Moonraker? But wasn't that Roger Moore punning his way through an overblown travesty of one of Fleming's finest thrillers? That was the '79 Moonraker. Personally, I prefer the '56.

The forgotten Bond film.

Like most people who know a little about these things, I always thought Dr No was the first (not counting the 1954 TV Casino Royale). Well I was wrong. And I was also under the impression that the only Bond film Orson Welles had anything to do with was that other Casino Royale, the 1967 spoof, in which he guested as the villainous Le Chiffre. Wrong again...
