- Shake up a martini because it's time to explore some useless trivia about the first James Bond movie to hit the big screen - Dr. No. From the theme song, to stolen art, to Ursula Andress' bikini... I'm uncovering it all.
- Zábava
"Minnows pretending they are whales. Just like you on this island, Dr. No." Great line. RIP Sir Sean.
Honey Rider: are you looking for shells? Bond: no, I am just looking.
My favorite line from the movie :
That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six .
Same!
One more... when Silvia Trench introduces herself, she says "Trench, Sylvia Trench." Bond copies saying "Bond, James Bond" for the first time and the rest is history.
I remember that, thinking to myself, "That was probably the first time he coined the phrase", which was stupid, as it was his first movie, but we're talking years later...
She is in fact finishing Bond's sentence, so she has to say her last name first, then she completes her answer with her full name, and Bond does the same replying to her:
"I admire your courage, Miss...
"Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr...
"Bond. James Bond."
THAT'S how it all started. 😊
As a young kid watching this with my family for the first time on tv, I was simply blown away by just how cool EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS! From the incredibly awesome theme music, to Andres and Connery!
they kept it simple and with a good easy pace and truly developed a classic thriller
I think the finished product was priceless and how stardom does it!
Great info about the stolen Goya. Also, "Dr. Know: 14 Things You Don't Need to No," and, "Ursula Undress!"
I think the most interesting to me, from a very interesting list, was the stolen portrait @ 8:50.
The thing is : that Goya painting turns up - in a Moore Bondmovie !!?
So I guess the made a new one ! (In one of his last 3..)
I would loved to have seen Sir Christopher Lee play Dr. No, he would have done an excellent job!
you will be able to see this soon with AI.
9:35 hahaha, omg xd Robbers just loved that painting.
Makes me wonder about today's value of the fake vs. original.
It's wonderful seeing more of Sean Connery
The unedited speech-to-text closed-captioning had me in stitches. "Dr. Nose"?
That’s one of the reasons I never fixed it. The captions add another level of entertainment.
Dr. No is my favorite Bond villain.
In my opinion, Ursula Andress is THE quintessential Bond Woman. She's the original and the rest are mere copies!
I had NO IDEA that the budget for Dr. No was $1.1 million YET it made $60 million! That's amazing for the time.
The coolest thing about this film,No Gadgets. Pretty straightforward film,thoroughly good introduction to the series.
Well done! I thought I knew a lot; always good to learn new things. Had no idea Adam's budget was that low! Those sets look spectacular even now.
@BLAIR M Schirmer
I am curious, what did you think that scene meant?
Great video! Thanks 😊 Subscribed.
They wanted Cary Grant as James Bond
2:22 "[Fleming objected to Connery because] Connery was Scottish, Bond was English, Connery came from a working-class background while Bond is upper-class, and Connery was rugged and a little rough; Bond was refined and educated. However, after seeing the finished film, Fleming changed his mind...[and] gave Bond a Scottish ancestry."
At the end of Fleming's last Bond novel, _The Man with the Golden Gun,_ Bond gets a coded message from M while recovering in Jamaica, informing that him that he is to be knighted, and asking him -- per tradition -- for his acceptance before the Queen puts her seal on it. Bond declines:
"EYE BEG YOU PRESENT MY HUMBLE DUTY TO HER MAJESTY AND REQUEST THAT EYE MAY BE PERMITTED COMMA IN ALL HUMILITY COMMA TO DECLINE THE SIGNAL FAVOUR HER MAJESTY IS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PROPOSE TO CONFER UPON HER HUMBLE AND OBEDIENT SERVANT BRACKET TO MAILEDFIST PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE APPROPRIATE WORDS TO THE PRIME MINISTER STOP EYE AM A SCOTTISH PEASANT AND EYE WILL ALWAYS FEEL AT HOME BEING A SCOTTISH PEASANT AND EYE KNOW COMMA SIR COMMA THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND MY PREFERENCE AND THAT EYE CAN COUNT ON YOUR INDULGENCE BRACKET LETTER CONFIRMING FOLLOWS IMMEDIATELY ENDIT OHOHSEVEN."
Not bad really seeing as only 2 bond actors have been english in this franchise..
It’s called “acting” Mr. Fleming!
This movie was released 57 years ago today
Sean was and still is the absolute best Bond ever!
Christopher Lee would have been a great choice!!
My favorite Bond villain.... Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera).
Though Honor Blackman is my favorite Bond lady, Ursula Andress is right up there with her. And now I can add Rosie to that list!
I concur, although I would add Daniela Bianchi (From Russia With Love) to that list of beauties.
