Excerpt: Dr. No is a 1962 British spy film, starring Sean Connery; it is the first James Bond film. Based on the 1958 Ian Fleming novel of the same name, it was adapted by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkely Mather and was directed by Terence Young. The film was produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, a partnership that would continue until 1975.

Production designer Ken Adam established an elaborate visual style that is one of the hallmarks of the Bond film series. John Strangways, the British Intelligence (SIS) Station Chief in Jamaica, is ambushed and killed, and his body taken by a trio of assassins known as the 'Three Blind Mice'. In response, British agent James Bond also known as 007 is summoned to the office of his superior, M. Bond is briefed to investigate Strangways' disappearance and to determ 38 pp. Englisch.…
