"Dr. No" contains two scenes that later appear in the first Timothy Dalton Bond flick, "The Living daylights": the first is where Bond says "I'll be there in an hour" and then changes it to an hour and a half when he is seduced by the woman he is with. The second is the billboard assasination scene. "Dr. No" also plays homage to "North by Northwest" when the helicopters are chasing Bond. And some of the music was later used in "Thunderball. This is also the first appearence of Desmond Lewelyn as "Q". "M" and Moneypenny solidify thei characters in this, the second Bond film. When the Robert Shaw character gives himself away by ordering red wine with fish it is far less subtle than in the book where the character orders the wrong type of white wine.

In fact. you can order red with fish!
It depend on which one and...which one.

  and order a New York Strip, medium rare, with a silky Bernaise sauce topping it. Then your red (well, most reds) will fit perfectly

    And can you tell me please why pass on one of them when you can have both?
    I make the best Bearnaise in the world....

      I previously thought Mrs. Warrior made the best Bernaise. Whatever, its one of life's great treats. Ladled over Strip Steak, on top of crab meat stuffed baked Red Snapper (if you like that sort of thing), or just a cup of it used as a dipping sauce for steamed artichoke leaves and hearts. Of course with a fine chardonnay to wash it down. Bon appetit!

        Fresh fish never smell or taste fishy, of course it taste like...fish.
        And a good " Hollandaise " with Asparaguses, you know the white one, just fresh cut out from the soil...
        With small " Wiener schnitzel " and boiled potatoes....
        Yes, life can be great....
        
        Exactly! The problem with a lot of American market fish is it is frozen on the ship - tinear 10:06:12 03/15/06 (3)

        and then thawed at the grocers, sometime staying in that state for a long period of time. The purchaser gets it home to find the texture is either too soft, too hard... or it has a powerful "aroma."

        are extraordinary. Since my limit is under $30/bottle, I haven't sampled a really good one yet. One if these days tho...
        Of course, I'm sure you haven't had the pleasure of one of our cabernets from here in Texas. Grown with tender loving care up in the Llano, several thousand feet altitude, hot days, cool nights, gravelly soil, the vines fight to survive, producing surprisingly complex cabs that age nicely in the bottle. One such winery, my favorite tho not necessarily the best, is linkified below,

        Tinear says you have some very good too. The one from Oregon.
        Difficult to get here.
        The problem, for me and US wines is that your law is allowing to put anything in them!
        Of course if you have a winemaker that you know...
        The prices for a good Bourgogne are getteing out of reach. On the other side the Bordeaux
        are falling down, of course not the very great one...
        If you are luck you may find a relatively good Pinot Noir for $15, one like the " Domaine de Jadot "...in a good year it may a good drink.
        2005 seems a very great year, almost every where, BTW.
Don't you mean "From Russia With Love"?..... - danj 19:55:11 03/14/06 (1)
Dr. No was not the first Bond film but is considered the first in the "series" and was the first made with Sean Connery. Robert Shaw was in FRWL but not in Dr. No. FRWL was released a year after Dr. No and it started many of the Bond cliches. Dr. No is much more conventional than most of the subsequent films - it contains few of the cliche sequences (I never said the cliches weren't effective) which sometimes clutter some of the later films - esp some of the lesser Roger Moore epics.

Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell (M and Moneypenny) both made their debuts in Dr. No.

  I mmust have had "Dr. No" on my mind even though I was writing about "From Russia with Love". How dumb. My apologies to all.