It's the first film that I was allowed to see on my own. It's hard to express the thrill I felt when the title sequence flashed across the screen and the Bond theme prowled and thundered. An afternoon never forgotten. PS. The Goya idea was the idea of the female co-writer.
“Doctor No” Gives ample audience to the famous Bond soundtrack. Those guitars are all through the early scenes.
First saw it at a drive in theater upon its release in 1962 at a very young age and have seen every new Bond film in its initial release since at a theater. But I can't get behind a woman taking over the role of James Bond after Daniel Craig leaves the series. Just can't. RIP Sir Sean Connery. James Bond forever.
Additional music trivia. The iconic electric guitar lick was played by British studio musician Vic Flick. He played on tons of music hits and soundtracks throughout his career. You can hear virtually that same guitar sound on "Ringo's Theme" (This Boy) in A Hard Days Night.
Awesome! The Cuban missile crisis helped promote Dr. No. I think the film really didn’t need too much promoting, at least not almost starting a nuclear war.
One of my favorite dumb facts about this movie is the scene where Bond is following Quarrel and asks a woman who says "He dere" and points, which was unscripted, so she had to be given a credit because of the speaking part.
I'm surprised you didn't note that Nikki van der Zyl re-voiced the performances of both Ursula Andress and Eunice Gayson (Sylvia Trench). She also re-voiced other actresses in other James Bond films.
Surprised that you didn't mention that due to her accent, all of Andress' lines were dubbed.
The man behind the gun barrel was not an assassin. He was a would-be assassin.
7:28 This is the first time I hear that Coward didn't want the robotic hands. In everything I have read before, it says that Coward simply sent a letter back saying: "No, no, just no."
The radiation suits we're kinda ridiculous but other than that best bond movie.
I think not mentioning villain Miss Taro portrayed by the late British actress Zena Marshall is a major omission of your review. A minor character in the novel that was considerably expanded for the film...
That version of the Bond theme was literally disturbing.
I did not know the part about playing the Bond theme on a sitar.
stuntman Bob Simmons was the best.
Excellent again!
Very good video, many thanks for showing.
In the novel Andress' character came out of the water nude. So thank 60's censorship for the success of the bikini.
Yes, there could be no actual on-camera nudity, let alone full-frontal nudity, in a main-screen 1960s movie. Of course, in the novel Andress' character also had a badly-healed broken nose.
It's sexier the way it is.
I know I would have like to see that...
We need a modern remk of that scene. I bet thousands of women would be willing to play the role.

Eunice Gayson...Hot, Hot, Hot, RIP Eunice. Joseph Wiseman...Great actor. IMHO, the best Bond villain "You are just another stupid policeman...whose luck has run out." The creators of the franchise were not sure if the Bond books would be successful as movies and perhaps Dr. No would be the only film. That was 1962 and here we are.
Christopher Lee would of been an amazing Dr. No. At least he got in on the series later.
have been
I'm 57 and I'm almost positive that "Dr No" was the FIRST adult movie that I was allowed to see!😉 At the Exton Drive- In with my father.. of COURSE!😂
Hmm... you were born the year Dr. No was released, you say? I know it's a personal question, but were your parents by chance in that drive-in test audience approximately 9 months before you were born? Because there's a non-zero chance you partially owe your existence to this film as well.
Nathan Ash 😅.. ok, ok. It must have been "Goldfinger" (1967?). I remember the guy getting falling through the bridge and getting eaten by the fish!😆 "Russia With Love"? Anyway, it was a BIG DEAL..
@@christopherfritz3840 Perhaps "You Only Live Twice"? jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Piranha_tank
It may interest you to know that Fleming based Dr. No on the title character in author Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu stories, as well as on the screen characters
portrayed by Christopher Lee.
The swimsuits they offered her weren't sexy enough. So, Ursula Andress with the help of a relative (mother or sister, I can't remember) made that bikini.
Also her english wasn't that clear. Her voice was dubbed.
You should make your own youtube video. I thought I knew my James Bond movies but I didn't know Ursula and relatives made that bikini. So she should take the credit of starting that trend, which became very popular with teenage girls at the time.
@@wiseguymaybe Thanks, but I haven't the equipment nor the money for it.
But I remember that Andress was interviewed in a magazine article and she spoke about her bikini. Then in a documentary about Dr. No the director or castings agent told about her command of english and how poor it was. But she was gorgeous and they dubbed her.
Same thing with Goldfinger. The german actor could not speak in clear english, but he was an excellent antagonist for Bond. So they dubbed his voice too. Goldfinger is my favorite Bond movie, BTW.
Ursula Andress was from Bern, Switzerland
Fascinating stuff.
