about that:
Thanks for the welcome, puddin. I feel warm and fuzzy inside. })}
I want to add that I've been carefully looking at all the vidcaps in this thread, and I am pretty sure that the only vidcaps from Puerto Rico are at the airport. I am a little disappointed because I was expecting to see a couple of pics from a detour or roadblock somewhere in PR. Oh, well! Maybe we'll get more previews over the weekend so I can be more helpful in this discussion.
Keep up the good work!
Lucy325:
I think the falls in Ocho Rios, was used in the filming of the Dr. No. movie, saw it mentioned in my search, maybe the Y S Falls, never watched the movie, so not sure about the bauxite mine, but since the movie crew would have been in the area doing the other filming, would make sense. I will investigate further.
Lucy325:
Correction to the Dr. No, the Falls are Dunn River Falls where movie was filmed.
After checking some Dr. No. websites (who knew) following found.
1962 Movie being filmed Vanzee Swamp Valmouth, Jamaica and Ocho Rioes, near the homes of Ian Fleming and Noel Coward
Also movie filmed @ Reynolds Aluminum in Ochio Rios (high pier)
At the time of the film, Jamaica was the largest producer of alumina.
Actual alumina plant used for the exterior of Dr. No's base in the film.
As a said before, never seen movie.
Lucy325:
Reynolds mines, plant and offices were situated in the HILLS south of Ocho Rios.
Ore mined in open pits, dried and then transported by OVER HEAD CONVEYOR BELT 6.3 miles long.
