<P> The cast also included a number of actors who were to become stalwarts of the future films, including Bernard Lee, who played Bond's superior M for another ten films, and Lois Maxwell, who played M's secretary Moneypenny in fourteen instalments of the series . Lee was chosen because of being a "prototypical father figure", and Maxwell after Fleming thought she was the perfect fit for his description of the character . Maxwell was initially offered a choice between the roles of Moneypenny or Sylvia Trench and opted for Moneypenny as she thought the Trench role, which included appearing in immodest dress, was too sexual . Eunice Gayson was cast as Sylvia Trench and it was planned that she would be a recurring girlfriend for Bond throughout six films, although she appeared only in Dr. No and From Russia with Love . She had been given the part by director Terence Young, who had worked with her in Zarak and invited Gayson saying "You always bring me luck in my films", although she was also cast due to her voluptuous figure . One role which was not given to a future regular was that of Major Boothroyd, the head of Q - Branch, which was given to Peter Burton . Burton was unavailable for the subsequent film, From Russia with Love, and the role was taken by Desmond Llewelyn . </P> <P> Anthony Dawson, who played Professor Dent, met director Terence Young when he was working as a stage actor in London, but by the time of the film's shooting Dawson was working as a pilot and crop duster in Jamaica . Dawson also portrayed Ernst Stavro Blofeld, head of SPECTRE, in From Russia with Love and Thunderball, although his face was never seen and his voice was redubbed by Austrian actor Eric Pohlmann . Zena Marshall, who played Miss Taro, was mostly attracted by the humorous elements of the script, and described her role as "this attractive little siren, and at the same time I was the spy, a bad woman", who Young asked to play "not as Chinese, but a Mid-Atlantic woman who men dream about but is not real". The role of Taro was previously rejected by Marguerite LeWars, the Miss Jamaica 1961 who worked at the Kingston airport, as it required being "wrapped in a towel, lying in a bed, kissing a strange man". LeWars appeared as a photographer hired by Dr. No instead . </P> <P> Dr. No is set in London, England, Kingston, Jamaica and Crab Key, a fictional island off Jamaica . Filming began on location in Jamaica on 16 January 1962 . The primary scenes there were the exterior shots of Crab Key and Kingston, where an uncredited Syd Cain acted as art director and also designed the Dragon Tank . They shot a few yards from Fleming's Goldeneye estate, and the author would regularly visit the filming with friends . Location filming was largely in Oracabessa, with additional scenes on the Palisadoes strip and Port Royal in St Andrew . On 21 February, production left Jamaica with footage still unfilmed due to a change of weather . Five days later, filming began at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, England with sets designed by Ken Adam, which included Dr. No's base, the ventilation duct and the interior of the British Secret Service headquarters . The studio would later be used on the majority of later Bond films . Adam's initial budget for the entire film was just £ 14,500 (£ 283,884 in 2018), but the producers were convinced to give him an extra £ 6,000 out of their own finances . After 58 days of filming, principal photography completed on 30 March 1962 . </P> <P> The scene where a tarantula walks over Bond was initially shot by pinning a bed to the wall and placing Sean Connery over it, with a protective glass between him and the spider . Director Young did not like the final results, so the scenes were interlaced with new footage featuring the tarantula over stuntman Bob Simmons . Simmons, who was uncredited for the film, described the scene as the most frightening stunt he had ever performed . The book features a scene where Honey is tortured by being tied to the ground along with crabs, but since the crabs were sent frozen from the Caribbean, they did not move much during filming, so the scene was altered to have Honey slowly drowning . Simmons also served as the film's fight choreographer, employing a rough fighting style . The noted violence of Dr. No, which also included Bond shooting Dent in cold blood, caused producers to make adaptations to get an "A" rating--allowing minors to enter accompanied by an adult--from the British Board of Film Classification . </P>
