Agente 007 Contra El Dr. No (Metal) [Import]

You get a book some small lobby card reproductions and a card dragon tank to build. The booklet contains stills most of which have appeared many times before its a neat little set but really this was a huge missed opportunity for a deserved 4k UHD version given the legacy and it's place in cinematic history.

My buddy loved it ... absolutely loved it ... this is a GREAT gift for the 007 fan, as long as they have a European DVD player ... buy it, while you can ...

Not having seen Dr No since 1962 on its first appearance, I’d forgotten how little there was in the way of spectacular effects. A couple of car chases, an explosion, oh, and a tarantula. Instead you have a smooth, understandable plot with some excellent dialogue, Ursula Andress who famously emerges from the sea in the most unexpected circumstances and Sean Connery of course, smoothly anticipating what the baddies are going to do. There is an entertaining scene in which he has trapped the villainess but decides to dally with her before turning her in.. It’s here that we learn that 007 puts his pyjamas back on after making love. Joseph Wiseman makes as effective a 007 nasty guy as I remember. However, there’s one drawback, typical of that time in film land.We’re in Jamaica but there is only one black actor of any importance. I immediately marked him down as dispensable and regrettably I was right.

This is the first Bond film of the EON franchise, it dates from 1962 and it's still one of my favourites in the series. Sean Connery is Bond, James Bond, he is cool, he is sexy, he is cynical, he is absolutely wonderful, and for many he is still the Bond all other Bonds have to measure up to. Ursula Andress is unforgettable as the first ever Bond girl as she emerges from the waves in that iconic white bikini. The story stays quite near Ian Fleming's novel of the same title and it's still a joy to watch this film 50+ years later.The 2 disc Ultimate Edition DVD I purchased presents a beautifully remastered version of the film and includes the following (very nice) extra features: - Top Level Access - 007: Licence to Restore - Featurette detailing the Ultimate Edition film restoration process - Declassified: MI6 Vault - The guns of James Bond - Premiere Bond - 007 Mission Control: Interactive guide into the world of Dr. No - Mission Dossier - Audio Commentary featuring director Terence Young and members of the cast and crew - Inside Dr. No - Terence Young: Bond Vivant - Dr. No 1963 Featurette - Ministry of Propaganda: Original Trailers, TV Spots, Photo Gallery & Radio Communications

British secret agent James Bond goes to Jamaica to investigate the murder of another agent and comes up against scientist Doctor No who is trying to destroy the American space race. The first James Bond film, the introduction to the world's longest running film franchise is a bit of a slow burner but tense with an excellent performance from a then unknown Sean Connery as James Bond. While this is the first film, this isn't an origin story for Bond as he has already been an established respected agent for years and not the first book. Casino Royale wouldn't be filmed for years not counting the spoof version due to rights issues but it introduces Bond as a ruthless killer and womanizer. It introduces regular supporting characters M, Bond's boss and M's secretary Miss Moneypenny and semi regular character CIA agent Felix Leiter who would become Bond's best friend and sets up SPECTRE, the terrorist organization that Dr No works for and will be back in the latest Bond film Spectre, currently filming over 50 years later and of course sets up the first in a series of stunning Bond girls with Honey Rider. No gadgets or opening theme song in this one but it sets up the series for years to come and looks fantastic on bluray.

I was delighted with this special edition blu ray of Dr no.the sound and picture quality was excellent.

The film came out in the early 1960s and as such it became a role model for all future James Bond films. The film sticks to the plot as written by Ian Fleming, but the clothes James Bond wears, and suave style were thought out by the director, Terence Young. He basically modelled James Bond on himself. That aside the film may be too slow for some people, but for others Sean Connery is the consummate James Bond. Here James Bond seduces women, drinks, gambles and kills the enemy. The first scene where Sean Connery appears as James Bond is in a casino and he introduces himself with those immortal words, Bond, James Bond. Also there is the unforgettable scene where Honey Rider played by Usula Andress, emerges from the sea. The dvd also features commentary about the director, cast and crew. A blockbuster and one for avid fans of James Bond.
