The Bond films rarely used more than the titles of his stories.

The first four films (Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball) are all reasonably close to the novels, except for substituting SPECTRE for SMERSH. The series became more comic book after that.

Dr. No went almost word for word in places but the more they made the farther they got from the book plots. Goldfinger went pretty much by the book tho in the book Goldfinger really was going to steal the gold instead of make it radio active.

After Thunderball they pretty much abandoned the stories as written.
