only older than the Bond girls but also older than their mom.

Glad you enjoyed it, Coby. When Dr. No was released, it had only been 17 years since the Second World War had ended, and people around the world (but especially in the UK), were ready to see foreign locales that they couldn’t ever dream (or afford) to visit at that time, so the travel aspect in the Bond films gave audiences a flavour of what life could be like abroad. The budget for the film, in 1962 was $1M (equivalent to about $10.3M today), which wasn’t a lot for a film company like United Artists (who were funding the film), but it was a slight risk on their part that they might not see any profit from that expenditure. Fleming wasn’t initially happy with the choice of Connery as Bond (he favoured someone more debonair like David Niven), but upon seeing the finished film, and the next one in the series, From Russia with Love, he came around to the idea that Connery was the right actor after all. So sad Fleming didn’t get to see the finished 3rd Bond film, Goldfinger, released in September 1964, having succumbed to a fatal heart attack, one month before on August 12th. Dr. No was the 6th Bond novel, published in 1958, but wasn’t the original 1st choice to be the 1st James Bond film. That was meant to be the 9th novel, Thunderball, published in 1961, but that story got tied up in a court battle as to who truly owned the rights to the screenplay, so Dr. No was chosen instead. Interesting that you like the music. You’re probably referring to the Jamaican Calypso music, as the original score by Monty Norman is not a fan favourite. Norman did give us The James Bond Theme, which was reworked by John Barry into a powerhouse guitar and horns piece that truly captured the essence of who James Bond was, and how dangerous his missions could be. John Barry would score the next film, From Russia with Love, and a further 10 more Bond films over the next 24 years and he is regarded as the best ever Bond composer. Dr. No doesn’t, as the 1st film, completely nail down the ‘Bond formula’ (which would add to the series as a whole and which would allow the series to go on as a worldwide cinematic phenomenon), but there are elements in it that would carry on into the 2nd film and beyond: Bond bedding three, sometimes four girls in each film, the globetrotting, the gadgets, the touches of sadism, the humour (most of which was missing from the books), the wonderful main Bond girls, dripping with beauty and sexuality, the Bond villains with their bonkers plots of controlling or destroying the world (or for their own personal gain), and not forgetting the amazing set designs, courtesy in the 1960’s and 1970’s by production designer Ken Adam. All of these elements were usually wrapped up in wonderful witty and suspenseful screenplays, many of which were written by the American screenwriter, Richard Mailabum, who wrote (or co-wrote) 13 Bond screenplays (starting with Dr. No.) In fact, the success of the early Bond films were down to a core number of people behind the camera. Dr. No’s British Director, Terence Young (who acted like Bond off set and gave pointers to Connery in how to be suave and sophisticated), John Barry and Richard Maibaum (both of whom I’ve already mentioned) and last, but not least, British film editor Peter Hunt, who’s fast cut editing (especially in the fight and action scenes) was new and original in 1962, and helped make British made films like the Bond series more palatable to American and other foreign audiences who had been used to long, master shots of scenes in films that held on for too long and slowed the pace of the film down enormously. All of these people, and their talents would only get better as the Bond series progressed and much of the action, humour and foreign locale adventure that is common place now with series like the Mission Impossible films, owe their debt and thanks to the 1st film that started it all: Dr. No.

Ian Fleming, Bond's creator, believed that stirring a drink compromised on flavor. Fleming preferred his martinis shaken because he believed it preserved the flavor of the drink. As far as the actual Bond lore around the shakened not stirred, The vodka martini's clear color and lack of a strong odor help Bond blend into a crowd. Bond's martini order is a tactic to socially manipulate the surrounding room. And lastly, shaking aerates the drink, making it colder and slightly more diluted than stirring. As well vodka made from grain rather than potatoes makes his drink even better. Shaking is also said to dissolve the vermouth better, making it less oily tasting.

[@williamarmstrong7721]

In 1959 Sean Connery played a villain in the movie TARZAN'S GREATEST ADVENTURE starring Gordon Scott as Tarzan (in which his character gets killed by Tarzan). It is among the best Tarzan movies ever made with an intelligent script and Tarzan is more like the book version than Weissmuller's "Me Tarzan - You Jane" type dialogue. The Tarzan producers wanted Sean to return for the next Tarzan film but he declined. Sean Connery was apologetic. ‘Two fellows took an option on me for some spy picture, and are exercising it. But I’ll be in your next,’ he promised, having no idea what would happen with James Bond." The rest, of course, is history.

