Don’t care, still love the movie!
Not sure I’d want to work somewhere with this prominent sign – from Dr. No (1962)
WTF Dr. No?!
After Bond is rendered unconscious with a spiked drink, Dr. No creepily enters Bond’s bedroom (which he was nicely placed there by No’s guards apparently) and gently touches his bedsheet. This is a perfect time for Dr. No the end Bond’s life, but for some reason (vanity? ego?) he spares him. Oddly enough, Dr. No doesn’t mention this encounter to Bond at dinner as an example where No could “have had [Bond] killed” like in the swamp. Weird…
It’s also an example of a well-honored Bond villain criticism – a naïve or reckless villain doesn’t end 007 as a threat during a time of vulnerability. It’s a rightful criticism, but it’s also one of those endearing qualities of Bond movies that add to their legacy. But yes, you should kill Bond when you have the chance!
Aside from the Doctor’s dorky/stylish white bowling-looking leather shoes and odd gait into the bedroom, he’s an intimidating presence – keeping him faceless is a nice touch.
