I was born in 62 in the Far East. HA! I'm 62 today. Just realised it. My father used to take me to see the Bond films. My first was Thunderball. As a young bot I was terrified of Sean Connery cos he was no nonsense man and strict. Fast forward 30 years and found myself in America and in motion picture business. I was fired as a PA cos others ganged up on me complaining that I refused a walkie talkie. I hated my English, my accent and embarrased by it so screw walkie talkie. But A KIND 2nd AD somehow rehired me to be an Assistant. To? SEAN CONNERY. Sean specifically stated he did not want a personal costumer, security, publicist or a driver. But somehow I just followed Sean and just be with him for whatever he needed. It was a glorious 4 months. RISING SUN. MrConnery passed away on my birthday. We are in a curious way linked forever Rest In Peace Sir

I lived on Long Island back then. My friends and I were astonished after seeing Dr. No, seeing a great cast and an exciting story. When Bond shot the man who had shown up to kill him, nobody I knew expected what happened. After the Goldfinger film, several of us wore suits and tried vodka martinis. A great series and a great Bond actor.

I do not miss the days when trailers showed you the entire movie.

I was ten years old when I saw this first in our neighborhood movie theater. I fell in love with 007 movies that day and have been ever since. Sean Connery will always be THE James Bond. All the others are just stand-ins. This is a highly interesting look at how they made films back in the day.

Wordsmith - This is bloody marvelous - deserving of a million views from grateful Bond fans everywhere. Very many thanks, Allan

The nuts and bolts that make up a classic motion picture. Bravo. Takes me back to when everyone wanted to be a secret agent.

Dr. No and Goldfinger are my favorites in the series. I love the behind the scenes look

I was 15 and couldn't stop talking about the film to everybody. I met.

I love all these “behind the scenes” films and photos of “Dr. No”. It’s one of my all-time favorite Sean Connery/James Bond films.

Miss Jamaica 61. ❤

The three Bond films that started the series are my personal favorites. Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger in that order. After that, the gadgets started taking over and the raw masculine element in the Bond character started taking a back seat to all the toys he had to use.

The first Bond Movie I saw was Thunderball. Born in 1953, I had entered secondary school in 1964. In Trinidad, all movies had to pass a Board of Censors. Dr No was passed for 14 years and over. This was indicated on the Cinema page of the newspapers. All my school friends of my age were chatty about having seen Dr No. My religious Parents who followed the rules precisely, forbade me from going to see the movie. There were 2 cinemas close to where I lived. A movie only spent a few weeks at a cinema before it was moved. Now, every time I wanted to see a Bond movie, it was always beyond my age. Gold finger was passed for 18 years and over. We live in modern times. A youth of today cannot imagine what it was like in those times. 😮

Sean still sounded a bit rough in Dr No By the time he starred in Goldfinger (the same year he starred in Hitchcock’s Marnie), he already had become so elegant in his delivery of speech and performance

Well, done! This is quite a unique look inside the process; much more insider detail of the daily process than any typical "behind the scenes" look. Likely more recognized and appreciated by those of us who work/worked in the industry, but I like that folks that do not get a deeper look. Thanks for this. If you have others, I'd love to see them.

Thank you. Love this sort of Film Buff. Thanks

I was 12 when this came out, and my mother dropped my off at the theater... having no idea the film probably wasn't quite suitable for pre-teens. I loved it!!!

That grey suit, the blue shirt and the Rolex, the best stylish outfit ever.

This was a very interesting video. It helped me learn a lot of new things about this scene: - I didn't know that Quarrel was the guy who drove Felix's car - I missed that the photographer was hanging around in the background of some of the other scenes - Similarly, I missed that she had a conversation with Mr. Jones - Never realised that the shots of the plane and control tower shots were stock footage

'62, a perfect year all around.

I saw the movie when it came out and went into shock. I had never seen anything like it. Years later, my late wife was Broccoli;s 5th grade teacher.

The sets are stars as well in this movie

The movie that turned my life into vibrant colors... I was 9 ❤

I’ve seen dr no many times and never noticed that Quarrel was the driver.

We've LOVED visiting all these spots on our hosted Jamaica Bond tours!

This was VERY interesting - more please!

