007 makes his cinematic debut in the original Bond thriller, still one of the superspy’s finest outings, despite the legion of overblown entries that followed. Ken Adams’ outlandish, futuristic sets, director Terence Young’s cool, stylistic edge and a remarkably assured performance from Sean Connery guarantee Bond number one remains a classic.
