 First opening credits sequence to show the actor playing James Bond.  This is by utilizing footage from the first two James Bond films  _Dr. No (1962)_ (qv) and _From Russia with Love (1963)_ (qv). This  technique would be repeated in  _On Her Majestys Secret Service (1969)_ (qv). The first time an  image of the actor playing James Bond would be part of the actual  title sequence itself (i.e. not by way of footage edited into it)  would not occur until _Spy Who Loved Me, The (1977)_ (qv).
