2K 1500pWhat's left behind the scenes
- One of the biggest challenges for the film crew was the very hot and humid weather in Jamaica, where the main filming took place.
- The name of the armory worker who issues Bond his 'Walter PPK' is Major Boothroyd. In the next film, 'From Russia with Love,' his role is played by Desmond Llewelyn. The person supplying Bond with weapons, starting with 'Goldfinger' (1964), will forever be known as 'Q'.
- Sylvia Trench, the girl Bond meets in the first film at the casino, was conceived as a recurring character throughout the 'Bond' series. She reappeared in 'From Russia with Love' (1963), but was then removed from the remaining scripts.
- Titles artist Maurice Binder came up with the famous silhouettes inside the gun barrel in a matter of minutes, simply by placing the camera at the end of the gun barrel.
- The male silhouette in the gun barrel of the iconic opening sequence is not Connery, but his stunt double Bob Simmons. Connery did not appear in the opening credits until 1965 – with the film 'Thunderball'.
- A copy of the painting depicting the Duke of Wellington, by Francisco Goya, stolen in 1960 and still not found, is located in Dr. No's residence in the film. At the time of filming, the theft of this work was the greatest mystery, and every Briton had heard of it. Screenwriter Joanna Harwood suggested 'attributing' this crime to Dr. No.
- Although Dr. No's lair was located in Crab Key, scenes from the film were shot in various parts of Jamaica: on the beach where the famous scene of Ursula Andress emerging from the sea and meeting James was filmed, and which is now called 'James Bond Beach', in the eastern part of Ocho Rios and on the beaches of Laughing Waters Falls. 'James Bond Beach' – Laughing Waters Beach was privately owned and belonged to Mrs. Minnie Simpson of Ocho Rios. Mrs. Simpson was a fan of Ian Fleming's novels.
- Following the release of 'Dr. No' in Italy, the Vatican issued a special communiqué expressing its disagreement with the moral principles professed in the film.
- Marguerite LeWars, who played the photographer Annabelle Chung in the film, worked as a flight attendant. Terence Young approached her with the banal question 'Would she like to star in a movie?'. The girl wanted to. Her brother-in-law Reggie Carter also starred in the film, playing the role of a chauffeur – Dr. No's henchman who drove James Bond from the airport.
- The novel "Dr. No" was based on a script for the television film "Commander Jamaica," which Fleming wrote for Jamaican television. The main character there was also a secret agent, also with the rank of commander, who enters into a confrontation with a certain arch-villain living on a certain island. But the project stalled, and Fleming turned the television film script into a book about Bond.
- Ian Fleming was so captivated by the beauty of Ursula Andress that in his novel "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1963), he described the heroine Tracy Di Vicenzo (played by Diana Rigg in the film adaptation) as a girl very similar to Andress.
- All the female voices in the film, with the exception of Miss Moneypenny, belong to the same little-known English actress – Diane Copeland.
- Sean Connery wears a wig in all the Bond films, starting with "Dr. No."
- Sean Connery was chosen for the role of James Bond after Albert R. Broccoli's wife, the producer of the Bond films, saw the young Connery in the 1959 film "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." Albert Broccoli also liked Connery in this film, and was particularly impressed by Sean Connery's fight with a rural bully in the film's climactic scene.
- Employees of the Japanese branch of United Artists studio misunderstood the film's title, reading it as “Dr.? No!” The Japanese printed posters with hieroglyphs meaning “We don’t need a doctor!” The mistake was discovered at the very last moment.
- Wolf Mankowitz was one of the screenwriters of “Dr. No,” but he disliked the final version of the script so much that Mankowitz removed his name from the credits. He later took revenge – he wrote the script for the parody film about agent 007 “Casino Royale” (1967), which also starred Ursula Andress – the first Bond girl.
- The late director John Frankenheimer claimed in the past that Albert Broccoli offered him the role of Bond.
- The famous photograph of Connery holding a gun at chest level had to be reshot at the last moment. The “Walther PPK” was forgotten at the studio. Fortunately, the photographer happened to have an air pistol with him – Connery filmed with that.
