Richard Johnson turned down the role of 007 in the first Bond film, 007 Contra o Satânico Dr. No (1962), opening the door for Sean Connery.
Virginia North (Robot Number 9) and Joanna Lumley (uncredited robot saboteur) worked on this picture concurrently with 007 - A Serviço Secreto de Sua Majestade (1969). Both films were produced at Pinewood Studios.
