It is up to the producers Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli, the director Terence Young, the crew and the cast (Jack Lord, Marguerite LeWars, Reggie Carter, John Kitzmiller) to think quickly, to find solutions, and then act accordingly.
This is the story of the first day on the set of Dr. No, filming at Palisadoes Airport, Kingston, Jamaica.

I was born in 62 in the Far East. HA! I'm 62 today. Just realised it. My father used to take me to see the Bond films. My first was Thunderball. As a young bot I was terrified of Sean Connery cos he was no nonsense man and strict. Fast forward 30 years and found myself in America and in motion picture business. I was fired as a PA cos others ganged up on me complaining that I refused a walkie talkie. I hated my English, my accent and embarrased by it so screw walkie talkie. But A KIND 2nd AD somehow rehired me to be an Assistant. To? SEAN CONNERY.
Sean specifically stated he did not want a personal costumer, security, publicist or a driver. But somehow I just followed Sean and just be with him for whatever he needed. It was a glorious 4 months. RISING SUN.
MrConnery passed away on my birthday. We are in a curious way linked forever
Rest In Peace Sir
Great story! Thanks for sharing. My Dad took me to see a double-bill of Bond movies when I was 12-they were the first grown-up, non-Disney films I saw at the cinema. 35 years later, I ended up in the Bond archives, visiting the set, and interviewing the filmmakers to make books about it. Life has a way of surprising you.
That grey suit, the blue shirt and the Rolex, the best stylish outfit ever.
Sean still sounded a bit rough in Dr No
By the time he starred in Goldfinger (the same year he starred in Hitchcock’s Marnie), he already had become so elegant in his delivery of speech and performance
I definitely think he did on location but by the time he got back to Pinewood he was pretty smooth; possibly influenced by Jack Lord's performance?
Wordsmith - This is bloody marvelous - deserving of a million views from grateful Bond fans everywhere.
Very many thanks,
Allan
Glad to hear that you liked it. A million views would be nice... but unlikely.
The nuts and bolts that make up a classic motion picture. Bravo. Takes me back to when everyone wanted to be a secret agent.
Dr. No and Goldfinger are my favorites in the series. I love the behind the scenes look
I love all these “behind the scenes” films and photos of “Dr. No”.
It’s one of my all-time favorite Sean Connery/James Bond films.
Happy to hear that you like it!
I lived on Long Island back then. My friends and I were astonished after seeing Dr. No, seeing a great cast and an exciting story. When Bond shot the man who had shown up to kill him, nobody I knew expected what happened. After the Goldfinger film, several of us wore suits and tried vodka martinis. A great series and a great Bond actor.
The sets are stars as well in this movie
Miss Jamaica 61. ❤
The first Bond Movie I saw was Thunderball. Born in 1953, I had entered secondary school in 1964. In Trinidad, all movies had to pass a Board of Censors. Dr No was passed for 14 years and over. This was indicated on the Cinema page of the newspapers. All my school friends of my age were chatty about having seen Dr No. My religious Parents who followed the rules precisely, forbade me from going to see the movie. There were 2 cinemas close to where I lived. A movie only spent a few weeks at a cinema before it was moved. Now, every time I wanted to see a Bond movie, it was always beyond my age. Gold finger was passed for 18 years and over. We live in modern times. A youth of today cannot imagine what it was like in those times. 😮
Thank you. Love this sort of Film Buff. Thanks
I do not miss the days when trailers showed you the entire movie.
The three Bond films that started the series are my personal favorites. Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger in that order. After that, the gadgets started taking over and the raw masculine element in the Bond character started taking a back seat to all the toys he had to use.
This was a very interesting video. It helped me learn a lot of new things about this scene:
- I didn't know that Quarrel was the guy who drove Felix's car
- I missed that the photographer was hanging around in the background of some of the other scenes
- Similarly, I missed that she had a conversation with Mr. Jones
- Never realised that the shots of the plane and control tower shots were stock footage
Happy to hear you found it of interest.
