The first James Bond movie, Dr. No, was released on this day – 55 years ago (!) on October 5th, in 1962.
Annabel Chung (Marguerite LeWars), a reporter for Jamaica’s Daily Gleaner and likely Dr. No henchman, takes a picture of some crazy dancers in Dr. No (1962) as she spies on James Bond
Celebrate! Dance! Have a martini shaken, not stirred! If you dance like the above guy though, expect to get some curious, Sylvia Trench-like looks from people around you!

Sean Connery is and always will be the best and my favorite actor to portray James Bond. My favorite James Bond movie may change periodically, but I’ll always point to Connery’s iconic introduction scene from Dr. No as the true definition of James Bond. RIP.

You are getting sleepy…VERYYYYY sleepy!
In this scene from Dr. No (1962), James Bond (Sean Connery) does his best crime scene investigator impression, and let’s just say – an episode of C.S.I. or The First 48 it is not.

British Spy John Strangways (Timothy Moxon) is killed by the Three Blind Mice for investigating Dr. No in Crab Key in Dr. No (1962)
Sure he was a British spy, but at least his last action was for the less fortunate and he didn’t see it coming.
007 is often asked who he works for, and the fictional import/export company he says is his employer is called Universal Exports.
It is mentioned several times throughout various James Bond movies, which I have listed below:
Dr. No (1962)
007 is shown walking into M’s office, which has a Universal Exports sign on the outside
The six actors that have portrayed 007 in the official movies have changed since their first and last on-screen appearances. Below, you can see each actor’s first and last appearances as James Bond.
