DR. NO - How Does the James Bond Movie That Started It All Hold Up?

- Bond, James Bond. Those three simple words are arguably the most famous in screen history, kicking off a franchise that’s lasted fifty-eight years, twenty five films and six actors in the lead and has grossed seven billion dollars to date and, arguably has shown more longevity than any other in screen history thanks to its ability to both reinvent itself for new generations and the fact that it never loses sight of what made it so popular in the first place.
So join us here at JoBlo as we look back at the history of the franchise starting with the one that started it all - Dr. No - starring a thirty-two year old Sean Connery in the role that made him one of the biggest icons of his era. And make sure to check back often as we count down all the Bond's leading up to the release of NO TIME TO DIE.

Might not hold up for most, especially modern audiences, but I absolutely love this film.
Most modern audiences are puritanical miseryguts with short memories, so who cares.
Most modern audiences are retarded
I agree, this has always been one of my favorites.
Same i love this movie one of my favorite movies of all time
Modern film is crap. I'll rewatch this over anything new.
Underrated entry. Interesting thing about DN is that the "villain holds 007 captive in pampered luxury while revealing his plans" Bond movie cliche makes logical sense in the film: Dr No is trying to _recruit_ 007.
He's a sensitive leftie reviewer with politically correct views. That's why he only gave this movie a measly six out of ten. It's worth more than that.
Sheesh!...This guys a bit hard on this great film. It's as good as the rest of the sixties bonds.
The thing is, Dr No started that damn cliché. So it wasn't a cliché for that film, even if it makes logical sense or not. So many other films/shows etc adapted this particular aspect. Not just Bond films. It's crazy.
Global evil organisations like sharing their plans openly in real life as well it seems, maybe makes them feel really smart and devious.
Did you really abbreviate Dr No to DN?
I love Sean Connery as James Bond 007. My dad said he's the best one there is.
Who cares about your dad?
What matters is your opinion.
Your dad is correct and has good taste.
Wise is your Father
Sean connery James bond my hero
Yes, and to a lot of us, with Sean Connery's Bond, we remember our fathers.
Rip Sir Sean Connery 1930-2020 one of the best film stars ever and best Bond stars.
By today's standards you could say the movie is slow for the first half, no cgi or crazy action. I don't feel that way, I think they did a good job of introducing the James Bond character along with developing the story. Films were written and made much differently at that time.
Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan are my favorite Bond’s. They are the perfect versions of the character. I think Nobody will ever top them. Dr. no is one of the best for me
Goldeneye was good. But Tomorrow Never Dies?
Anon B Answer: It’s better than Goldeneye! TND is easily Brosnan’s best. (And I’m not a big Brosnan fan. I like Dalton, Connery, and Craig ... in that order.)
@@SpiritOfBagheera If it's the one about the newspaper magnate, then it's def not. I may be getting the title muddled. The one with Sophie Marceau is pretty bad too. I used to have it on video. She's easy on the eye, but there are little things - whoever directed some of the extras needed to be shot. 😆
Agreed, they are also my favorite versions of Bond. Dr. No has always been one of my favorites of the series. I think this analysis is somewhat superficial, based on what has come to be expected of James Bond movies after 5 decades. When you consider the low- budget, I think it's a fantastic first entry into the series. It started the engines for what was to come. I think it stands strong on merits of its own.
@@dansmit491 I think my main issues with Dr No are to do with lack of budget. Also is there a bit of yellowface in there? Get the SJWs in! Only joking!
Nonetheless, Connery makes it, as do some of the supporting cast. Without him, the series would have disappeared long ago.
dr no will be 60 years old next year. thats crazy. this film is great. 8.5/10
Good review. I do think that Eunice Grayson as Sylvia Trench deserves a mention. She is the one who introduces herself as , " Trench, Sylvia Trench" thus instigating James Bond's famous introduction. She's very beautiful, and is really the first Bond girl. Appears again in "From Russia With Love".
For those interested, the film where Connery pulls off his hairpiece is from the underrated "The Man With The Deadly Lens" aka "Wrong Is Right" from 1982. Well worth a watch as it was pretty ahead of its time in regards of the role the media play with terrorism and geo-politics. It's a surprising satire that flopped at release.
My favourite part of the movie is Dr. No himself. I love the fact that we the audience don’t see him till Bond does. It heightens the mystery surrounding him and makes the reveal all the more shocking.
