A respectable start for 007...

The first Bond epic is a little rough around the edges in spots (for instance, notice how the Bond theme accompanies even the most mundane of actions, such as Bond lighting a cigarette). But it remains very watchable, and is actually one of the more violent installments in the series, even by contemporary standards.

Sean Connery, of course, is the best of all possible Bonds, and right from his first appearance assumes command of the role with a suave sex appeal and tough masculinity that nobody else (not even Brosnan) has been able to surpass. One thing about this movie that I really liked is the fast-paced editing (courtesy of Peter Hunt). That, and its relatively brief running time (only Goldfinger is shorter, I believe, whereas many of the later Bonds would run on and on far too long, proving that less is sometimes more) make this one of the leaner, more effective Bond films.

Ursula Andress, with her memorable entrance as she rises out of the water like some Greek goddess, sets the standard for the countless beauties who would follow. Joseph Wiseman, as Dr. No, is not really seen until well into the second half, and this works to the movie's advantage, allowing the tension to build as we wonder exactly who this guy is, who is able to put such fear into his subordinates and others. Wiseman delivers a performance that is low-key yet chilling.

Jack Lord is the first and best Felix Leiter (one of my gripes about the Bond series is the treatment of Leiter, who seems to be played by a different actor each time he appears -- and they're not all of the same caliber). The movie was made on a relatively small budget, but it doesn't show.

Dr. No is a superior entertainment, both a respectable start to the adventures of 007 and actually far superior to many of the episodes that would follow.