That photographer girl was stunning!

good video….the highlight here is the trailer at the end. Never saw it before, the voice overdubs from Connery were a crack-up. That trailer gave away so much of the movie….crazy!

August 1962, we lowered the Union Jack n became an Independent nation with our own BLACK, GREEN n GOLD flag….Jamaica, we likkle but we tallawah…Ian Fleming’s home is still there in Jamaica….he wrote the books there…

1962 DR.NO started the famous franchise . 1962 Ringo joined The Beatles .

Great video really gives a flavour of the nuts and bolts of film making. I got a kick out of the fact that I read years ago the first day’s filming at Pinewood Studios for Dr No was Monday 26th February 1962, which was the day I was born.

Dr. No was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was 5. Years later I found 3 Bond novels around the house - LIVE AND LET DIE / OHMSS / and CASINO ROYALE. I was confused because Fleming described Bond as looking somewhat like Hoagy Carmichael. In my mind as I read all 14 novels, though I tried, I had trouble envisioning Connery. Connery was by far the best Bond, but when I saw the Timothy Dalton movies, I thought he was the guy who mostly resembled what my adolescent mind had envisioned. But certainly never Hoagy Carmichael - who strangely looks like Fleming himself.

In 1963, I worked in the middle of nowhere at a test site learning Radiation Safety (a contradiction in terms). The whole place was highly contaminated and dangerous. The work environment was scary enough, but if someone had the foresight to build a sign that flashed, “ABANDON AREA,” everybody would have quit.

My second favorite bond film, after only the GOAT. Goldfinger

You can tell it was shot out of order, at "slate 9, take 5, Jack Lord gets a light from the car, when just a few minuets ago, he lit up with his own pocket lighter on the mezzanine in the airport. LOL Great stuff, by far one of the best films of all time, and the series. So hard to believe this was filmed when I was a year old.

Sean Connery was James Bond. Everyone else who played James Bond was just actors.

❤THIS MOSTLY ENTERTAINING ,INCREDIBLE MOVIE FRANCISE LONG LIVE BOND,JAMES BOND!!😊😊😊😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Sweet Jamaica

Enjoyed it. It was my introduction to JB as a kid. The licking of the bulb was a brilliant touch of malevolent intent.

The day I was born.

In the Harvard Lampoon's Ian Fleming/ James Bond parody book "Alligator" (1962), Quarrel was renamed "Squabble". It is fun read.

Fascinating video!

Jamaica gained independence 7 months after the shooting here.

Also a wonderful lesson in both filmmaking and screenwriting from a great movie

That's was a fun watch - subscribed!

Never thought about them removing glass to avoid camera reflection. Thanks for that detail.

Yeshhh! 👍

In Japane the title for 'Dr. No' wound up being called 'We Don't Want a Doctor!' (in Japanese).

*007*(philipines) Sean Connery was the best bond James bond of all time

Wow I love this detail of the film management! It’s an extraordinary story more interesting than the film!

Please, please, set one about “The Man with the Golden Gun” too!! Really appreciated!

This is an excellently watchable video and topic.

you know its a shame connery isnt here to see this, as it would have been fun to see his input and have him reminice about this lol

Recently saw some " on set " pics taken during the shoot . Really fascinating .!

That was excellent !

My favorite Bond film . It establishes bond as ruthless, he told the guy who tried to kill him, "You've had your six" then just kills him, and when he wanted to go out but the girl insisted they stay in he kinda sulks, it's the little things i like , btw they never should have killed felix , they could have done an American "Bond" with him being the central charactor .

The best true Bond aficionado video I have seen. And I have watched quite a few!

Very interesting, thanks!

Sean Connery will always be THE James Bond. I only like the first 4 Bond movies, & OHMSS.. Owing to Diana Rigg.

I watched this vid never thinking I'd really like it all that much. I was wrong. This is interesting to me even though Dr. No is a middling JB movie for me (I like it but it's not anywhere near my favorite). Hoping there'll be more like this.

fascinating and very informative to a Bond fan

I enjoyed this video.

Enjoyed that.

If you watch to the end, notice how the original trailer gives away so many big moments in the film - I mistakenly thought this was more of a modern trend in trailers.

