10 Greatest Unspoken Movie Plot Points
5. Dr. No Stole An Actual Missing Goya Painting - Dr. No
There's some fantastically subtle subplotting in the inaugural James Bond film Dr. No.
You might recall the scene where 007 (Sean Connery) and Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) meet Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) at his lair, and as he leads them to sit down for dinner, Bond pauses for a moment to stare at a painting.
You'd be forgiven for missing it, but this is actually the famous Goya painting "Portrait of the Duke of Wellington," which was stolen in 1961, the year before Dr. No's release.
The obvious implication is that Dr. No had schemed to have the painting stolen, whether for his own private display or to sell on to an interested party on the black market.
Either way, it's an amusing engagement with real world history, albeit one that's largely lost on younger audiences watching the film today.
The duplicate was painted by production designer Ken Adams and, in an hilarious twist of fate, was also stolen from the movie's set.