- According to a 2006 poll by Empire magazine and Sony Pictures, Ursula Andress (Honey Ryder) was named the best Bond girl in the entire film history of James Bond. The scene from “Dr. No” where Andress, like Venus, emerges from the sea waves in a white bikini became iconic even then. As soon as Honey Ryder appeared before the eyes of the young Sean Connery in a swimsuit, bikinis instantly became the height of fashion, and the young Scottish actor – a movie star. British television channel Channel 4 named this scene one of the most arousing moments in world cinema in 2004.
- Ian Fleming insisted on Roger Moore as the ideal candidate for the role of Bond, but Moore declined as he had begun filming the television series "The Saint".
- In 2006, at a Christie's auction in London, James Bond's Walther PPK pistol, used by Sean Connery in the 1962 film "Dr. No," was sold for £54,000 ($106,202). This pistol became the most expensive item at the time from all previously sold memorabilia from James Bond films.
- The famous phrase, "Bond, James Bond," was included in the American Film Institute's 2005 list of "100 Most Memorable Movie Quotes," ranking at number 22. And the quote from the Bond series, "A martini. Shaken, not stirred," ranked 90th.
- Ursula Andress's iconic white bikini from the film "Dr. No" was sold at a "Christie's" auction on February 14, 2001. Miss Andress decided to part with the swimsuit after accidentally discovering it in the attic of her house. The 100% cotton bikini was sold for £40,000. It was purchased by Robert Earl to display in the window of one of the Planet Hollywood restaurants. According to Ursula Andress, this outfit brought her success. The role of the first girl of agent 007 in "Dr. No," as the actress recounted, gave her "freedom of choice in roles and ensured financial independence."
- In the classic scene of Honey Ryder's appearance on the beach in the film, she is wearing the famous white bikini. However, in the book, the girl was wearing only a belt with a dagger sheath. In addition, her nose was broken, like a boxer's – the result of a rape.
- Since Connery was terrified of spiders, the scene with the spider in James Bond's bed was filmed using a glass partition separating the actor from the insect. However, the episode turned out unrealistic, and it was decided to reshoot the scene with Connery's stunt double, Bob Simmons. Simmons said that the scene with a tarantula crawling across James Bond's shoulder was the creepiest stunt he had ever had to perform.
- Two weeks before the start of filming for 'Dr. No,' the actress for the leading female role had not yet been found. Producers accidentally saw a photograph of actor John Derek with his wife Ursula Andress and immediately offered her the role, without even meeting the actress in person. At that time, Andress was not interested in working, but a family friend, actor Kirk Douglas, convinced Ursula to accept the role of Honey Ryder after reading the script.
- One of the details of the interior of Dr. No's lair was a magnifying glass window through which one could see marine fish. The studio's film library quickly found a film with underwater footage the day before filming this scene. But the fish were filmed in close-up and appeared much larger than life-size. Then an explanation was devised: Dr. No says that the glass magnifies everything, like a lens.
- Although Sean Connery had already been approved for the role of James Bond, a competition was held for promotional purposes to find the perfect performer for the role of agent 007. Six finalists were selected, and the auditions were watched by Albert Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, and Ian Fleming. The winner was 28-year-old Peter Anthony. He worked as a model and had the appearance suitable for the role of agent 007, but he had a complete lack of acting talent.
- Among other actors considered for the role of agent 007 were Cary Grant ('Charade,' 'North by Northwest'), David Niven ('The Pink Panther'), Trevor Howard ('Ludwig'), and Rex Harrison ('My Fair Lady,' 'Cleopatra').
- Joseph Wiseman, who played Dr. No, was the only actor portraying villains in the early James Bond films whose voice was not dubbed.
- One of the reasons Noel Coward declined the role of Dr. No was that he would have had to wear metallic hand prosthetics in the film.
- Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels, very much wanted his cousin Christopher Lee to play Dr. No, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. Lee finally landed the role of the villain Scaramanga in the Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun" in 1974. The role of Dr. No was also offered to Max von Sydow, but he turned it down.
- Terence Young, the director of "Dr. No," also directed two other James Bond films starring Sean Connery: "From Russia with Love" (1963) and "Thunderball" (1965).
