Ian Fleming based the villain "Drax" on the Jules Verne's character "Robur" from the "Clipper Of The Clouds", "Master of the World", and "Robur, The Conqueror" stories. In addition, the filmmakers based Drax on Adolf Hitler, and there is a similarity between the look of Hitler, and that of Michael Lonsdale. Drax's plan for a master race, evokes Hitler's plans for the same. The "Drax" name was allegedly derived from two possible sources by Ian Fleming. Drax was the surname of a boy at Eton, who became Admiral Sir Reginald Plunkett Ernle Erle Drax. Drax Hall Estate was a Great House in Northern Jamaica, in which Fleming visited during one of his early trips to Oracabessa. Fleming apparently saw the name on the blue notice board there. The name of Drax's butler in the movie was Cavendish.
