| Q-Branch HQ Review: Dr. No, the first Bond movie, begins the series off with a bang. Sean Connery's wonderful acting along with Ken Adams' set designs and the amazing locations, are amazing. Since it was made in the early 60's, the movie is no doubt lo-tech, however it is still entertaining. Q-Branch Rating: 6.136/10 Click Here for the break-down of the rating. |
| Movie Summary: Bond's mission takes him to Jamaica where mysterious energy waves are interfering with U.S. missile launches. With the help of crack CIA agent Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), the beautiful Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) and native Jamaican Quarrel (John Kitzmuller), he searches for the headquarters of Dr. No, a fanatical scientist who is implementing an evil plan of world domination. Only James Bond, with his combination of wit, charm and skill, can confront the madman and save the human race from a horrible fate. Portions of summary from JamesBond.com |

| Locations: London; in and around Kingston, Jamaica; the island of Crab Key. Bond's Girls: Sylvia Trench, Miss Taro and Honey. Gadgets: Bond's new 7.65mm Walther PPK ("the American CIA swear by them"), and a rather clunky Geiger counter that Bond uses to prove that there is something afoot on Crab Key. The very first "Bond...James Bond" is one of the most famous sequences in the film, as we see Connery for the first time during his game of Chemin de Fer against Sylvia Trench. Bond Bits: Bond has used a Beretta for ten years and has never missed with it but he has just spent six months in hospital after his Beretta jammed on a previous job (in the novels this was an event seen in "From Russia With Love"). This leads to M replacing the Beretta with the Walther PPK. Bond has not heard of SPECTRE before Dr No tells him about it. We see Bond's flat for the first of only two occasions in the series (the other is in Live And Let Die). His tailor is in Saville Row. Information from the Bond Film Informant Click Here |
