Dr. No is the landmark 1962 British spy film that officially launched the enduring James Bond film franchise. Starring Sean Connery in his debut as the suave MI6 agent 007, the movie sets the template for the decades of espionage, action, and glamour that would follow.
The plot sees Bond sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of a fellow agent, a mission that ultimately leads him to the mysterious Crab Key island lair of the titular villain, Dr. Julius No (Joseph Wiseman), a SPECTRE operative plotting to disrupt the American space program.
The film is famous for establishing iconic Bond elements, including his introduction (“Bond, James Bond”), the signature Walther PPK, the witty banter with Miss Moneypenny, and the unforgettable emergence of Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) from the sea.
Dr. No was a huge commercial success, cementing 007 as a global cultural phenomenon. Take a look at these vintage photos to see portraits of Sean Connery and Ursula Andress during the filming of Dr. No in 1962.