Peter Burton was not related to Richard Burton. RIchard's real last name was Jenkins. Plus, a little harsh on calling Dr. NO a "B" movie?. For 1962, it was "Gold". This film set the table and made Sir Sean a Big Star. Goldfinger made him even bigger.
I passed the Summer after my 15th birthday watching all the movies in order on the telly at my grandparents' summer house.
I'm a woman, by the way and I love the old movies.
Fun fact: Two Italian actors I adore appear on Spectre. I met him on the same TV show working as partners.
I just bought a newer version of the Dunhill lighter he uses.
The seller emailed me the still from the movie.
: )
Why you being a woman and you liking the old movies are related to each other lol
I'm on the 6th film now
People shouldn't complain about attitudes from almost 60 years ago
Especially when people sixty years from now will comment on the stupidities of our time. (And there are many.)
No but they will 🙄
@Dom 60? Try 6!!!
@shotonshitteo Well, they're not "woke" on the right things. If they were, they might have decent job security and freedom of expression instead of the gig economy and 'fact checking' (a euphemism for censorship) When they've headed left, they've taken a form of the left which does not benefit the masses and os bankrolled by billionaires. It's effectively been subjected to corporate takeover.
Things have always been offensive. The difference is the offended people sixty years ago didn't have the power to speak out about it.
Dr. No returning would've been the greatest Bond movie to me (if done right), since Dr. No is honestly my favorite Bond villain. He feels like an antithesis to Bond in the way he acts and talk. While Bond quips his heart away, Dr. No just looks on with empty eyes and responds with something callous. While Bond smiles knowing he can save the day, Dr. No grins with malicious intent.
Underappreciated Bond villain honestly.
As much as I love Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, the introduction of James Bond in this movie played by an incredibly suave Sean Connery is the best in movie history "Mr ?." "Bond James Bond".
I wish they would quit saying Connery was a Mr. Universe. He never was. He was a competitor and finished well down the list.
I know people aged differently 60 years ago, but Sean Connery been barely 32 in this movie blows my mind, he looks at least 10 years older.
Ironic because he lived til 90. RIP OG 007
Maybe it was the drinking and of course, the cigarettes🤔
I think Jack Lord isn’t given enough screen time, I thought he was great personally.
I do love this movie though, one of my favourite Bond films.
You're right and the maker of this video is clueless to good Bond films.
I thought that was Connery's real hair since it was long in the front for a comb over .
Remember this one persons opinion like when they rank films no one can agree .
@@speedracer1945 actually, his hair was real for Dr. No and From Russia With Love - but by Goldfinger they had to go with a hairpiece
Such an iconic movie. While yes, maybe not the best in the franchise I wouldn't necessarily call it a "glorified B-Movie". But to each their own. I live going back to this now and then and just take it all in and see where it all started. For me personally it's one of the best Bond movies ever and if it's just for the nostalgic factor. 😉 Great revisit though. Really enjoyed your take on this. 👍 Can't wait for "From Russia with Love".
It's the intro to the series. It could have easily flopped. Connery is the reason it didn't and why it's still here.
@@anonb4632 He was and will be the best Bond. It's all about being first I guess. Moore and Craig are very close though.
@@DaveKayASMR Connery was make or break for the franchise. Even if some people think Moore or whoever is better, they have to admit none of these people would get the job without Connery.
In my opinion, Moore was good, but some of his films became too cartoonish and he got some awful jokes. Lazenby is wooden but his film is pretty good. Dalton is a good actor but his Bond doesn't work for me. Brosnan is uneven (and had some horrible jokes). Craig makes a good fist of it, but some of his film plots have been convoluted, dull or pretentious.
(A shout out to the other Bonds - the one in the TV special is awful, although props for getting Peter Lorre as the villain; David Niven and Woody Allen are a bit leftfield.)
@@anonb4632 I couldn't agree more. I got to know the Bond franchise with Moore but fell in love with it with Connery. Actually way way later I realized what a gem Dr. No is. True thing with Moore having a cartoonist style to it. But also some of his movies are also most iconic for me. For Lazenby did one of my all-time favourites. Dalton's movies were pretty good imo. They all brought their own style to the character. Truth is I hated Daniel Craig in his debut. Only after Skyfall I could acknowledge him as a Bond. Don't know why though. I just wonder what/who will be next.
