Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the US government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying US rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of Bond women who know how to please their favourite secret agent. A sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
The first 007 film. Whilst investigating the strange goings-on in Jamaica, James Bond, a secret agent, uncovers a plot to conquer the world. Master criminal Doctor No becomes the chief suspect...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 13 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Let's face up to facts here, well lets face up to popular opinion. You can have whatever opinion you want of Dr. No but in my opinion it reminds me what Bond really should be according to Ian Fleming, a suave secret agent that relies upon his resourcefulness and not high tech gadgetry, okay so we all love the gadgets but I think that Bond was intended to survive with only his wits and Walther to protect him. Not enough of the main Baddie but hey, lot's of Sean Connery. A damn good film, forget about what the special effects look like, it doesn't depend on them unlike now for today's consumerist audience. Convoluted plot, exotic locations and one of the best looking Bond girls ever. Buy now, BUY NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bond as he should be, 27 Aug 2006
By Mr. P. J. R. LEWIS (Llandudno N Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
With the first installment of Ian Flemings classic spy drama we are introduced to Sean Connery who made the role of James Bond his own and is prabably recognised as the best man in the role.

Even though the sets and backdrops are pretty spectacular in the first film you can clearly see that caution has played a part.Cubbi Broccoli and Harry Salzman realised the popularity of the Fleming novels but first time out as a film was an unknown quantity,would there be a sequel to Dr No.
Naturally the audience loved the celluloid Bond and Connerys presence as the suave and sophisticated spy who no woman could resist was a formula made in heaven.

The skill of both directors and that memorable score made the movies the biggest money makers in movie history,they proved so popular that prabably up to Connerys last outing in Diamonds are Forever there was not a bad film amongst them.

The first five are the best with From Russia with Love being the most realistic in the series.Goldfinger and Thunderball are prabably the best of the entire series and after From Russia the spending spree on more lavish locations and sets became the norm.
With the introduction of the more tounge in cheek humour of Roger Moore the plots became certainly more lavish but less realistic as spy movies,they knew they were onto a winning formula so the sparkle and professionalism of the Connery years had gone.

These superb editions released by United Artists pack a real punch with simply superb commentaries and carefully chosen extras,which ever is your favorite movie there is a commentary to do it justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most stylish film ever made, 4 Jul 2002
Dr. No is not only the best Bond film but also the greatest film ever made and being the shortest Bond film to date I disagree with the reviews suggesting it is slow-paced. It oozes style thanks to the influence of Fleming, the neat directing talents of Young and the perfect performance of Connery. The Jamaican location is exotic, the villain is original and Ursula Andress is gorgeous. The DVD is fully loaded including a stunning commentary featuring about thirty members of the cast and crew.
