It took nearly a decade for Ian Fleming's British spy to move from the page to the big screen. Not counting an hour-long Casino Royale adaptation for television the author hated, it wasn't until 1962's Dr. No that James Bond truly arrived in the medium. British director Terence Young had a background in action, spy and war films, so it's not hard to see why Bond producers Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli settled on the filmmaker as a natural fit for the material. Young directed three of the first four 007 pictures. All of them are immortally iconic, thanks in no small part to Sean Connery, whose embodiment of the spy arrived fully formed from the moment he uttered, "Bond, James Bond." Even in the moments before that, really.