They reused the stock footage of the airport in FRWL.
I saw the movie when it came out and went into shock. I had never seen anything like it. Years later, my late wife was Broccoli;s 5th grade teacher.
I was 15 and couldn't stop talking about the film to everybody. I met.
The movie that turned my life into vibrant colors... I was 9 ❤
good video….the highlight here is the trailer at the end. Never saw it before, the voice overdubs from Connery were a crack-up. That trailer gave away so much of the movie….crazy!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it's like a condensed version of the movie with ironic audio commentary from James Bond.
This was VERY interesting - more please!
Thanks. When I get time, I'll make something similar on another film.
We've LOVED visiting all these spots on our hosted Jamaica Bond tours!
Great to hear!
In Japane the title for 'Dr. No' wound up being called 'We Don't Want a Doctor!' (in Japanese).
'62, a perfect year all around.
Well, done! This is quite a unique look inside the process; much more insider detail of the daily process than any typical "behind the scenes" look. Likely more recognized and appreciated by those of us who work/worked in the industry, but I like that folks that do not get a deeper look. Thanks for this. If you have others, I'd love to see them.
Thanks. Yes, I'd love to do more, and I will when I find the time...
My second favorite bond film, after only the GOAT. Goldfinger
Dr. No was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was 5. Years later I found 3 Bond novels around the house - LIVE AND LET DIE / OHMSS / and CASINO ROYALE. I was confused because Fleming described Bond as looking somewhat like Hoagy Carmichael. In my mind as I read all 14 novels, though I tried, I had trouble envisioning Connery. Connery was by far the best Bond, but when I saw the Timothy Dalton movies, I thought he was the guy who mostly resembled what my adolescent mind had envisioned. But certainly never Hoagy Carmichael - who strangely looks like Fleming himself.
Dalton was without doubt the perfect Bond. When you read the books it's he that you can see as Bond.
Your parents let you see that at 5 ?
I’ve seen dr no many times and never noticed that Quarrel was the driver.
The day I was born.
you mean hatched.
That is so weird - me too!
I hope you've been as successful as Bond!!!
I wish
So was I. It was the same day the Beatles released their first hit " Love me do" and the Cuban missile crisis started. Quite the day.
Also a wonderful lesson in both filmmaking and screenwriting from a great movie
1962 DR.NO started the famous franchise .
1962 Ringo joined The Beatles .
Great observation. That's a defining year right there. The most successful British film franchise ever and the most most successful band ever both releasing their debut offerings in the UK.
Amazingly 'Dr No' & 'Love Me Do' were released on the SAME day in the UK. 5th October 1962. What are the odds?
❤THIS MOSTLY ENTERTAINING ,INCREDIBLE MOVIE FRANCISE LONG LIVE BOND,JAMES BOND!!😊😊😊😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Enjoyed it. It was my introduction to JB as a kid. The licking of the bulb was a brilliant touch of malevolent intent.
Glad you liked it!
Sweet Jamaica
Fascinating video!
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
@@wordsmithpd You should do more in this style. I love the early Bond movies.
When I have time, I'll try to do some more. The information/images are not always available.
Wow I love this detail of the film management! It’s an extraordinary story more interesting than the film!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite Bond film . It establishes bond as ruthless, he told the guy who tried to kill him, "You've had your six" then just kills him, and when he wanted to go out but the girl insisted they stay in he kinda sulks, it's the little things i like , btw they never should have killed felix , they could have done an American "Bond" with him being the central charactor .
He is quite different in the books.
I watched this vid never thinking I'd really like it all that much. I was wrong. This is interesting to me even though Dr. No is a middling JB movie for me (I like it but it's not anywhere near my favorite). Hoping there'll be more like this.
I enjoyed this video.
Glad you enjoyed it
More please!
Jamaica gained independence 7 months after the shooting here.
