Product Description

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

First Bond Classic need I say more? It was a good place to start and the best spy movie for the time it was released.

It's funny how the James Bond movies never seem to show their age! I had this in the VHS format and I wanted to replace it with a DVD because my VHS's were starting to fade. So glad I did because they have re-mastered these to give them crisp and clear images and great sound. If you're a Bond fan, you'll want to add this to your collection

THOUGH IT STARTED THE PHENOMENA. SAY NO TO THE DR.
Being a James Bond fan for over 20 years I view each installment with an impartial eye. Although Dr. No began the series it pales in comparison to the subsequent films. Read more
