On the film front, West Side Story dominated cinemas, although its more modern remake by Spielberg failed to capture audience interest in 2021. The year also saw Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman acquire the rights to the James Bond franchise, leading to the iconic Dr. No in 1962, famously marked by Sean Connery’s humorous “Sha Bond” mispronunciation during a casino scene. Award-winning Judgment at Nuremberg also highlighted the year, featuring legendary cast members like Spencer Tracy and Judy Garland.
