Description
Dr. No, the first James Bond film, premiered at the London Pavilion in 1962 and went on to launch a cinematic phenomenon that has endured for decades.
This comprehensive study of Dr. No explores its historical context, tracing the film's development from Ian Fleming's novels to its transnational production process. Chapman examines the film's place within the UK and Hollywood film industries, as well as its relationship to the changing social and cultural landscape of the 1960s.
With a thorough analysis of the film's problematic politics of gender and race, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Dr. No's cultural legacy and its enduring impact on popular cinema.
