Dr. No

Dr. No (1962) is Terence Young's spy thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. This is the very first James Bond film, the one where Sean Connery first says "Bond. James Bond."

A British agent vanishes in Jamaica, and something is knocking American rockets off course from Cape Canaveral with electronic interference. London sends 007 to find out who. The trail leads to a reclusive scientist with steel prosthetics for hands, Dr. No, a man working for a shadowy syndicate that wants the world's powers by the throat. Along the way Bond meets Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), whose walk out of the sea in a white bikini became one of the most copied images in cinema.

Everything the series would lean on for the next six decades starts here in rougher form: the gadgets, the island lair, the dry one-liners, the martini. The budget was modest, but Dr. No locked in a formula that filmmakers chased for years. Watch Dr. No (1962) online on iFILM.
