I get the sense that Alfred Hitchcock's films had a strong influence on the early Bond films and how they were directed.
The opening sequence of Dr No with the abstract shapes, music and credits was very similar to Psycho.
And the helicopter attack in From Russia With Love was very much like the scene from North By Northwest when Cary Grant is being attacked by that small plane.

I've always thought the same thing. Also the extended scenes on trains, in both North by Northwest , and From Russia with Love three years later

The most Hitchcock influenced scene in a Bond movie is the scene in On her majesty's when James Bond enters a lawyer's office in Switzerland in order to copy secret documents.

But in Dr. No, what was the MacGuffin?