Yes, that's the thought I was having when I noticed the "colonial hat" on some official at the airport. Such attire would have never been tolerated in a country just emerging from the British Empire - except in a movie, of course, but the bit was from a field survey of the airport premises, and it really was filmed at the airport lobby as it could be seen in Jan 1962.
If you watch to the end, notice how the original trailer gives away so many big moments in the film - I mistakenly thought this was more of a modern trend in trailers.
I’ve seen several of the Bond movies, and Dr. No (for me personally) is the best. Very few special effects which allows the viewer to concentrate on the characters and the story. A bit of trivia: if you look closely at the spider crawling on James Bond’s chest, you ‘ll see that there is a piece of glass between him and the spider.
No… the spider was crawling on a projector screen with the film of bond and the bed playing on it
@@pfcwar5150 Connery was extremely afraid of spiders, and was so anxious during the scene where a tarantula crawls over him in bed, that they had to lay a sheet of glass on him for the spider to crawl up. You can see the glass flattening his skin, in the final version of the movie. For the close ups, stuntman Bob Simmons stepped in. He, too, was scared of spiders, and said it was the most terrifying thing he had ever filmed.
Never thought about them removing glass to avoid camera reflection. Thanks for that detail.
Glad to help
The best true Bond aficionado video I have seen. And I have watched quite a few!
Thanks. I appreciate the comment.
Recently saw some " on set " pics taken during the shoot . Really fascinating .!
The new book is full of them... www.taschen.com/en/limited-editions/film/08152/james-bond-dr-no/
*007*(philipines) Sean Connery was the best bond James bond of all time
I don't like Sean Connery, James Bond, or spy films, but this was still fascinating. The trailer shown at the end was bad though, that had everything I don't like in Bond. 😂
Bond fans will love it.
Very interesting, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
This is an excellently watchable video and topic.
Thank you.
forever my favourite well done duncan
Thank you!
M sends his regards.
A great and informative video. Thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
That was excellent !
Thank you!
Sean Connery will always be THE James Bond. I only like the first 4 Bond movies, & OHMSS.. Owing to Diana Rigg.
What I notice in the Bond/chauffeur scene was the 1960 Cadillac in the background with collapsed air bag suspension in the rear with the front end hiked up. Pity those poor buyers of those cars!
Thanks for the great video! I was in Jamaica as a 3 year old kid between the 19 - 21st Jan 1962 with my parents. We stayed in Courtleigh Manor Hotel before flying to Belize. Mum told me I fell in the deep end of the pool and was rescued by one of the cast. To this day I don't now if it was a goody or a baddy who saved me.
What a great story. Obviously, they were a goody!
Who Helped Was Jack Lord Who Had Worn Sunglasses.
Sean Connery was James Bond. Everyone else who played James Bond was just actors.
Roger Moore wasn't even an actor.
This is a great video. Amazing to see how it was filmed. Is it just me or did older film cameras like these used here have more atomsphere? Maybe an expert could explain.
First, they used film. Second, there were different types of film, and developing processes. Third, the cinematographer-in this case Ted Moore-decided the amount of light, and how it was captured by the camera.
@@wordsmithpd Thanks for that :)
Enjoyed that.
Thanks.
Sean for me was my ‘bond’. Not because he was the first but I still ❤everything about the 60’s as a decade(I was born in 1965)
I have enjoyed watching this video and to learn more about ‘behind the scenes’.
In a number of interviews Sean gave back in the day he mentioned how long filming ran over on each one, saying 6 months spent on YOLT.
That meant he could not give first call to other films.
I read a book a few years ago written by Robert Sellers about Broccoli and Saltzman and I feel at the end it was not WHAT THEY KNEW about making films BUT WHO THEY KnEW
Like Ken Adam
Would be interested in watching similar on the other 4 films
👍 👍 😍😍❤️❤️🏴🏴
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video.
