Dr. No (’62) will always be my favorite 007 film, in part because Sean Connery has a leaner frame and a narrower face in this than in any 007 film, and because he’s not wearing a toupee. (The first rug appeared two years hence in Goldfinger.) Please notice the black windowbox bars, which create the 1.66 aspect ratio. 1.66 is the correct a.r. for this and From Russia With Love, as they were framed according to British standards. The series went 1.85 with Goldfinger.
