Today marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond movie "Dr. No". For sure one has to admit that this has been the start of an epic and influential saga reflecting the state of the art in style, coolness and connoisseurship. Whether it is about cars, drinks, suits or gadgets, James Bond keeps setting standards. Of course, the debate which actor was best (some say Sean Connery) and which particular movie stands out (others praise "On Her Majesty's Secret Service), also continues. Anyway, we just salute a true epitome of spy movies, Happy Birthday, Mr. Bond.