Mad respect for you viewing these, even if you just 'sample' some of them. A lot can be taken for granted so just a bit of context here for the early Bond flicks... you gotta understand when the author, Ian Fleming, came out with these novels, and then the films, to the world, and mostly the Brits, it was literally fantastical. I mean, remember it was still war-torn England, people were on food stamps and rations, the landscape was still a lot of burnt down buildings, and international flights to 'faraway' lands, well, out of reach for most people. So to see someone on a flight, let alone the interior of an airport... then there's the food(!). In one movie, Bond walks by a massive fruit bowl in his apartment, stops to pick ONE grape, and eats it while walking away. Imagine being in that audience salivating at a bowl of fruit you've probably never seen in real life... fantastical. So yeah, these early films play out like some lush fantasy escape, no wonder the books and films were big hits. - instantly subscribes 😂

You're experiencing the quirkiness of the original Bond films. In regards to the "dragon", both Quarrel and Honey Ryder are rather naive individuals. Honey lives mostly off the grid, other than her brief visits to Miami to sell shells. So she's unfamiliar with tanks etc.

[@joepowell7025]

I was 12 when this came out in 1962 and i remember it well. It was something we had never seen before and we were hooked. I loved being a teen in the 60's and in my 20's in the 70's, exciting times indeed.

[@nsasupporter7557]

The James Bond movie series didn’t officially take off until the 3rd movie with Goldfinger. Dr No was just a “first attempt” so to speak. They didn’t know how well the Ian Fleming stories would adapt to film, but Dr No was a hit and From Russia with Love was an even bigger hit. So by the time Goldfinger came out, James Bond was kicked into high gear

[@duanelavely5481]

I remember taking a date to dinner & downtown to see "Dr. No" at 1 of the 3 major theaters in Houston (1962). Sport coat & tie. My date in a dress with nylons & low heel shoes. Her Dad met me at the door & I was instructed to have her home by Midnight. I was 15 & had bought my 1st car, a 1957 Chev. Bel Air like the car that picked up Bond at the airport in Jamaica. However, mine was a 2-Dr. hardtop, silver with a white top but the same red interior. V-8 engine bored out to 4" (305 cu. in.). Those were the days of hanging out at the drive-in hamburger joint with the occasional stop light drag race challenge.

[@marcribe6483]

This is when James Bond movies were first and foremost a spy movie. Quickly though, high end cars and gadgetry become more of the focus as 007 deals with near absurd villainous characters and situations in order to foil plans of various degrees of world domination. During the Roger Moore era it became a spy comedy. For the most part, it's been a cliche of itself ever since. The exception of course is the 2006 version of Casino Royale. This is a true James Bond spy movie following closer to the book. The follow-ups are not Ian Fleming stories which puts them in a different category all together.

[@jd190d]

The original Casino Royale movie was the best, could you think of a villain more terrifying than Woody Allen.

[@mohammedashian8094]

After Moore left, Timothy Dalton wanted to make it more serious and more Fleming like and be faithful to Fleming’s character but he got a lot of backlash for that and was not appreciated for it until years later and in fact he got criticised for the SAME EXACT reasons that Craig was praised for.

He doesn't look "different" here. He looks different when he's old. He looked normal here. Honestly, you kids.

He's not even all that young here. He was 32. He made his first film (as an extra) eight years earlier. He then made eleven more films (mostly in tiny roles) before starting as Bond in this film, DOCTOR NO.

[@christhornycroft3686]

@@NoHandleGrr I was a kid in the 80s and 90s and even before I got into Bond, I saw Connery in Darby O'Gill and the Little People, a movie that went from whimsical and fun (with amazing special effects for the 1959, or any time) to incredibly dark and scary later on. The Banshee gave me nightmares as a kid. It's tough to beat a practical effect. But when I saw From Russia With Love, I was hooked. Dr. No was good, and you can imagine what it was like for me as a budding teenager seeing that shower scene, but FRWL sold me on the character and the series.

I know one thing whoever made his hairpieces for Bond did a fantastic job . Connery is fantastic in the part however I think that Dr No is probably the weakest of all the Bond films he starred in, but it's still pretty decent.

Honestly y'all, give her a break LOL I'm 44 years old, and I don't remember seeing a movie with Sean Connery under the age of 50 until the late 90s. Coincidentally, this movie was the first movie I saw him "young"

[@MrGadfly772]

My two favorites are yet to come; "Thunderball" and "Goldfinger." Next, if you go sequentially, is "From Russia with Love" and it is also well thought of. The list for the Sean Connery Bond films is, in order: "Dr. No", "From Russia with Love", "Goldfinger", "Thunderball", "You Only Live Twice", and then "Diamonds are Forever." Then in the eighties he made "Never Say Never Again." The film "Goldfinger" will set the Bond formula which will be followed for decades.

Here's the excerpt from the first Bond novel where Bond initially presents his drink of choice to Felix and the reader: 'A dry martini,' he said. 'One. In a deep champagne goblet.' 'Oui, monsieur.' 'Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?' 'Certainly, monsieur.' The barman seemed pleased with the idea. 'Gosh, that's certainly a drink,' said Leiter. Bond laughed. 'When I'm... er... concentrating,' he explained, 'I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name.'

Bond Movies are the perfect thermometer for what films were like in each era. 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s they span so many decades and show off so much of what each time period was like. Not just in the setting, but in the filmmaking and story telling techniques used.

