...Ursula Andress (or Un-dress, as they called her on the Doctor No Set) may have been more decorative, but Miss Bianchi makes a far more appealing heroine. She even shows some acting talent in struggling against the ridiculous characterization cooked up for her by the adapters. But alas, even beauty and pluck cannot save her from looking silly at least half of her time on camera. One sample exchange...
...Texas, apparently intended as a jestern, or horselaugh opera, isn't really funny. It isn't really funny to see two overage destroyers (Martin and Sinatra) wallowing in floods of booze. It isn't really funny to see two top-heavy tootsies (Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress) involved in a tasteless chest contest. And it isn't really funny to hear line after line that develops a double meaning from a single idea...
...sneaky geologist. 007 senses that somebody is out to get him. Could it be the mysterious Doctor No, the mad scientist who lives in a mountain of bird droppings on Crab Key? 007 paddles over to have a look around.

Better still, Ursulla Andress (reportedly known as "Undress" on location) is just the sort of girl a tired agent deserves, and when she squeezes into a pink and white sam-ful even 007 is impressed. Only Bernard Lee as M, Bond's secret service boss, is really disappointing...
...three women. But in two notable instances, the filmmakers felt a need to tone down Author Fleming's unbuttoned imagination. In the book, the heroine is walking a beach nude with a knife-belt strapped about her when Bond first sees her. In the movie, Actress Ursula Andress fills a wet bikini as if she were going downwind behind twin spinnakers. In the book, the villainous Doctor No is buried alive inside a 20-ft. mound of bird droppings. In the movie, he is cleanly boiled in a nuclear reactor...