More please!

4:28. Elizabeth Montgomery: pre-Bewitched.

What I notice in the Bond/chauffeur scene was the 1960 Cadillac in the background with collapsed air bag suspension in the rear with the front end hiked up. Pity those poor buyers of those cars!

Love this video

forever my favourite well done duncan

Sean for me was my ‘bond’. Not because he was the first but I still ❤everything about the 60’s as a decade(I was born in 1965) I have enjoyed watching this video and to learn more about ‘behind the scenes’. In a number of interviews Sean gave back in the day he mentioned how long filming ran over on each one, saying 6 months spent on YOLT. That meant he could not give first call to other films. I read a book a few years ago written by Robert Sellers about Broccoli and Saltzman and I feel at the end it was not WHAT THEY KNEW about making films BUT WHO THEY KnEW Like Ken Adam Would be interested in watching similar on the other 4 films 👍 👍 😍😍❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is a great video. Amazing to see how it was filmed. Is it just me or did older film cameras like these used here have more atomsphere? Maybe an expert could explain.

A great and informative video. Thanks Paul

I don't like Sean Connery, James Bond, or spy films, but this was still fascinating. The trailer shown at the end was bad though, that had everything I don't like in Bond. 😂 Bond fans will love it.

M sends his regards.

Thanks for the great video! I was in Jamaica as a 3 year old kid between the 19 - 21st Jan 1962 with my parents. We stayed in Courtleigh Manor Hotel before flying to Belize. Mum told me I fell in the deep end of the pool and was rescued by one of the cast. To this day I don't now if it was a goody or a baddy who saved me.

The Bonds were very clear sighted in the first three films. Bond’s character is perfectly shaped in Doctor No, From Russia and Goldfinger. Then came Thunderball which l think is an over edited big budget mess - they obviously got a bit giddy with the money but it probably didn’t help with the McClory producer battle…..A lot of discipline and clear sightedness went out the door after Goldfinger. The films never really got it back.

That was very interesting.

Scorchio loved that well interesting😀

Nicely done Paul Duncan, I really enjoyed that. Thunderball would be a good one 😉

Jack Lord could have been Felix Leiter in the subsequent Bond films, he could have been a regular character, but Jack Lord demanded equal billing with Sean Connery and equal pay, he also wanted Felix Leiter to have more involvement in the stories, basically he wanted the films to be a double act, Leiter and Bond....Broccoli was already annoyed with Jack Lord for turning up late for the first day of filming , combined with his demands, he dropped him from any future involvement on Bond films..and so the convention of different actors playing Felix came about.

Excellent!!!

I like the movie, but I was spoiled by the fact that I read the novel before I saw it. As a result, whenever the movie DEVIATES from the book, I feel it suffers terribly. Like the pipe Bond crawls through no longer being part of a psychological stress test ending in a drop into a lagoon with a GIANT octopus. Or No not getting killed by having a ton of BIRD GUANO dropped on him. Or M spelling out the entire plot before Bond leaves his office in London, when in the book, it was a "minor" assignment to find out what happened to an agent who was looking into a bird sanctuary. But in the long run, it's that EON never wanted to do Ian Fleming's version of Bond. In the Book, Honey is chasing him, but he keeps putting her off because he has a dangerous job to do. In the movie, he's out to nail anything on two legs, and she pushes him off until the end. It took me ages to connect this; Honey was my favorite girl in all the books, but in the movie she did nothing for me, despite my finding Ursula Andress VERY attractive in several OTHER movies! But my favorite girl in the movies (who nobody else ever says this about) is "Bibi Dahl" from FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. The dynamic between her & Bond in that film is actually closer to what it was between Honey & Bond in the novel "Dr. No". But of course... the movie FYEO was always a love letter to Fleming, after the producers IGNORED the source material for an entire decade in the 70s. On a minor point, I thought Lord did an okay job as Leiter, but he's too cold-blooded. Having recently re-watched the 1st season of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, I really do wish they'd hired David Hedison instead back in 1962. I'm sure he could have worked his TV schedule around his scenes of Felix in GOLDFINGER and THUNDERBALL.

