Vesper Lynd
Vesper Lynd is a pun on West Berlin. Like her namesake, the Cold War-era city of Berlin, Vesper's loyalties are split down the middle. In the novel, the character explains that she was born on a "dark and stormy" night, and her parents named her "Vesper" after the Latin word meaning evening (see vespers) to commemorate the night. Fleming created a cocktail recipe in the novel that Bond names after Vesper. The "Vesper martini" became very popular after the novel's publication, and gave rise to the famous "shaken, not stirred" catchphrase immortalized in the Bond films. The actual name for the drink (as well as its complete recipe) is uttered on screen for the first time in the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale.

Is Daniel Craig the best Bond since Connery?
Yes - He's an amazing addition to the revamped franchise.
Pyeman73 says:
I love me some Moore, but before the dawn of the Craig era the franchise was in trouble. Now it's breaking records.
No - How dare you discredit Roger Moore!
christopherwell says:
Actually, I think all the Bond actors have brought something special to the role.
Goldfinger: Opening Sequence - 1964
Many of the iconic aspects of a typical James Bond film were established in Dr. No, beginning with what is known as the gun barrel sequence, an introduction to the character through the view of a gun barrel, and a highly stylized main title sequence, both created by Maurice Binder.