Sean Connery was contracted to work on the movies for a number of years, and could work on other movies between Bonds, and he fulfilled his contract to the letter.
The producers had many years of experience behind them, and they cast the crew and the actors very well, as well as shaping both the scripts and the final cuts of the movies, so it is unfair to think of them as being observers to the process. Also, they both put their own money into the film-a huge financial risk.
@@wordsmithpd thinking about the huge amount of money made even back then and the money invested it was such a gamble.
My late parents met and married in 1963 and were in their mid teens during WW2 and by the early 50’s rationing was still at its height. They went out to the cinema (my parents did not have a TV - not many did) or the Theatre
At the Cinema and also at the Theatre every film was drab, black and white and ‘kitchen sink’ living out their own lives. They wanted colour and escapism
When they went to see Dr.No they got ESCAPISM and SOOO much more.
Fast cars
Great food
Great fashion
And someone who was licensed to kill for his government
👍 👍 🏴🏴
Sean Connery ❤❤❤ is Bond
Nicely done Paul Duncan, I really enjoyed that.
Thunderball would be a good one 😉
Many thanks! And thanks for the suggestion. Let's see what pops up in the future...
In early 1962, my 14yo self experienced what we now call "synchronicity"!....I was in the neighborhood library, and was looking for some spy-adventure-type of book to read...I stumbled onto a few books on the shelf, all having been written by some guy named Ian Fleming. I grabbed one book-DR NO-and began to flip through the pages. My 14 year old brain was stimulated to read of some guy named James Bond, in process of seducing a woman!...Tepid stuff now, but stunning to me back then!...I proceeded to check out the book, and showed the few "hot" passages to my friends, who teased me for being too "excited" about the book. A few days later, a couple of thoughts hit me...I formed a general idea as to what this Bond dude would look like...and I also hoped, that someday a movie would be made. Imagine my happy shock, when, less than a year later, DR NO showed up on the silver screen!...I talked my buddies into attending the premiere...my amazement continued, when Sean Connery appeared, blithely saying "Bond, James Bond"...Yikes!...He looked very much like the imagined Bond in my mind....I was in a dream-like state during the whole movie--and so were my now "converted" friends! I still am bewildered, as to the sheer coincidence of my discovering the Bond books, and then later on, having a movie make my dreams come true! The 1960s truly were magical years!
Thanks for this lovely memory.
Dr. No was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was 5. Years later I found 3 Bond novels around the house - LIVE AND LET DIE / OHMSS / and CASINO ROYALE. I was confused because Fleming described Bond as looking somewhat like Hoagy Carmichael. In my mind as I read all 14 novels, though I tried, I had trouble envisioning Connery.

But certainly never Hoagy Carmichael - who strangely looks like Fleming himself .
Underneath the mango tree me honey”. I would have been in my mothers stomach when DR NO was first released in 1962. As much as I love Ursula Andress in her white bikini I love Miss Taro a little bit more. Like Fiona Volpe ( Luciana Paluzzi in Thunderball she didn’t succumb to the charms of Bond James Bond!! Joseph Wiseman set the bar incredibly high as the first Bond villain. Suave and sophisticated and very lethal. Jack Lord almost out cools Sean Connery ,with his sunglasses and laid back way of speaking” Gently Bud Gently”. The producers Saltzman and Broccoli wanted Jack Lord back for the third Bond film Goldfinger but Jack wanted too much $$$$ So they went with Canadian actor Cedric Linder. Lord would get the gig on Hawaii Five-O a few years later which made him a fortune and Internationally famous!! I wouldn’t see DR No until the summer of 1980 when HBO would show one Bond film a month but Multiple times. I like it that much more every time I see it. I feel that Sean Connery became Bond when the cast and crew returned to London and Bond meets DR No face to face during the famous Dinner scene. Jamaican Locations,tight and taut script b great character actors throughout Bernard Lee,John Ki. ,Eunice Gayson as Sylvia Trench,Jack Lord,What’s not to love. Here we are 62- years later still talking about DR NO and wondering who the next actor will be to play Bond James Bond???
