The other is a scene, improvised on the set, when Bond does a double take on seeing Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington (recently stolen from London's National Gallery) in Dr No's palatial living room. It's the funniest moment in any Bond picture and one of cinema's great art jokes.

First screen adventure of Ian Fleming's hardhitting, fearless, imperturbable, girl-loving Secret Service Agent 007, James Bond, is an entertaining piece of tongue-in-cheek action hokum. Sean Connery excellently puts over a cool, fearless, on-the-ball, fictional Secret Service guy. Terence Young directs with a pace which only occasionally lags.

There are no gadgets, forcing Bond to rely on his ingenuity (in one scene, when he needs to breathe while submerged, he uses hollowed-out reeds as air tubes). The single car chase is reasonably straightforward. And, for the only time in the series, 007 is unmistakably brutalized, appearing bloody, beaten, and disheveled as a result.

This lively, amusing picture is not to be taken seriously as realistic fiction or even art, any more than the works of Mr. Fleming are to be taken as long-hair literature. It is strictly a tinseled action-thriller, spiked with a mystery of a sort. And, if you are clever, you will see it as a spoof of science-fiction and sex.

Very solid film to start off the James Bond series off with. Connery is perfect and shows so much charisma and class. The cinematography is great, Dr No and Honey Ryder are memorable characters too, though I wish Dr No got more screen time. Overall, pretty good film.

solid movie. Of course you need to have in mind, that this movie is from the early 60s, so some of the elements of the movie are not very professional. Anyway the location is interesting and Sean Connery is cool

The debut of James Bond and Sean Connery as Bond is certainly a milestone in film history, but it has aged extremely badly due to obvious yellow facing.
Fun fact about this movie is that it got translated into Japanese at first as "We Don't Want a Doctor."
