Non-musical history for today: 1962 – The first James Bond film, based on Ian Fleming’s novel Dr. No, was released in Britain. Incidentally, I am listening to this book at the moment. And, whilst it was the first official film (authorized by Fleming), it was the sixth book after (from front to back): Casino Royale (1953), Live and Let Die (1954), Moonraker (1955) (it had almost NOTHING to do with the film – that was capitalizing on the Star Wars craze), Diamonds Are Forever (1956), and From Russia With Love (1957). And who can forget Ursula Andress on the beach collecting shells? I can’t.