Why on earth did they give 23-year-old Marguerite LeWars that monster camera for the airport and dancing scenes, when there were compact cameras, telephoto lenses and fast film available? It was so bleedin' obvious that she was continually in Bond's face! Also, being the best-looking local girl in Jamaica, together with her sister, they should have snuck in a swimwear scene on a beach.

I’ve seen several of the Bond movies, and Dr. No (for me personally) is the best. Very few special effects which allows the viewer to concentrate on the characters and the story. A bit of trivia: if you look closely at the spider crawling on James Bond’s chest, you ‘ll see that there is a piece of glass between him and the spider.

In early 1962, my 14yo self experienced what we now call "synchronicity"!....I was in the neighborhood library, and was looking for some spy-adventure-type of book to read...I stumbled onto a few books on the shelf, all having been written by some guy named Ian Fleming. I grabbed one book-DR NO-and began to flip through the pages. My 14 year old brain was stimulated to read of some guy named James Bond, in process of seducing a woman!...Tepid stuff now, but stunning to me back then!...I proceeded to check out the book, and showed the few "hot" passages to my friends, who teased me for being too "excited" about the book. A few days later, a couple of thoughts hit me...I formed a general idea as to what this Bond dude would look like...and I also hoped, that someday a movie would be made. Imagine my happy shock, when, less than a year later, DR NO showed up on the silver screen!...I talked my buddies into attending the premiere...my amazement continued, when Sean Connery appeared, blithely saying "Bond, James Bond"...Yikes!...He looked very much like the imagined Bond in my mind....I was in a dream-like state during the whole movie--and so were my now "converted" friends! I still am bewildered, as to the sheer coincidence of my discovering the Bond books, and then later on, having a movie make my dreams come true! The 1960s truly were magical years!

Underneath the mango tree me honey”. I would have been in my mothers stomach when DR NO was first released in 1962. As much as I love Ursula Andress in her white bikini I love Miss Taro a little bit more. Like Fiona Volpe ( Luciana Paluzzi in Thunderball she didn’t succumb to the charms of Bond James Bond!! Joseph Wiseman set the bar incredibly high as the first Bond villain. Suave and sophisticated and very lethal. Jack Lord almost out cools Sean Connery ,with his sunglasses and laid back way of speaking” Gently Bud Gently”. The producers Saltzman and Broccoli wanted Jack Lord back for the third Bond film Goldfinger but Jack wanted too much $$$$ So they went with Canadian actor Cedric Linder. Lord would get the gig on Hawaii Five-O a few years later which made him a fortune and Internationally famous!! I wouldn’t see DR No until the summer of 1980 when HBO would show one Bond film a month but Multiple times. I like it that much more every time I see it. I feel that Sean Connery became Bond when the cast and crew returned to London and Bond meets DR No face to face during the famous Dinner scene. Jamaican Locations,tight and taut script b great character actors throughout Bernard Lee,John Ki. ,Eunice Gayson as Sylvia Trench,Jack Lord,What’s not to love. Here we are 62- years later still talking about DR NO and wondering who the next actor will be to play Bond James Bond???

Nicely done.

Very interesting video. Thank you

As they were filming in 35mm, how did they know various takes were wrong, when one would have to wait for the rushes the next day? Very interesting video. Thank you.

Am I right in assuming this is the level of detail that will be found in your new Taschen Dr No book on the day to day filming,Paul?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎

Connery's best three were Dr no from Russia with love and thunderball

Interesting. Thank you

My father worked as a chemist at the time. His lab was shown in the film. I have no idea what the connection was about, It was Glaxo Corp.

Great thx. The photo lady was hired at the airport? She was working behind then ticket counter at the time? Mr. Jones, the driver, was her brother? Her voice was dubbed.

I wonder if any of all the bond films footage not used is packed away somewhere 😊

Have you ever heard of volume levels?

Great post? The process of filming is quite the challenge? 🎉

This was a film about a secret agent it was ok for a film

...so, it took me until WELL into the comments section that I realised you were THE Paul Duncan. :-O That explains how excellent this video is! One thing I've got to ask about -- that's Rietti and Van Der Zyl dubbing all the men and women in this scene who aren't Connery, right?

Just 4 years old and 8 days old
