This is a 1962 James Bond film directed by Terence Young, based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. It is the first instalment of a successful series of 23 Bond films. Although produced with a low budget, it became a financial success. James Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of a fellow British agent. The trail leads him to the underground base of Dr. No, who is plotting to disrupt an early American manned space launch with a radio beam weapon. The first bond girl is Honeychile Rider, whoser name was shortened and changed to Honey Ryder. She is played by Swiss actress Ursula Andress. Due to her heavy accent, she was dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl. Her entrance in the film, emerging from the ocean in a white bikini with two large sea shells, while the sun shines on her wet blonde hair, is considered a classic James Bond moment and it has become one of the most popular scenes in cinematic history.
