All signs lead to mysterious Chinaman Dr No, and Bond, accompanied by CIA agent Quarrel, sneaks onto No s island, Crab Key. Dr No s Dragon . Honey, played by Ursula Andress, remains as memorable as any Bond girl. He is awe-inspiring and cold, but still realistic, keeping him as one of the best villains. Bond is then sent to his cell, as Honey is clamped to the ground and left to die.
Bond survives No s deathtrap of an assault course to escape.
He disguises himself and sabotages No s reactor, throwing the iron-handed villain into boiling water, before rescuing Honey to escape just before the reactor blows. Bond, Honey and Dr. No, and well as M and Moneypenny, provided a highly successful thriller, and an excellent prototype for films to come. Broccolli and Saltzman used their budget wisely, producing a thriller that looked much more expensive than it actually was. The film was a blockbuster success, for a number of reasons. Firstly, the decadent and dashing Bond s vices turned him into a superb anti-hero, and condemnation of Bond by the Vatican and the Kremlin caused audiences to flock in huge numbers to the film, which had received good critical acclaim.
