Doctor No. Ian Fleming fans will get more than their money's worth in this somewhat overdone dollop of derring-do about British Agent 007, a mad scientist and an atomic furnace. Sean Connery is properly urbane and unbelievably brave as James Bond...
...overstating the case. Since the end of World War II, Flanders has capitalized on a healthy dollop of U.S. aid to industrialize and acquire a patina of prosperity, while Wallonia, with its played-out coal mines, has been plagued by chronic unemployment. Last year, when violent riots broke out between the two factions, the Flemish majority in Parliament passed a law dividing Belgium into two separate unilingual sections along a line extending from the German border south of Aachen to the French frontier; to the north, Flemish would be the official language in schools, courts and administrative offices...

...protagonist, who calls himself Count La Ruse, is bedeviled by his author's insistence that, like the Pirates of Penzance, he is an authentic and fundamentally virtuous nobleman "who has gone wrong." His vis-a-vis, the jailer's daughter, is a salty bit of mutton, a lively dollop of trollop, when she is not made to work at it too hard. Other scoundrels are beautifully done, notably an ineffable poisoner who comes at first glance amazingly close to success in his function of representing Unashamed Ultimate Evil...
