Also in 1962, the first James Bond film was released the same day as the Beatles' first album.

I thought The Beatles' first album was released on 22 March 1963! Perhaps I'm in error.

The NBC Nightly News the evening of the 5th said the Bond film and the Beatles album were both released on the same day in Britain, and Brian Williams is never wrong!

Well, someone is wrong: the first Bond film and the first Beatles SINGLE ("Love Me Do") were both released on the same day in the UK in 1962.

Little Nemo celebrates 107 years since first publication. Ray had a hand in getting it on the silver screen.
