On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley take a deep dive into the making of the very first Bond film: 1962's 'Dr. No'.

The episode explores:

How Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli landed the rights to adapt Ian Fleming's novels for the screen, and how they landed on Sean Connery to be the first movie 007.

How they decided which book to adapt first, and the team of screenwriters that brought it to life.

The team of creatives assembled for the film who would go on to shape the films forever, from set design and music, to directing and editing.

The exotic locations of Jamaica, the Pinewood sets, and the many iconic moments that defined Bond in the movies.

The titles, posters, premieres, and release, box office and enduring legacy of the very first James Bond film.

Stick around to the end to find out where we rank 'Dr. No' against the other films we've covered so far.

James Bond will return... in next week's James Bond's A-Z Podcast.
