    Ken Adam, who designed the sets for this and many other Bond films, was an extraordinary set designer. He frequently built sets for the series that were large, open spaces, with minimal dressing, large shadows. He worked on the films off and on up into the Roger Moore years. One specific set he did for The Spy Who Loved Me is particularly impressive, and was lit by the counsel of Stanley Kubrick, to whom Adam turned to for advice.

    He didn't base it off Christopher Lee, at heart the Bond novels are Fleming's hyper fantasy of himself. Yes Lee was a British spy, but Fleming was in British intelligence as well, and spent most of his Naval career behind a desk. This is the product of what Fleming had wished his career had been. And an amalgamation of several people. To say he based it on Lee is a broad assumption.

Christopher Lee actually played De Richleau in a Hammer adaptation of one of the Novels, The Devil Rides Out. The novel and film are quite good if you haven't checked them out. The character is best described as a mix between James Bond and Dr. Strange.

    That painting is actually a portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, an Anglo Irish solider who was a powerful political figure in British history.
    That portrait of him was stolen from the National Gallery in London in 1961, so the inclusion of it here is more than anything a British pop culture joke. It wasn’t until 1965 that a disabled pensioner confessed to stealing the picture, saying he stole it in protest of British TV licensing fees.

    The deal with the Portrait that Bond noticed is that for a span of like, 3-5 years when this film was released, that painting was lost. Just vanished one day. It's pretty expensive and was quite the news story. So the makers got a replica and put it there to insinuate that Dr. No had been the one who stole it. Apparently in the theaters it got quite a reaction at the time.
    Something else you might notice as you go along is that all the good guys in the early films have more ornate, regal sets, offices whatever, while the villains are all in sterile, more technological settings, highlighting the tradition vs modernization fears in the zeitgeist at the time.

    Regarding Doctor Who: The Five Doctors it wasn't a cinema movie it was a proper feature length episode but it was a 20th anniversary special and sort of finale for Season 20. Because the show had started on 23rd November 1963 the same day Kennedy was killed. The gunbarrel sequence for where James Bond is walking was Bob Simmons who was the stuntman. Major Boothroyd was Q and was played by (Peter Burton) but wasn't yet called that until the next film which is then played by (Desmond Llewellyn) who would remain with the franchise until Pierce Brosnan. Ian Fleming originally wanted David Niven to play the role of James Bond which he eventually did a spoof 1967 version of James Bond in Casino Royale (1967) (unofficial Bond movie) which also had Ursula Andress but as a different Bond girl Ian Fleming was at first not happy with Sean Connerys casting as Bond because of his scottish heritage as David Niven was an english gentleman but when he went and saw the film he was very impressed with Connery's performance. Even though this was well before my time Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond IMO.

      Very occasionally the Bond people would connect a dot or two, like with Quarrel Jr, so clearly someone in the office was making an effort. The one other striking occasion that springs to mind is when George Lazenby is cleaning out his desk in OHMSS and he pulls out mementoes from the first few films accompanied by appropriate snippets of music from those films. I imagine they were nervous about recasting a new Bond and wanted to reassure their faithful audience that this was still the same guy, please continue to come see our movies, but it gives me a thrill all the same.

      "It was basically a few TV episodes stuck together" The other way round actually; it was shot as a single feature length special to mark the twentieth anniversary of the show but was also edited into a four part serial in order to better fit schedules for overseas broadcasters. It is true, of course, that budgets were not generous in the Classic era!

    The Honey character was supposed to be experimented on , slowly eaten by giant crabs (like in the book) and see what pain a human can stand (her pink pants off means more flesh exposed) . The crabs were flown in on ice and were dead DOA , so they had to quickly change the scene to a drowning scene.

    Anyone else old enough to remember when Starz did a *007 in ‘07* for New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day.? They literally showed every film in the order they were released. One after the other. It was a fun time for me & my dad, who grew up w/ all the original films. His introduction was w/ Sean Connery, obviously. R.I.P. 🤲🏼🌹🤲🏼 My introduction to the franchise was Pierce Brosnan. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 Before 2007 came around though, I honestly didn’t become a real fan, until I religiously played the *From Russia W/ Love* demo I had on Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005). I enjoyed playing the demo so much, I went to my local library, n bought the game for like $20. 🤣 Which then led to me watching the actual film for the very first time. Been a fan ever since. 💯

  • @markjone671

    This film actually followed the book quite closely but they were forced to change a number of things because of budget restrictions and strict censorship at the time. In the book, Honey Rider is staked out for the crabs to devour her and that scene was actually filmed but they changed it to slow drowning because the scene with the crabs was considered a little too graphic for the time.
    This film more than the other Bond's feels a little more dated because it was only the beginning of the 60's and there was still a bit of an overlap from the 1950's. So there are some scenes that feel like a British war movie from the 1950's with very stiff upper lip British acting from the period, the technology available and particular ways of filming scenes like the back projection. It took a while for the 60's to become the 60's. The next one in the series feels a lot more polished and more modern. They had a bigger budget too and it shows. The films do start to look and sound better as they progress.
    Honey Rider is a character from the novel but her name in the book was Honeychile Rider. They dropped the chile and just called her Honey Rider for the film because that sounded so much more provocative. And the reason the book is called Doctor No, is because the character was inspired by the oriental super villain Dr Fu Manchu from the series of novels by Sax Roamer which Christopher Lee would go on to play in five films throughout the latter half of the 1960's. Fu Manchu's name would always be featured in the title; The Face of Fu Manchu, The Brides of Fu Manchu etc. I think I'm correct in pointing out that the spelling of No is wrong. I think the Chines spelling of No as a Chinese name is actually Ng. Obviously western audiences wouldn't know how to pronounce that so he spelled it as No.

    bit of historical context, film is set/released in 1962 (by the look of the weather in London and Jamaica early '62) - Jamaica gained independence from Britain in August 1962 (after over *450* years) - anyway that's why the Governor has a large office !
    Maj Boothroyd was a real person who wrote to Fleming saying his choice of weapons for Bond was wrong - he suggested the Walther - Fleming wrote him into Dr No as thanks
    Christopher Lee was Ian Fleming's cousin by marriage

    Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983) could fit right in with your reactions.
    Just go by their release dates and fit them in, since they would have come out as the Bond series unfolded.
