The first Bond film: Dr No (1962)


The first Bond film is Dr No from 1962, one of my top favorite Bonds.

Immediately following the credits, the film introduces three suspicious characters - all blind - and then there's a murder. Two murders, in fact.  The setting is Jamaica, and Bond is called in to investigate.

With help from CIA agent Felix Leiter, Bond learns of a mysterious nearby island - Crab Key - where people go... and never come back.

What transpires on the island is part of the mystery that continues to unfold until the very end.

I love the villain, Dr. No and his lair, which includes a giant window with a thick glass that magnifies the fish. The sets are so cool in this film.

Overall, I love this movie, and look forward to another viewing soon with the commentary track on.