@@anonb4632 Absolutely
I‘ve always really liked the conversation between Bond and Dr. No at the dinner table, I think it’s really well written and both opponents appear as equally matched in terms of charisma and intellect, in my opinion at least.
The way Dr. No tries to persuade Bond to switch sides while politely threatening him is something that’s been ripped off so many times over the decades, yet rarely has another film managed to replicate it in such smooth and elegant manner.
That includes all the other Bond movies, too.
If the „Dragon“-scene would have been scratched or at least changed, this one would easily be in my Top-5 Bond films.
Good ole Sean “open handed slap to the face” Connery 😂
That's all eejits remember him for. Not his greatest moment, but he's done many good things too.
It’s crazy I saw this on my TH-cam timeline because I decided a couple weeks ago that I’m gonna watch every James Bond movie in chronological order beginning with Dr. No ...
I’m current in the Roger Moore era and just finished “The Man With The Golden Gun”
I can just imagine Connery's retort to the singing jab.
"Dammit man, I'm an shpy not a shinger!"
XD
Dr no is one of the best in the franchise. True espionage flick.
I always felt From Russia With Love was the best Bond film until Casino Royal came along. Just a clever scheme by Spectre to get Bond to steal a decoding device for them and subsequently kill Bond and blacken M16's reputation. The most realistic and has perhaps Bond's best antagonist ever, played by Robert Shaw and that classic fight on the train.
From Russia with love and Goldfinger are the Sean Connery movies I love the most
@JoBlo Videos: This was a great trip down memory lane again. You have a revealed interesting details that I had missed before. I have watched all the bond films countless times, thank you for the great editorial. 😁👌👍
Thanks Joe Blow! During Bond Covid 19 delays, it’s fun to look back at the franchise . Nice trivia on the Richard Burton brother part! I had no idea!
Thanks for the excellent preview Mr. Chris
I really appreciate Joblo Videos taking on a film by film Bond review as another Sean Connery tribute. The reviews are thoughtful, detailed, and I enjoy hearing how Joblo’s opinions compare with mine. Thanks Joblo Videos! I look forward to the rest in the Bond series. ⭐️🌎💪🏽🇺🇸🙋🏻♀️🍾😎💄👁🕵🏻♀️🚘🚠🚀
Great job on the video, I'm a huge Bond fan and there is a lot of info i had never heard before, thanks a bunch.
So gutted this is only a week old!!! Iv been waiting on some1 2 do this properly with all th old 1s!!! Gonna subscribe!!
Nice, I just rewatched this myself yesterday 👍
Just found your 007 series. Starting from 1962 babyyy. Thanks for giving some love to the greatest action hero of all time. Goddamn I love Bond.
If you love Bond then check my channel out 😁
"Do you expect me to revisit the James Bond movies?
No Mr Bond I expect you to watch them
Dr No is when the world fell in love with Sean Connery as James Bond
James Bond revisited, a Dream come true!!!!!!
I like Dr. No, of course it is cheesy by today's standards but when ever it is on TV I stick to it.
Overall a '6' is a solid number.
Holds up for me just fine, thank you. If your criticism of the Dr. No character is that he is a 'comic' book character then, well, which ones aren't? Dr. No is still the best Bond villain in one of the best Bond movies.
Agreed
Oh please keep making these!
I think it's really cool that Sean was "Mr. Universe" (back in the day)!! Can you IMAGINE the stories that old man must've had to tell in his older years?!? Being "Mr. Universe", playing "Bond" several times, and generally being one of the most sought after actors in history!! All that, along with all the traveling he must have done through the years... Had to have been wild for the ones who knew him personally, to look back on his life, as he verbally glossed over the memories of a bygone time, and shared the experiences of a life that only the likes of someone like "Christopher Lee" could probably contend with!! We miss you Sean Connery!! R.I.P.!!🙏
When Spectre was released I rewatched all the movies in order, Dr No might not be as polished as later movies but they were trying to figure out how to portrait a Bond that would sell tickets, it didn't take many movies though.
Keep this series goin!
Great review!
Should’ve rated Silvia Trench too. She’s absolutely gorgeous
Who else is as excited as me to see mr. bumbrays take on all of the bond films. I have watched many retrospectives on the series and prolly would skip another one if it wasnt from joblo. Im pumped lets go!
