She could mersmerize you with a look.

This is a still from the 1961 British comedy, On The Fiddle (American title: Operation Snafu) made a year before Dr. No was released and made Sean an international star.

The industry publication, The Monthly Film Review made this comment about Sean’s performance:

“Connery is almost equally believable. His slow, conscience-ridden and rather gormless Pascoe is the ideal foil for Pope's quick-wittedness. Only at the end does the film lose contact with his essential character when he miraculously demonstrates a wily bravery in besting the enemy. “

I often see these long escalators running constantly, and sometimes empty. Like the one in the photo at Laird on Line 5. They must consume a ton of electricity.

Could they not be fitted with motion detection technology like in some Asian and European subways so they commence moving only when passengers are on the stairs?

Could save lots of electricity, especially on holidays and non-peak hours.

This is probably later in 1950s when he seriously began bodybuilding.

What a difference a few years makes.

Likely an early-1950s picture when he was participating in body-building contests.

Those high-waisted, double-pleated pants also don’t seem very high fashion.

He still had a decent hairline back then.

Was visiting Vichy for the day. It is an exquisitly maintained town and must have been affluent for the past two hundred years on account of being a spa town, like 12 others in Europe where the Royalty and rich “took in the waters”.

Was intrigued to discover this little estate on the waterfront where French Marshall Philippe Pétain lived for the four years as head of the Vichy collaborationist government.

Called the Pavilion Sévigné, it was a 18th century house.

I also discovered that Vichy was chosen as the base after exploring Claremont-Ferrand, despite its small size, due to its excellent train and telephone connections with the rest of Europe on account of the rich and famous visitors.

This photograph made me wonder whether Jean-Paul would have made a good Bond (of course without the accent) after Sean.

The similarities between this scene and the beach scene, where Bond kills Largo’s henchman, Vargas, with a spear gun in Thunderball are striking.

And, that two-piece bikini seems to be Ursula’s favourite costume.

This is likely from the 1965 action adventure, “Up To His Ears” (French: Les Tribulations d’un Chinois en Chine) that starred Jean-Paul with Ursula.

The chemistry between Honor Blackman (aka Pussy Galore) and Connery electrified the screen in Goldfinger.

Can anyone place this scene in the movie?

A BTS photo, made during the filming (likely of Ursula’s entry from the sea) of Dr No at the estate of socialite Mrs Minnie Simpson, at Roaring River, Ocho Rios, Jamaica during Jan/Feb. 1962.

Does anyone recognize the third person in this photo?

Seems like a photo from the set of Dr No in Jamaica. Probably the location of the waterfall scene where Ursula emerges from the sea.

Can anyone identify the brand of what Sean is drinking? Its not Red Stripe beer.

And, whose legs could those be?

I saw this sign on the 103 bus going North on Mt Pleasant. Tried accessing it on my phone but that signal was nowhere to be found by my iPhone.

Has anyone discovered this WiFI on a bus.
