The sign for the Le Cercle club, where we first meet James Bond in Dr. No (1962)
I’m not sure you could dream of a more perfect way to introduce the world to secret agent James Bond, 007. From the start, an indirect request at a club entrance for James Bond, and a casual discreet walk through the casino until we end up in a seemingly high intensity baccarat game. The sexual tension is obvious and the facial expressions are memorable. We owe Trench, Sylvia Trench a debt of gratitude for teaching Bond, James Bond how to properly introduce himself in future movies. It truly is a scene all other James Bond movies would be well advised to replicate.
The first James Bond movie, Dr. No, was released on this day – 55 years ago (!) on October 5th, in 1962.

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!
