Never knew that about the portrait in Dr No. Pretty funny, actually.

Back story according to Wiki is that the director of Dr. No painted the portrait used in the film himself overnight. There was zero dollars available to buy a copy or hire a professional to paint one. Bond films became a gold mine, but the budget for Dr. No allowed no frills at all. And it was a good joke to have the painting in the film.