- Originally, "Thunderball" was intended to be the first James Bond film, but legal disputes with one of the scriptwriters (Kevin McClory) led to "Dr. No" being filmed first. Another reason was that the entire film was set in one location – Jamaica – and the script only contained one large scene with special effects. This was convenient as the film had a small budget.
- Legends surround the creation of the iconic Bond theme that plays during the credits of the first Bond film. One thing is certain: it was composed by Monty Norman. Some say he originally wrote the melody for a musical that was never staged. According to another version, Norman heard the memorable tune from street musicians in Jamaica. However it happened, the producers asked John Barry to refine the melody, but under the agreement, he had to relinquish all copyrights. Barry decided that a bird in the hand (a fee) was worth two in the bush (glory). If only he had known that it would be his arrangement that the public would come to love. But Monty Norman, the 'original father,' never misses an opportunity to assert his rights to the famous melody. If anyone dares to call Barry the author of the Bond motif, Norman immediately sues the offender for defamation.
- The car James Bond drives in the film is a 1961 blue Sunbeam Alpine. The car is not equipped with any clever gadgets from Q, but the vehicle saves Bond's life when he is pursued by Dr. No's henchmen.
- Writer Ian Fleming disliked Sean Connery very much, believing the rough Scotsman would ruin his beloved creation. But after the film's release, he radically changed his mind. Fleming was so impressed with Connery's work that he gave his hero Scottish roots in his new Bond novel, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1963).
- The name of the casino in London where we first see James Bond is 'Le Cercle Les Ambassadeurs.' Its interiors were filmed at Pinewood Studios.
- Although Moneypenny has become a symbol of Britain, the actress who played her, Lois Maxwell, is Canadian.
- The character of Miss Moneypenny was inspired by Vera Atkins, a British intelligence agent. After World War II, Atkins participated in the search for war criminals.
- The role of Sylvia Trench was initially offered to Lois Maxwell, who instead played Moneypenny. And Eunice Gayson was considered for the role of Moneypenny, ultimately she played Sylvia Trench.
- The American premiere of the film was delayed due to the tense political climate following the Cuban Missile Crisis.
- When James Bond hums the song “Under The Mango Tree” in the film, it is the first and only time Agent 007 sings in the Bond series.
- The classic casino scene, in which Agent 007 first appears, where we initially only see the faces of his card partners, and then a close-up of the protagonist appears and he introduces himself: “Bond, James Bond,” was filmed on March 2, 1962.
- The first scene in which Sean Connery starred as James Bond was an episode at Kingston Airport. He shields himself with a hat from a female photographer. The episode was filmed on January 16, 1962.
- According to other accounts, the first scene filmed for the movie was an episode in 'M's' office, featuring Bernard Lee, Peter Burton, and Sean Connery. The scene was shot in a studio, and many of the crew, including director Terence Young, were late due to a sudden onset of inclement cold weather.
- "James Bond Beach," with an entrance fee of £3, is located directly opposite Ian Fleming's villa "Goldeneye" in the Oracabessa area.
- In the film, Professor Dent sends a giant venomous spider into James Bond's bed, while in the book he is given a giant centipede and receives a package of fruit filled with potassium cyanide.
- From a budget of $1,000,000, £14,000 was spent on sets. The film's art director, Ken Adam, managed to secure an additional £6,000 for the sets, which are now considered exemplary in all respects.
- Documents discovered in 2006 reveal that another British actor, Richard Burton, almost played the role of James Bond. In 1959, three years before filming began on 'Dr. No,' the possibility of adapting Ian Fleming's novels was considered. Richard Burton was to play Bond in this production, and they hoped to have the renowned master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, direct the film.
- The film's budget was only $1 million, but when $100,000 was overspent, 'United Artists' studio considered shutting down the project, fearing that these costs would never be recouped.
- Fleming personally offered the role of Dr. No to screenwriter and actor Noël Coward ('Around the World in 80 Days,' 'Our Man in Havana'). Coward responded with a telegram: '“Dr.No”? No! No! No!’
- The name of the armory worker who issues Bond his "Walther PPK" is Major Boothroyd. In the next film, "From Russia with Love," his role is played by Desmond Llewelyn. The person who supplies Bond with weapons, starting with "Goldfinger" (1964), will forever be known as "Q".