Yes, Jack Lord knew how to keep still and hold the frame. But director Terence Young gave him those moments as well. Young was very adept at giving his actors a good entrance to make them memorable.
I have thought, that Jack Lord could have played James Bond very well too! Similar good looks, body, charismatic also.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Yes, I could see him in the role.
@@wordsmithpd Wrong nationality. James Bond can only be a Scot, Australian, English or Irish.
Am I right in assuming this is the level of detail that will be found in your new Taschen Dr No book on the day to day filming,Paul?
Yes, the new book has this amount of detail for the whole shoot.
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Jack Lord could have been Felix Leiter in the subsequent Bond films, he could have been a regular character, but Jack Lord demanded equal billing with Sean Connery and equal pay, he also wanted Felix Leiter to have more involvement in the stories, basically he wanted the films to be a double act, Leiter and Bond....Broccoli was already annoyed with Jack Lord for turning up late for the first day of filming , combined with his demands, he dropped him from any future involvement on Bond films..and so the convention of different actors playing Felix came about.
...so, it took me until WELL into the comments section that I realised you were THE Paul Duncan. :-O That explains how excellent this video is!
One thing I've got to ask about -- that's Rietti and Van Der Zyl dubbing all the men and women in this scene who aren't Connery, right?
I'm A Paul Duncan!
Yes, there were quite a few people redubbed as I outline in my book JAMES BOND: DR. NO.
Juliet Nissen dubbed the Photographer, and Frank Singuineau (he plays the waiter in the hotel room serving the martini) dubbed Mr. Jones.
@@wordsmithpd I could've sworn that was Nikki VanDerZyl, but I'm happy to be proven wrong by someone who knows. 🙂Interesting to think that they flew Louis Blaazer to the UK and STILL dubbed him.
(And, for the record, I own a copy of the 2012 edition of your JAMES BOND ARCHIVE book!)
@@blofeld39 I had access to the original documents, so could check who dubbed who. The interior government house scenes were supposed to be shot in Jamaica, but they ran out of time, so flew the two actors out, revamped sets in the UK. and shot them over a couple of days. The dubbing was months later, when the actors returned to Jamaica.
@@wordsmithpd Right -- was I wrong that they shot the club interiors in the UK, too?
@@blofeld39
All the club interiors were shot in Jamaica.
My father worked as a chemist at the time. His lab was shown in the film. I have
no idea what the connection was about, It was Glaxo Corp.
A real lab was not used in the film, but Ken Adam and his team did research to construct a lab set, so your father may have helped/consulted in that capacity. They had consultants for the casino, communications, and reactor sets, so it makes sense they would have some for Professor Dent's lab set.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎
This was a film about a secret agent it was ok for a film
Just 4 years old and 8 days old
Great post? The process of filming is quite the challenge? 🎉
Very!
Great thx. The photo lady was hired at the airport? She was working behind then ticket counter at the time? Mr. Jones, the driver, was her brother? Her voice was dubbed.
Yes, all these details are in the book JAMES BOND: DR. NO. Specifically, Mr. Jones was her brother-in-law.
I believe it may have something to do with the connections with the mines,
If I could go back in time, I'd suggest to the producers to: have Connery do the "walk on and fire" because the guy used looks to short as doesn't move well. Lose the hat. Get letter more masculine sunglasses. Show the original shooting of Dent six times. Redo the pipe escape scenes to be more terrifying/torture-like the book describes. And biggest of all I'd tell them to get John Barry to do the entire score to get the Bond sound straight from the beginning. Oh, and do a proper car chase scene without back screen and same shots at same curves in the road.
As per the book I wrote on Dr. No that has just been published, there was not the budget or time to do many of these things. Also, it is much easier to comment on these things with 60 years of hindsight-at the time, this was ground-breaking, and punching above its weight.
