The fully enclosed sink basin, surrounded by the natural stone, has a much sleeker appearance than traditional drop-in sinks. Most undermount sinks are surrounded by a layer of protective caulking to prevent water from seeping between the sink and the counter.
When Sean Connery had been cast in November 1961, David Niven had been Fleming's choice for the role as the actor reflected his image of the character. In 1965 producer Charles Feldman signed Niven to play Sir James Bond for Casino Royale, a film not made by Eon Productions.
Dr. No is the first film in the James Bond film series, and thus the first to star Sean Connery as Bond. Released in 1962 in the UK, it paved the way for all future Bond films by making $16 million domestically.