Barry Neilson also played the co-pilot in Airport with Dean Martin
FYI, The band in the film and that offered much of the old school Ska music was Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, not the Kingston Trio, which was a 1960's white pop group from San Fransisco and has nothing to do with Jamaican music.
Love this movie :)
I used to love it as a kid. Decent rewatch nowadays however, as the rest of the series does wonders over it.
Major Boothroyd offered the Walther PPK as a replacement for Bond's Beretta 950, which had jammed previously at a most inopportune moment.
As a 70's kid, Roger Moore is my favourite bond. I know, it's ultra goofy but I just love that shit. With Jaws and the tobacco chewing sheriff and wot-not lol.
IMHO Honey is very nicely rounded...
intr no one speaks of that Sir Roger Moore was on the list of Broccelis to play bond, but was doing saint.
Since this was the first James Bond movie I saw, it will always remain as the very best one. The scenes in Jamaica are so realistic and not overdone. But Dr. No’s lair was from sure over the top and silly. But the characters all look and feel as exotic as they should be.
Jack Lord was one of the best Felix Leiters, imo.
I love that they couldn't afford the big fish tank, so they used blown-up footage of small fish (cheaper than footage of big fish) and wrote a magnifying fish tank explanation into the script.
This movie fucking rules.
Dr. No and the entire James Bond franchise is officially 60 years old!!!
I think my dad was a teenager when it first started
At first the American representatives at United Artists had no faith the late Sean Connery could pull it off but the rest is history
He only did one Disney film featuring leprechauns
Quite the gamble bringing the first Ian Fleming novel to the screen
This forever changed the genre of action movies and gave us one of the most long lasting signature lines in cinema
The novel's already sold big in the UK
Turns out in the book the character of Bond is arguably somewhat underdeveloped, which is perfect for the reader to imagine themselves in the role
But for a film, James Bond had to become more defined, and crucially, relatable
Can't really write the books in todays climate considering all the machismo and omnipresent sexism plus smoking is a no-no considering the many health risks involved and not wearing seatbelts or having airbags
At the time Jamaica was already a British crown colony too
The movie rights to James Bond eventually were snatched up by producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli
The movie opened under the radar in the states at a drive in in Texas and Oklahoma but the reactions were ecstatic
Joseph Wiseman makes for a great first villain being the basis for all 25 films and Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder would set the standard for Bond girls to come redefining the femme fatale
I’m so grateful my late father was a fan because if not I wouldn’t be either
And this put Sean Connery on the map
9:45, love Q and his wacky gadgets.
Peter Burton is not Richard Burtons Brother, Burton's real name is Richard Jenkins poor research.
Some say that Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" is a proto-Bond film.
5:30, Jack Lord, of Hawaii Five-0.
Super.
Dr no my favorite bond film of all time and sean connery the only james bond
Very cool I hope you also do Her Majesty's Secret Service the George Lazenby Bond film....
Honestly, Sean carried this movie on his back. The murder of Professor Dent was Bond at his coldest, and while pretty much every other aspect of the movie is so silly and the effects are at their poorest, it had to begin somewhere, and Sean Connery was the perfect start.
Personally I think Jack Lord was the best Felix Leiter ( with Jeffrey Wright a close second), and rivaled Sean as far as screen presence goes IMO.
Best Bond.
❤ James bonds date with secretary, best part of movie& card games
Peter Burton was NOT Richard Burton's brother. Richard Burton was born Richard Walter Jenkins, Jr. He had five brothers: Ifor, Graham, David, Verdun, and Tom. Otherwise, fantastically informative video.
I would have never known that Sean Connery wore a toupee in the Bond films if you guys had not mention it. So what he wore a toupee? He looked great.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe 😉
I’m sorry but you’re wrong about Jack Lord as Felix Leiter. His character performance was so suave and calm compared to Sean Connery’s Bond serious and focused performance in this film, that Jack Lord actually inspired the Bond character to be suave & calm too in the series. A lot of fans don’t realize this though. I learned this myself watching “Being James Bond” Dr. No review on TH-cam.
Watched this month or two ago first time id seen since i watched as a kid 25 years ago. Holds up well overall, ine of the better nond movies imo but i view the connery OG ones as the best particularly the first 3.
