James Bond arrives in theaters to become a cultural icon with the release of "Dr. No."

Matthew M said...: Back in the days of double features, I went to see a 'cowboy' movie because of the beautiful Alana Ladd (yes, Alan Ladd's daughter). It was really a bad movie, don't even remember the name, but the other movie was 'Dr. No' and I wasn't going to stay but the way the movie started caught my attention and not only did I stay and watch it all the way through I was hooked! Was a fan up until Timothy Dalton. Loved his Bond but his movies were so long, boring and drawn out that I couldn't stand it. Pierce Brosnan (who I really liked as Remington Steele) and Daniel Craig have not inspired me to watch their versions of the character or the movies. Have seen bits and pieces and think 'The Bond Era' is done - I hope.; 10/06/2011 4:49 PM
