Factoids: (IMDB, Mistakes, BondMovies, Wiki) Mi6
1. The armorer who gives Bond his Walther PPK at the start of the film is Major Boothroyd, who in the next film, From Russia with Love (1963) would be played by Desmond Llewelyn. Beginning with Goldfinger (1964), the "armorer" would forever be known as "Q" (for "Quartermaster").
2. A sequence involving Honey Rider been tied to the ground and attacked by a swarm of crabs was scrapped because many of the crustacean arrived frozen, dead and damaged. The scene was altered to using water as the threat instead.
3. Sean Connery is morbidly afraid of spiders. The shot of the spider in his bed was originally done with a sheet of glass between him and the spider, but when this didn't look realistic enough, the scene was re-shot with stuntman Bob Simmons. Simmons reported that the tarantula crawling over Bond was the scariest stunt he had ever performed.
4. The character of Miss Moneypenny was said to have been inspired by Vera Atkins (born Vera Maria Rosenberg), portrayed by Avice Landone in Carve Her Name with Pride (1958).
5. Knowing that they were taking a risk by filming such a potential flop, Saltzman and Broccoli named their production company to fit the situation at hand. Eon Productions, Ltd. is an acronym for "everything or nothing."
6. 'M''s character is based on a similar character in Alfred Hitchcock's film Secret Agent, made in the 1930's.
7. Around the time of the film's release, a comic book adaptation of the screenplay was published in British Classics Illustrated, and later reprinted in European Detective and in early 1963 in the United States by DC Comics as part of its Showcase anthology series. The comic was drawn by Norman Nodel and was originally intended to be published as an issue of the anthology Classics Illustrated. Due to the Classics Illustrated connection, some sources have wrongly cited this as an adaptation of the novel.
Comments: B. The Ultimate Collectors Edition adds 30:10 new material to approximately 1:27:23 of older material.
