Before there was Dr. Julius Irving, there was Dr. Julius No. Before there was Daniel Craig, there was Sean Connery. Before there was freedom in Eastern Europe, long before actually, there was Dr. No. Before the fall of Communism, before the ambiguity of bad men set upon us in more recent times, we had clear cut villains who wanted to take over the world, preserve it and plunder it. We had our madman in Dr. No. We had our hero in James Bond. It was a more simple time. Much like a Communist dictator from back the day, Dr. No, the villainous character in the film, was the quintessential maniacal madman who wanted everyone to have a little while he escaped with the most. Unlike today's mad men, the world was worth stealing back in the 1960s, not worth blowing up like many of today's radicals think.
