Dr. No is the first of the Bond films. Though it dosen't have the flasy Aston Martin or the gadgets, Dr. No does have the plot, the villian, the girls, and the famous entrance of Sean Connery saying "Bond. James Bond".
Sean Connery is great as 007. He looks the part and acts it well. He is especially good in the casino entrance and later when he cold-bloodly shoots Professer Dent.
Joesph Wiseman is a great Bond villian. he has a sense of menace that has been matched by few other villian in the history of cineama. He has the normal Bond villian things like a deformatiy (in the form of his metal gloves), the lair (brillantly designed by Ken Adam), and the end fight with 007.
Ursuala Andress is great as the sexy and independant if not naive girl honey Rider. Her entrance is worth watching the whole film to see. Jack Lord is great as Felix Leiter, Bond's friend and contact.
The sets are excellent. Ken Adam began a long held Bond tradition with his sets. The Music is low key, but THIS is the first Bond film. Terence Young brought a lot of style to this film, as did Peter Hunt's excellent editing.
This is a great Bond film. Go see it! |
