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.
