Dr. No, directed by Terrence Young, from a screenplay by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwod and Berkley Mather, premieres in London. Despite its low budget and inauspicious reception, the film marks the debut of cinema's most enduring franchise with the peerless Sean Connery as the definitive embodiment of author Ian Fleming's iconic creation. Co-starring Ursula Andress, Joseph Wiseman, Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell.
