Bond, James Bond


Dr. No (1962)

Directed by Terence Young this film based on the novel the same name stars Sean Connery, Ursula Andress and Joseph Wiseman. Following the disappearance of a British agent in Jamaica gentlemen playboy and spy James Bond is sent to investigate.

This film was such a success it launched numerous sequels, imitations, parodies and helped create one of the iconic characters of pop culture. The plot sticks largely to the novel and while not as silly as some of the later Bond films it does edge slightly into the direction of the unbelievable. What the film does well is use some great locations and get across the sense of style and cool that has kept Bond interesting to more than one generation.

4/5