I love this. It's just terrific. The Bond tune history is mind blowing. What other sitar ragas might be turned into driving action film themes?
I needed to know everyone of those useless facts
Terence young gave me a typewritten paper with words on it and told me I was acting. I protested so he grabbed my shoulders from behind and frog marched me onto a marker. I'm not an actor! I was visible on set though helping keep the camera crew from falling out of the back of a very tiny italian camera car. And I was covered in motor oil. This was in Rome in the late 80s in a film in which the late david carradine starred. By the way he was very nice to me and do was his wife.
You met Terence Young?! He is my favorite director! Incredible...
It is said that Young was an extraordinarily elegant man. Did you get the same impression?
Nice post. Thank you.
Interestingly since the opening sequence is the first time you see James Bond it turns out the first person to play Bond on the movie screen is Bob Simmons, not Sean Connery (discounting the 1954 TV movie). Also, Andress was the only person to play both a Bond girl and James Bond. czcams.com/video/cE9q9cp6rH0/video.html
A gun barrell??...I always thought it was an eye...gawd!!
When I was a kid, I thought it was a camera lens.
tbh the 'rifling' in the barrel totally gives it away as a gun barrel.. no?
@@8-bitsteve500 Not really. The iris and the shutter of the camera could both have that spiral "rifling" effect. That was a new one to me as well, lol. Now I see it!!
At 12 I didn’t have any experience with firearms, but knew about rifling, so watching Goldfinger, my first Bond flick, I immediately knew it was a gun barrel.
I like your clever reverse click-bait titles.
You have 10 movies that mirrored later actual events.
A House for Mr. Biswas - one of my favourite novels, read it as an 11 year old during vacation from school. It helps because VS Naipaul was from my island in the Caribbean but preferred to be considered British... One of the reason he's not celebrated in Trinidad as the other Nobel laureates from the region.
I Love your videos !!!
Fleming wanted David Niven for Bond. Heard that on a video here about the first Casino Royale.
While Noel Coward had some great creds for straight dramatic roles as well as some satires, I don't think the audience could see him as a Bond supervillain without expecting him to send up the character. Joseph Wiseman had a wide range of roles in his career that included the Twilight Zone ("The Last Pallbearer") and on stage in the Circle in the Square's production of "Incident at Vichy" by Arthur Miller.
The sub titles are hilarious!
I love it !
Am I the only one who thinks Benedict Cumberbatch should play Dr. No if a remake was ever done?
Agree Benedict would be ideal. Great actor .
No remake
I think rami malek is playing dr no I’m no time to die
The film was photographed by Ted Moore: South Africa's first Oscar winner.
Ooooooh, big bad goldfish!
Bond, James Bond.
Connery was the coolest
@Thomas Headley random
He was my first Bond; you can never forget him.
@Thomas Headley Amorous, yet did not tell any of his lovers he had hairpiece.
@Thomas Headley
Actually, he had two small piece's for his temples, as he had a widow's peak.
Brilliant........
Dr No was a great template...Dangerman with Patrick McGoohan had many of the plots and actors of the Bond movies...my name...Drake...John Drake!!!
I only remember The Prisoner.
Ursula Undress was a gorgeous fox!
Sean Connery had beautiful eyes.
And the thick eyebrows !
In the book Dr. No was Chinese, and when the girl comes out of the ocean she is topless.
In the book i have she was fully nude...
Does not take much imagination to see her topless or nude.
In The song "I'm Mandy fly me" by 10cc. They refer to Dr No - line goes " she gave me the kiss of life like the girl in Dr No no no no "
I didn't know that song. Thanks for sharing. That'll be number 15 on the list.
@@AMillionMovies czcams.com/video/3HzJ5Rg908k/video.html
John Derek was married to Ursula Andress, Linda Evan's, and Bo Derek....in that order. There should be a medal
Awesome video! I
Connery did not have deathly fear or a phobia of spiders, he just didn't feel like having a deadly Tarantula crawling up his bare arm, hence the sheet of glass, don't blame him, and insurance wouldn't allow the lead actor to have a deadly spider crawling on him anyway!!! too risky....
Every one forgot the Sean Connery song Underneath The Mango Tree
Underneath the mango tree song
@@mikegehre570 Besides it is a classical Harry Belafonte song. The version you are refering to was coverered.
Sean Connery has released several erm songs . Not recommended listening.
The only time Connery sang in the Bond movies.
@@mikegehre570
I first heard it, not in the movie, but on an old RCA Camden record of Bond movies' songs.
Funny that you say they gave Bond Scottish ancestry in On Her Majesty's Secret Service due to Fleming liking Bond, as it was the first movie with a different actor in the part.
I thought the first Bond film was Casino Royale. 1967. David Niven.