Thank you, most interesting. What about second day? Only joking, though I would watch.
Would love to do the whole shoot like this... but don't have the time. If you want more, watch my JAMES BOND: DR. NO unboxing: ruclips.net/video/z4iMsmmHiXQ/видео.htmlsi=VRhY1s_pTDdPWvHA
Where do you get all this information?
I write/research movie books and have access to archives. You can see some of the books I write in my unboxing videos.
Wow! Great stuff!@@wordsmithpd
Excellent. Could you please do the same for the best Bond film, From Russia With Love.
Thank you. I'll see what I can do. They take a long time to research/write/make...
The only go thing about Dr No was actor Joseph Wiseman as Dr No silly film metal Dragon.
He was so cool. (Sean Connery), I wish I could be like him. I tried reading the Fleming books. Disappointing compared to the real Bond. Much like Doyle's Holmes. Not much compared to Rathbone's.
Each actor is a different Bond, and Fleming's Bond is different too. We all have our favourites and preferences.
@@wordsmithpd Some of them were appalling. I saw George Lazenby. Not bad. I always thought he was a disappointment. Now, looking at him again, he was quite good.
No, I hear what you're saying but I'm talking about a complex mix of stature, delivery, appearance, movement, voice. I don't expect everyone to understand. Cubby Broccoli chose Connery because he moved great. He understood. Some people are better actors than others and fit the part more appropriately.
Who was better than Basel Rathbone? No one. He was the chosen one. It's no my opinion. Soupy Sales could never take that part. It's not an opinion thing.
@@alext8828 FYI--Lazenby, in 1970 was doing a film. and his actress was a gal named Kirsten Nefir...But Kirsten held up production, incurring George's wrath, when she told him that she had "fallen" for a major Rock star-Jimi Hendrix!..and needed a few days off!...Lazenby chewed her out for hanging with a "druggie" musician! A couple weeks later, Hendrix died, and Kirsten by then had returned to movie-making with George!...IMO, Lazenby did look the part, but was just a little stiff, not quite the charismatic figure that Connery was.
Read about Connery--He was not a very nice guy, when it came to women, especially his wives...He casually admitted to occasionally "slapping" women around--to Barbara Walters-, in an interview...She was aghast at his philosophy, which included his opinion that "Women actually like, and need it!" Maybe his Scottish culture had something to do with that attitude?
Slate 2 take 2 CROWN GRAPHIC not SPEED GRAPHIC. Small point, but the speed is 50% thicker and nearly twice the weight.
Thanks for the correction!
@@wordsmithpd Not a problem, if your not an old-time photographer you probably won't know the difference. Just like I wasn't sure about the pistol makes & models.
Thanks. Yes, Thanks to another expert I just discovered it's a Walther PP in the film, not a PPK.
Check your dynamics.
i heard this was the only bond movie where connery did not have a hair piece
I have just published a book on the film, JAMES BOND: DR. NO and I found a reference to Sean Connery's hairpiece, but I do not know if it was applied during shooting.
I don't think Lord liked playing second fiddle to connery
Lot of hassle filming scenes
Maybe better to do a documentary
Adlibing all the dialogue!
It's always a hassle making movies... There are no shortcuts.
Festinating.
Thanks!
Doctor THOUGH.
字幕は不要です
This video is interesting, but sadly unwatchable with the soundlevel changes. Almost whispering comments followed by blazing loud music.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try better next time.
Hiring Jamaican leading actors to play bit parts. Big big mistake.
Many of the problems could have been resolved by abandoning the antiquated procedures governing feature film production : having a writer/director for example
There was no professional TV, film, or theatre network in Jamaica at this time. They were all amateur actors from the "little theatre" network.
Hierarchy is exactly the same. In fact makes it even worse!
Always thought Connery was the best Bond, which he was until Daniel Craig came along. I hate saying this, he just pips Connery!
Yawn
Time for your meds.
