Ursula Andress never actually spoke a single line of dialogue or sang a single note in Dr. No, despite this iconic waterfall scene cementing her as the ultimate global blueprint for the "Bond Girl."
Because the Swiss actress possessed an incredibly thick, heavy Swiss-German accent, director Terence Young determined her voice wouldn't fit the character of Honey Ryder.
The studio secretly hired voice actress Nikki van der Zyl to re-record every single piece of Andress's dialogue, and brought in a separate performer named Diana Coupland to dub her singing voice for the track "Underneath the Mango Tree

Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS on 35mm, as seen from our projection booth this morning.

Soon the narcissism, racism, greed, vindictiveness, disregard for the poor, contempt for lost life, corruption, lying, and overall insanity/idiocy that is Trumpism, will become our new standard for modern evil.
What Hitler was to moral clarity in the past, Trump will be in our future.
This will be the Trump/Maga legacy.

Bond wanted an address. He didn't ask for an address. He made her GIVE him the address.
This is the greatest social engineering scene ever filmed🔥
But what is her verdict on the restored director's cut of Ken Russell's ferocious masterpiece, THE DEVILS? This is the question currently on every true cinephile's mind.
