"In my opinion, they started this whole larger-than-life approach to action-adventure pictures," screenwriter Richard Maibaum said in a 1986 interview for Backstory 1: Interviews with Screenwriters of Hollywood’s Golden Age (via CommanderBond.net). But if the film had been made just five years earlier, the result could've been not only a much different film, but a lackluster response from filmgoers.
In one of the few interviews in which he discussed James Bond, Connery explained that he thought the appeal of Dr. No stemmed from how different it was from the boring "kitchen sink" films being made at the time.
It's well-known that Ian Fleming, who wrote the James Bond novels, wanted a different actor to play Bond. His list included Cary Grant, Richard Burton, and David Niven, among others. However, the actor at the top of his list, Richard Todd, was unavailable. While Fleming originally didn't want Connery, he came around after seeing his portrayal in Dr. No. He even gave Bond Scottish ancestry in his next novel, You Only Live Twice.
Despite wishing he'd been paid more, Connery took pride in making the films that changed action-adventure films forever.
“They were exciting and funny and had good stories and pretty girls and intriguing locations," he said. "And it didn’t take anything for granted.”
