It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

When 1962 the first James Bond film came on the big screen, no one had expected the success of the legendary agent to survive for so many years.
I also have to admit that this agent is my favorite hero. He is always on the move, visits different parts of the world, always has the most beautiful women around him and can kick the villains in the ass.
The start of this legend is captured Famos by Oscar winner Sean Connery. A smart guy with a lot of British charm (though Connery is Scot), always looks elegant, is very world-class and can radiate masculine hardness in serious situations. Certainly it is also a male worldview of men in the early 60s, but Connery hits the nail on the head.
Of course, there is no such thing as the sensual Playmate of James Bond: Ursula Andress! How it rises from the sea is simply stunning! (not only because I'm also a Swiss). But it adorns the typical Bondgirl of the Connery era: beautiful and vulnerable. But can be very tough in difficult moments.
Joseph Wiseman mimes the first Bond villain Dr. No. With his elegant and dry way, he wants to subjugate the nations of the Earth. Certainly he is also only a chess figure, but can already offer Bond's forehead. Dr. No is dry, devilish and deadly and always with a goal in front of the eyes: World domination!
Certainly, the first Bond adventure is still timidly implemented. The action and the effects are cheap. But it sets the genre or franchise the stamp on how the adventure of the British agent should go on.
Conclusion: A successful start that still plays with the handbrake. There is still a need to improve. But I certainly have no doubts about James Bond 007!

I wanted to watch the 1962 James Bond film "Dr. No." The link for "Watch Now" is, instead, to an 11-minute video on the making of the film. At best, this is an error. At worst, this is bait-and-switch.

Movie Review: "007: Dr. No" (1962)Little did they know about the Zeitgeist, when teaming-up New York City based investor Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) and Canadian producer Harry Saltzman (1915-1994) optioned Ian Fleming's spy novel "Dr. No" published in 1958 to realize a fairly budgeted independent action movie, introducing the character of James Bond in her majesty's secret service, performed by 31-year-old Sean Connery.The 1st Bond presents itself in a highly entertaining mood directed by competent and able director Terence Young (1915-1994). The main character needs to investigate murders of governmental members on the island to Jamaica, exposing an underground oragnization that will shake up the worldwide secret service for years to come.The picture is modestly produced with a 1.1 Million Dollar budget, yet brings style, grace and elegance to the screen in the all time famous casino scene with Sean Connery lighting a cigarette while playing Black Jack with the antagonist's mistress, later to expose as the daring scientist Dr. No, when James Bond learns his trade by going locally undercover with hotel employees, a fisherman and bartenders.James Bond meets constantly changing love interests, this time in shape of actress Ursula Andress, portraying a female shell diver named "Honey" stepping out of water at a remote beach side, marking the first iconic visual in a smash hit motion picture from the 1960s, which secured the producers production company Danjaq LLC and build an instant classic spy action movie series.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend

Having completed my look at Clint Eastwood's acting Filmography, I have decided to move on to the legend that is Sir Sean Connery. Dr.No (1962)Plot In A Paragraph: James Bond (Sean Connery) a resourceful British government agent seeks answers in a case involving the disappearance of a colleague. Our introduction to 007 is classic Bond. The first shot of him was at the gaming tables, only his fingers and the cards are visible, followed by a close up of his face as he lit a cigarette as the soundtrack played his signature tune. Agent 007, licensed to kill, but not be killed, thought all villains single-handedly, surviving bullets, water, fire and even electricity. He was a comic strip hero, a Superman or a Captain America. An immensely good-looking and immensely well groomed 1930s hero updated to the 1960s. He was cool, sharp and cunning. Thoroughly professional at all times, fast with his gun, nifty on his feet, nifty in bed, and always had time for sex, even if he was about to be murdered. He was the sort of hero who made love to a woman just before he handed over to the police. And with his tongue firmly in his cheek Connery played him perfectly. Jospeh Wiseman played the title character very coldly, but he doesn't leave much of an impression. Unlike Ursula Andres as Honey Rider. The original 'Bond Girl' and one often most imitated. In my youth, I spent many an hour, slowly pausing the radio active shower scene on video (long before DVD made this process much easier) hoping to catch it just right, to see if she was really nude or not. Oh the memories.Sadly the movie has not aged well, the fight scenes often look clumsy, over rehearsed and at worst poorly co-ordinated. On a $1.1 million budget, Dr. No grossed $16 million at the domestic box office, to end 1963 as the 9th highest grossing movie of the year.
