** This goes meta for Creator/SeanConnery who had to have a glass plate separate him and the Tarantula, and for close ups used a stunt double out of his Arachnophobia.

* Professor Dent's scene with Dr. No is chilling. [[NothingIsScarier Just him in a room, with just an eerily calm, sinister voice]]. Dent's fearful reaction to it is an effective way to make Dr. No a terrifying presence without giving him any screen-time.
