Oct. 5th, 1962: The first James Bond film, Dr. No, is released in U.K. theatres. On the very same day, the Beatles released their first single, "Love Me Do."
So somewhere in London, somebody walked out of a screening of Dr. No, dazzled by Ursula Andress, and then headed over to the record shop and picked up a new single, by a then unheard of band.
Little did that person know that these two pieces of art would be benchmarks by which so much other pop culture is measured 50 years later.
What a thoroughly amazing day Oct. 5th, 1962 was!
