BOND: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE(1963)
Bond! James Bond!
The second James Bond! The second time around
with Sean Connery! This finds our favorite British
agent in a compromising position in that he knows
that a Russian agent is feigning an attraction to him
to try to get him to help procure a decoding device!
What he, and the lovely agent don't know is that this
is not a directive from Russia, but instead it's a
set-up from our old friends, Spectre! This is the first
of MANY Bonds with the eventual Q, Desmond
Llewelyn
An excellant movie! A
From another reviewer at Amazon:
Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young,
the second James Bond spy thriller is considered
by many fans to be the best of them all. Certainly
Sean Connery was never better as the dashing Agent
007, whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to
retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His
efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically
distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela
Bianchi), and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte
Lenya) with switchblade shoes, and by a crazed killer
(Robert Shaw), who clashes with Bond during the
film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express.
From Russia with Love is classic James Bond,
before the gadgets, pyrotechnics, and Roger Moore
steered the movies away from the more realistic
tone of the books by Ian Fleming. --Jeff Shannon
