With DR. NO, the first of the James Bond OO7 films, director Terence Young and leading man Sean Connery set the precedent for what would become one of the most popular, influential, and long-lasting series ever made. Bond makes his first famous introduction, "Bond, James Bond," in an upscale casino, to a saucy brunette named Slyvia Trench (Eunice Gayson), who he promptly coaxes into a dinner date. Back at Secret Service Headquarters, M (Bernard Lee) assigns Bond to a mission in Jamaica. An agent who was investigating strange activity with nuclear weapons in Cape Canaveral has disappeared, and Bond is to take up where he left off. His contact, CIA operative Felix Leiter (Jack Lord) reminds Bond that his title, "007," means he has license to kill, not be killed. This advice comes in handy in Jamaica as assassins relentlessly emerge from the woodwork, desperately trying to bring Bond down. Bond makes his way to Crab Key Island to find evil scientist Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman), the primary suspect. There he is met with the obstacle of Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), a deadly beauty who emerges from the sea in a tiny bikini with a knife holster slung about her hips, in one of the most seductive Bond-girl moments of all time. With a striking lack of gadgets, DR. NO is a heartier mystery than subsequent films in the series, providing for some excellent adventures in which Bond must rely on his own clever spy skills to get out of sticky situations.Read full review
What can you say about a movie that lauched a franchise that's lasted almost 50 years? This movie- Dr. No capitalized on the James Bond craze(Ian Fleming's 007 novels were best sellers at that time)and proved to be a lauching pad for Sean Connery's carrer. Great script,great casting(Sean Connery IS James Bond),as well as great direction. Anyone who hasn't seen it should do so immediately!. As for the print this has gone through extensive restoration(frame by frame) and looks as good as it did at the time of release!The extra's give you a look at the creation process(with archival and newer interviews) and flush out the picture of how this classic movie came to be--
Don't try to compare this to the whomping punches and action packed films of today. The original bond was not a super hero, nor did he seem like a super spy. Mild mannered but debonair, Sean Connery plays the role with style and can I say a touch of misogyny too? A fun film that entertains but as I said before, don't expect much of a thrill ride.

I think this is the first episode of James Bond series. I watched this film several times in the past, and I always thought the screenplay was rather silly. Yet, the film was fairly entertaining. I purchased this DVD in order to fill the gap in my James Bond collection. I believe it was worth the price I paid.