Are we sure Peter Burton was Richard Burton's brother? My internet research tells me otherwise.
It is a product of it's time, but It is enjoyable.
I actually like Jack Perry as Leiter. He was as smooth as Connery was.
Everyone identifies the Aston Martin DB5 and the Walther PPK with 007. But in Dr. No he drives a Sunbeam Alpine and prefers a Beretta. M takes it away and makes him use the Walther.
Peter Burton was not Richard Burton's brother
What typeface is used for the credits? Amazing
Quarrel was an excellent character. We really need to get past this nonsense of looking at everything from 50+ years ago through the eyes of the year 2020
We wouldn't be looking at things from +50 years ago through the lens of 2020 if those things weren't still happening in 2020, my guy.
We need to look back at history and be critical, it's what's gonna make us grow and move forward.
@@miss_conduct. Nothing wrong with being critical, my guy. In fact, I agree. But we have to accept that the past happened. At the moment there's a constant push to delete the past and hide everything. If you do that, then what will be left to see, or read, or listen to in order to learn from? All that will happen is we'll end up making all the same mistakes again. Things have to be seen in context of their own time too.
Very good overview and review of Dr. No. You may have forgotten one point. It is the only Bond film to have nudity, not with any of the actresses, I've seen it umpteen times and notices on cable the nudity, not blotted out!, this is Quarrel's boat, in his boat on the walls there are topless photos of women!
I am taking this journey with you
Umm Jeffery Wright also played Felix Leiter and has had an amazing career.
The first movie but the fifth novel
Its hard to describe how exited i am for this Bond review series.
If from Russia With Love doesn't get a 10/10 on the next review, I dont know what will. Personally, I think its the best bond movie of all time.
I think so as well. However, it's a really a toss up between that and Goldfinger. For me anyways.
Dude, it's Byron Lee and the Dragonaires- not the bloody Kingston Trio.
7:35, SPECTRE!
Love this series but turn UP THE VOLUME!!!! Richard Burton was considered 3 times for Bond. He would have been fantastic, I'm also Welsh by the way, but I love Sean Connery.
i always felt the spider scene was overplayed, tarantulas arent poisonus, just let it be, and when its not on you, grab it by the "butt" and place it outside (the butt is super soft, so if you toss it it will most likelt kill it)
props to dr no for eventually giving us dr evil
if revist the whole series at least another 25 videos to do sounds like a beast of burden
4:57, I love the old school gunbarrel.
RIP Sean Connery
Am I the only one who wonders why the gun barrel bleeds from the inside? Does Bond shoot through it or was the villain holding it pressed to his body?
Sean Connery was never Mr. Universe. Do you do any research?
He didn't win but did participate in said contest. I leave this comment here if anyone else wants to clear up the confusion
Wasn't much for Sean Connery in the Bond films... Roger Moore was definitely my go to secret agent at the time, before GoldenEye, of course.
I like Moore, but he did some awful Bond films. Live and Let Die is one of my favourites and View to a Kill great (despite his age), but then you have to weigh it up against Octopussy and Moonraker, which again have some great actors in them but have some truly horrific jokes and sequences in them.
11:08 *!*
6:33, what movie was that From!!? Lol!
"It's not a great film..." Let me stop your right there. It's easy to dismiss this film through an anachronistic lens and go for its faults, but apart from the fact that it is the very first James F-ing Bond movie, it's also just a really atmospeheric, well made, (by now) period spy thriller. It's Bond before it became BOND, before it became a formulaic franchise. Your quarrel with Quarrel is also a little forced. Yes, I'll admit, the "fetch my slippers" bit wrings a little, but if you know Bond as a character a little he could have easily said the same thing to some white flunky. Other than that there's something to be said for a mainstream "Hollywood" movie in 1961 to feature a black character that has his own agenda and agency. He is not simply the "servant" character you make him out to be.
Finally, the soundtrack is great, since it features locally sourced Jamaican music, just before Jamaica became a synonym for reggae/ska/rocksteady a few years later. It has early calypso and mento music in there, and tracks like "Twisting With James" are just great. It is too a great movie, just don't expect a "Bond" movie.
It's a pretty good movie but I wouldn't say Great. It has terrible pacing and some very juvenile scenes.
On your comments about Jack Lord and Rick Van Nutter being the "dullest" Felix Leiter's, I disagree. Continue.
