Today marks 60 years since Dr. No, starring Sean Connery, premiered on October 5, 1962. Each October 5, it is James Bond Day around the world.
I first viewed Dr. No a year or so later on a double bill with From Russia With Love with my parents and have been hooked ever since.
From 7HOFM (Australia):
Bond. James Bond.
He’s the most famous spy in the world who really needs no introduction, but we couldn’t resist including that famous line.
And October 5 every year is Global James Bond Day to show our love for 007!
The date of James Bond Day comes from the World Premiere of the first James Bond film, Dr No, in 1962, in which Sean Connery played 007.
60 years of Bond
This year marks the 60th anniversary of James Bond franchise, and a fabulous highlights video was played at this year’s Academy Awards to celebrate.
It’s a terrific reminder of what makes James Bond so enthralling after so many decades and was a particularly wonderful tribute for Bond actors Sean Connery who died in 2020 and Roger Moore who died in 2017.
By the way, the "Bond. James Bond" line was not in the original Dr. No script. Sean Connery came up with it.
