    This scene with M about the Beretta reminds me of all those hilarious 'Imaginary Conversations' riffs on the forum.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    One pity about this film version of DN is that we don't get to see Bond and Strangways together prior to Strangways' murder, unlike in the novels where Bond and Strangways had worked together in LALD. Still, from the concerned way that Moneypenny says "Strangways, and it looks serious" we can deduce that Bond and Moneypenny probably knew Strangways previously.

    Famous berretta scene :D

    Bernard Lee is also the definitive M
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Absolutely. The man from the books brought to life.

    Bond was really attached to that Beretta, trying to sneak off with it.

    The age of hats. Remember my grandad and his friends always wore a hat with the suit.

    True, but as the prop was actually a Walther PP maybe the actual gun was ever so slightly more powerful.

    The airport scene- Connery's first moments on film as 007.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,330MI6 Agent
    And flying with a jet, especially Pan Am, was classy!

    Monty Norman's 'rising tension' music as Bond draws his gun through the interior door of his flat is sort of referenced by Barry during the stalking music in the FRWL PTS.

    Darn... 'freelance' is hot!

    Lester’s suit changes colour from his first scene to the next - tan to blue (or at least it looks like it as I’m colour blind)
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,206MI6 Agent
    Maybe tan to grey?

    The first ever Bond fight scene :007)
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    I love that this car scene doesn't use rear projection, it's all done in camera. Looks so much better than the Sunbeam Alpine chase later.

    Connery plays well Bond's authoritative command as someone who gives orders and bosses folk around, starting with Mr Jones. Makes it seem credible that he was a naval Commander.

    Very amusing reaction from the policeman in the white uniform.
  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,206MI6 Agent
    Bond is very assertive throughout DN

    "Sergeant: make sure he doesn't get away." The birth of a genre; the throwaway one liner.

    I hope we get to see Bond doing some basic fieldcraft like he does at the hotel in future Bonds ...

    Listen carefully, that's Monty Norman singing "Under The Mango Tree" (very quietly)
  • The Spy Who Never DiesThe Spy Who Never Dies UKPosts: 644MI6 Agent
    I like Quarrel
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    Ted Moore's colourful cinematography really stands out in Dr No, especially whenever Quarrel's red t-shirt is on screen. Lovely contrast with the green and blue surroundings.

    Nice voice

    Is that Mony singing? I didn't know

    This film has a reputation for its groundbreaking pace of editing, but by today's standards it takes time to breathe, allowing us to see Bond doing proper spy stuff and investigation. When Connery was interviewed in 1983 about his return for NSNA, he commented on how he liked the 'detective' aspects of the early Bond films.
