Of the 16 main-title sequences that Maurice Binder created for the James Bond films, the one created for Dr. No feels the freshest and most primal. Why? It’s the least sexist (no silhouettes of female hotbods floating around) and the most atmospherically attuned as it teems with Jamaican flavor.
Binder’s throughly sexist work on For Your Eyes Only (’81) is the second best.
The third best is the one for Goldfinger (’64), which Binder didn’t handle. Robert Brownjohn did that one.
Binder died in 1991 from lung cancer. Daniel Kleinman became the new title designer for GoldenEye (’95).
