Dr No. Is No More.


Joseph Wiseman was the first and most suave of all the James Bond villians. He introduced us to the Bond villian just as Sean Connery introduced us to James Bond. He passed away on Monday at 91 years of age. Below are a couple of links for those who are interested in knowing a little more about him.
I remember standing with Gerry Twyford in O'Connell St looking at the big ' Dr. No ' marquee on the Adelphi Cinema I think it was. The one halfway down O'Connell St. on the right hand side coming from Trinity College. Was that the Adelphi or the Savoy? Is it still there. There were so many cinemas in those days.
It was the first James Bond. I had never heard of James Bond until then but Gerry knew about him.
I just watched Dr. No the other night.