Casino Royale was done as a television show in 1954 with Barry Nelson, but Dr. No was the first feature film.
Nope.
6:45 In the book, Rider didn't wear a bikini.
Just...... nothing.
I read the book in the 60s. I didn’t remember that factoid.
Bob Simmons had body and facial features similar todo Sean Connery, and lived Like James Bond, spending his Monet un a good live, and sharing with friends, died broke, but very loved by everybody around
Wiseman would have made a great Dracula
He was a scary looking dude for sure. He was usually cast as mobsters and various criminals.
Which drive-in in Oklahoma? I live in Tulsa which was the historic Admiral Twin, where a scene in The Outsiders takes place.
Specially how they landed in Lexington and then were in Louisville.
You never mentioned the fact that the voice of Ursula Andress was dubbed over by another actress.
Good one. I only heard that one recently. Nikki van der Zyl dubbed a lot of Bond girls.
@@AMillionMovies Gonna do more Bond films soon?
@@huntinglightning3507 I'm working on a couple of ideas. Can't decide if I go in order or if I pick may faves.
@@AMillionMovies Go with how you feel, and express it through your next video.
The dubbing was very good, too, as would be Gert Frobe's in GOLDFINGER.
One fact I would have included is that this is film that introduced Felix Leiter as Bond's American liaison. Leiter was played by Jack Lord (looking rather Kennedyesque in his sun glasses when we meet him). Lord was also supposed to reprise the role in subsequent films, but given Lord's own rugged good looks, and the fact that he was an American, the idea was dropped for fear he'd overshadow Connery. Instead, Leiter would be played by a succession of different actors thereafter.
One of the early series' dumb moves. Leiter in Goldfinger about as charismatic as a shart.
What no comment about Patrick McGoohan ? Danger man was such a hit when it came out in 1960 the James bond film was a no brainer & at one point they offered the part of bond to Patrick & he turned it down
Released in the USA as Secret Agent. Here's the theme song: czcams.com/video/bG0u3-Gbu88/video.html
I'd never heard of Danger Man but interesting; I loved Secret Agent. 007 led to a plethora of US spy shows and movies, most of them forgettable, but I Spy and Man From U.N.C.L.E were good
Danger man/ secret agent was a great show. It made Patrick McGoohan one of my favorites.
Either way it was the first movie of EON franchise, because Casino Royale from 1957 (book is from 1953) was only a telemovie for a show called as Climax, and there James Bond was american blonde and a agent of the CIA, I seen it and it was good but not real Bond yet
Interesting. Would like to see what you say about Goldfinger.
The captioning on this is hilarious!
Yeah... normally I upload my script to get the captioning 100% accurate. Didn't do that with this one, so you'll see some "Dr. Noah" references in there (among other errors). I may go back and fix those later on.
Nah man, they're brilliant! :o)
@@AMillionMovies I got a Dr. Nose from the CC😂
You left out the Number 15. One of the dancers in the "Jump Up" scene is Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records who was hired by the film crew as a fixer. Not a lot of people know that,
"I'm Pussy Galore!" "Of course you are, but what's your name?"
Me I have learned in young years that OK means ALL RIGHT watching the OLD WEST - movie WESTERN UNION ( 1941 ) directed by the immigrated Fritz Lang . " WHAT DOES THIS OK MEANS ? IT IS TELEGRAPH TALK FOR ALL RIGHT ! " a wonderfull line in the movie. - you can watch it complete on CZcams but me I also have it on DVD.
ANOTHER WORD with a much more subern mearning HOLOCAUST ( movie/TV version 1978) - miniseries. Since it came on the screen the expression itself became a synonyme for a German KONZENTRATIONSLAGER ( German concentrationcamp) as the HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL in Berlin. I say GERMAN concentrarion camp here because Neo Nazis like to confuse you by mentioning that the expression for itself was before also used for all kinds of prisoner camps in War Times.
Wait what??? Christopher Lee and Ian Fleming were cousins???
That was a new one for me too.
England is small. Everyone has a famous connexion in their family.
Second cousins I read somewhere.
It’s sad how Sean has passed away now
No we don’t want a woman to play BOND
+1
Woman?
Ha - it'll be transgender or non binary next, wait and see
It won't matter bond is already dead as it is
No im just looking lololol
I would rank of the 20 canonical Bond Films Dr No 17th
It’s probably not my number one, but I’d have it higher than that I think.
actully Ursala Andress made the bikiny by her self.
Didn't know the fake Goya also got stolen :)
The truth is they wanted Clark Gable to play bond but he refused !
No, it was Cary Grant...
Yes your right my boo boo !
Magnífica película de acción
Danke