[@aaaht3810]

Enjoyed your reaction. You seemed to just accept it for what it is, a 62 year old movie and had fun with it. So many try to critique these early 1960's Bond films through the lens of 21st century, popular culture, CGI, technology, etc. For a film made so long ago, it still stands up well. By the way, Bond kills his pursuer in the stream with Honey's knife. He asks for her knife before they cut the reeds to hide along the bank and it can be seen in his hand.

[@Nukeskywalker45]

Will you be reacting to the other Sean Connery bond movies? - My Auntie worked in Glasgow Airport years and years ago back when i was a kid and she met Sean and got his autograph for me and my brother. She always remembers him being polite and kind. She asked him what brings him home (or something like that) and he said “i’m here to play a little bit of golf” she spoke for a min and then went back to work. She said out of the famous people she has met at her time in that job he was up top of her list as one of the few celebrities that were actually genuinely nice. My brother took the autograph unfortunately.

[@reybarreto7979]

There’s something about your facial expressions as you watched the movie that I found most entertaining. Your commentary was amusing as well as interesting, especially how observant you were with regard to certain inconsistencies in the film. I was a young boy in the 60’s and I still remember owning a plastic replica of the James Bond gun, the coolest toy I ever had. We all wanted to be Bond, us boys, but for me the big attraction was not Connery but all the cool gadgets he gets to use. Now, as an adult, I appreciate Bond movies for their music, the sexy women, and the sophistication and charisma each Bond actor brings to the role. Connery, for me, will always be the quintessential Bond, but I was sad to see Daniel Craig’s Bond die in that last film, but I have to believe the franchise did not die with him. The world needs James Bond so so long as there are terrorists and madmen trying to take over the world. He is a symbol of hope but also the essence of what it means to be cool.

Honestly, my favorite Connery Bond. I really can't even explain why (at least not convincingly), just so much of what makes Bond Bond is displayed here almost as a caricature at times but not in a demeaning way but a more *distilled* way... cold war espionage, convoluted evil plans, beautiful women, Bond being cool... none of it overstays it's welcome.

[@josephmayo3253]

Great reaction Coby. Sean Connery did 5 Bond movies before stepping down, then came back for 1 more when his replacement didn't work out. Then over a decade later, he was part of a rival Bond movie, that has a whole convoluted backstory behind its production. So 7 in all, to answer your question. They made this for less than $1 million. Even in those days that was a pretty low budget. Its success meant they could spend quite a bit more on future movies. And the production values do improve. Over the next couple of movies, the formula will get perfected, and you'll see the gadgets, the Aston Martin, more convoluted plots, and really elaborate sets. One set in You Only Live Twice cost more money than Dr. No. Glad you enjoyed it, and looking forward to your journey through the Connery Bonds. I hope you eventually get through the whole series. 25 movies might seem daunting, but you're already got 6 under your belt. So peck away at it, and you'll get there.

Connery is my favorite, even though I loved Roger Moore when I was growing up. Watching the evolution of the character grow and change through the years is great fun, I hope Coby will continue with all the movies she hasn't seen.

A story I’ve heard about why they chose to adapt Dr. No first was because author Ian Fleming lived in Jamaica (at the time still a British colony; they would declare independence before the film’s release), and wanted to see how they were going to treat his creation. He was so impressed that he retconned Bond’s origins so that he came from a Scottish family like Sean Connery.

"From Russia with Love" was the next one, and a great one - it established Bond as the coolest ever (with the introduction of secret gadgets) and set everyone up in 1964 for Goldfinger - which was the peak of Bond early popularity - all of us boys wanted to be spies and spy programs started popping up on TV everywhere. Of course in 1964 something extraordinary happened in music, you might have heard about it. Anyway and awesome time to live through.

[@Actrjay]

That opening "jazzy music" is literally the James Bond theme that's been used in every Bond since. Each film gets a new title song,but,this theme is in every Eon Production Bond film.

[@kenle2]

In the scene in the water with the henchman, Bond had Honey's knife in his other hand when he grabbed the henchman over his mouth to keep him from yelling for help. He stabbed the guy through the heart, probably, from the back. It's a technique Commando units teach to deal with guards. The alternative is to bring your other hand around and cut the guy's throat, but they weren't going to show something that bloody on the screen in 1963, for obvious reasons.

[@SNEED456]

One of the repeating themes set up in this film is the supervillains who treat Bond like a guest, explain their plan to him in complete detail, then fail to kill him because they choose an unnecessarily elaborate way to do it ... thus making it possible for Bond to defeat them. In a way it makes no sense, except that Bond villains are usually driven by a need to show off their power and wealth. And Bond represents all the official, high-class approval they crave, but can't get elsewhere because they are twisted criminals.

By the time Roger came around Bond movies were heavy with gadgets and a bit sillier in all things than Sean's movies. Finally Timothy Dalton's movie The World is Not Enough became to silly for the franchise to go one that way. That is why the Daniel Craig movies are more down to Earth. They were supposed to follow the books more but after the first movie they kind of went off script too. Now we wait to see where it goes from here.
