There's a saying in England: Where there's smoke, there's fire! From Russia With Love is directed by Terence Young and adapted to screenplay by Richard Maibaum & Johanna Harwood from the Ian Fleming novel of the same name. It stars Sean Connery, Daniela Bianchi, Lotte Lenya, Robert Shaw & Pedro Armendáriz. Music is by John Barry and cinematography by Ted Moore. James Bond's second cinematic outing has 007 sent on a mission to Istanbul to try and acquire a Russian cypher machine known as Lektor. It's a trap set up by SPECTRE, who formulate a plan to upset the world...

_**SPECTRE agents, Istanbul, Gypsies, beautiful women and the Orient Express**_ Agent 007 (Sean Connery) is sent on a dubious mission at Istanbul to possibly acquire a Lektor cryptography device from the Soviets via their consulate. Bond meets a naïve Russian beauty (Daniela Bianchi) that SPECTRE agent Klebb (Lotte Lenya) recruits to carry out their assassination plan with the help of a brawny Irish Assassin (Robert Shaw). "From Russian with Love" (1963) is a solid sequel in the franchise highlighted by the Istanbul locations, the Gypsy sequence where two women have a catfight (Aliza Gur & Martine Beswick) and, later, a...

I love this one... surprise, surprise, surprise. Everyone loves this one. I think if there were a true point of contest amongst die hard Bond fans it is From Russia With Love v Goldfinger for the best Bond film. Clearly I'm in the From Russia With Love camp, because it works as a serious spy thriller, it works as a Bond movie, it works as a dramatic thriller and it works as an action movie. It has enough character to be an extremely well made Bond film, and, for a second outing, nobody has done it better.

This is an early Bond movie, and more of a spy movie than the later hay day of 007. It's a pretty good spy movie. We do begin to see a lot of what makes 007 with the hot women, the two hottest being minor characters in a catfight scene. We see some nice locales, nice scenery, and we have some interesting gadgets on both sides. We also have the diabolical Specter leader whom I always call "Blowhard", who seems to kill more of his own employees than his opponents do. There is much going for this, but it's not...

We used to have a maths teacher at school who was small in stature. When the class got a little unruly, she used to stamp her foot on the floor like a petulant child. We called her Miss "Klebb"! I don't think that she ever had a poisonous spike that protruded from her shoe, but I wouldn't have been surprised. In that role, Lotte Lenya is up there in the league of deadly protagonists faced by 007 in this franchise. Robert Shaw - always underrated, I feel - is superb as "Grant" and Pedro Armendáriz is entirely convincing as the...

Fun second entry of the Bond franchise. Think this was my second or third viewing and still entertaining. **3.75/5**

This one, while not as extravagant as some of the later Bond films, holds up surprisingly well as a solid sequel. You can tell the franchise was still finding its footing and polishing its signature style, but there’s a certain charm in that early simplicity. The pacing was steady throughout, never dragging or overstaying its welcome, which made it an enjoyable watch from start to finish. I’ve been hearing great things about the Connery 4K collection, and watching this has definitely pushed me closer to finally picking it up. It feels like the right time to upgrade and experience these...
