Yep, that's Dr. No.

It's my favourite as well. That, and From Russia With Love.

Then they could have done a sequel where Sean teams up with Steed, thus creating the best movie ever made.
Emma Peal FTW

That is stunning, but I agree with Vox. I am far from an expert on such matters, but this seems to be generally cleaner, both in the chest and arms, than a typical A&S coat, no? Vox?

The suppressed waist looks very bad.
If that is an Ill-fitting suit, I'd like to see your interpretation of a proper fit. After all, he only had film and tv's best tailors at his disposal.

Yes, this DB is the ****. One of the best DBs I've ever seen; wish I was that thin to pull it off.

I saw this photo on the sartorialist and showed it to my dandy friends and they loved it as well.

This is another very famous "movie suit" in that it appears on a lot of Italian websites (again mostly seated):

That's sick. I'm going to try to rent those movies. What Italian websites? Fora like SF?

Not the biggest fan. It's almost over-tailored.

Digging the A's so far. Agnelli and the Avenger.
Over tailored? Wahhh?

Sort of, think SF with 1990s Italian technology. That particular suit shows up in a lot of magazines. Loro di Napoli is one of the best Italian movies of all time, with or without suit. I'd definitely recommend it.

Because it's a Kent style DB.

I've always understood that a Kent DB is simply a four button, not specifically a 4x1. Does anybody else think that a 4x1 looks much sillier than a 4x2?
