Somne foxing on the title page an the preceding page. The Sixth James Bond novel and the first Bond book to be filmed. The following information is taken from Wikipedia. The film came out in 1962 starring Sean Connery as 007 and Ursula Andress as the first Bond girl. It was adapted by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkely Mather and directed by Terence Young. The film was produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, a partnership that would continue until 1975 when a dispute during the filming of The Man with the Golden Gun led to an acrimonious split . The film, Dr. No, introduced the many recurring themes and features associated with the "suave and sophisticated secret agent": the distinctive "James Bond Theme", the gun barrel sequence, his initial mission briefing with M, "Bond girls", the criminal organisation SPECTRE, his signature Walther PPK, Bond's introduction as "Bond, James Bond" (although he seems to be mimicking Sylvia Trench who introduces herself first as "Trench. Sylvia Trench"), to his taste for vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred", love interests, and weaponry. The cast also included a number of actors who were to become stalwarts of the future films, including Bernard Lee, who played Bond's superior M for another ten films, and Lois Maxwell, who played M's secretary Moneypenny in fourteen instalments of the series. Lee was chosen because of being a "prototypical father figure",and Maxwell after Fleming thought she was the perfect fit for his description of the character. Hard Cover. Bookseller Inventory # 03903
