“East, west are just cardinal directions, compass marks are just as stupid as the rest.” These words were spoken from the screen in 1962, playing with an ominous mechanical hand by Doctor No, an evil genius about to rule the world , a member of the mysterious and highly criminal organization Specter and the first adversary of James Bond in film history. Christopher Lee, Noel Coward or Max Von Sydow could have played this role in Terence Young's film, but it ended up going to Joseph Wiseman.
