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

...The film marks the debut of the white pussycat and its master, SPECTRE commander Blofeld. But not for them their usual aim of global domination; this time it's personal: to avenge the death of Dr No by killing Bond nastily; to distribute image-damaging porno pics of him in bed with a Russian Mata Hari - and all after duping him into giving them a decoding machine. The bait is Romanova , a simple KGB clerk who's as innocent as she's lovely. Best remembered are the frenzied fight between Grant and Bond on board the Orient Express, Klebb's poisoned dagger in her granny shoes, and Grant's watch-cum-garrotte. The film introduces four more elements of the 007 formula: Q branch gadgetry,...

Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story. Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.
...FromRussia with Love is one of the greatest movie of Sean Connery aka James Bond. Brilliant perfomance by Sean Connery. This movie is great because every character in this movie is strong that means perfomance by every individual is superb with an exception of Rosa Klebb(movie cast) coz her performance wasn't that good compared to others.
James bond travels through Russia and resolves his case with his cool attitude, perfect style and attire. And offcourse he is not alone, he is as usual again with a girl from turkey who is working for an ex KBG officer from SPECTRE.
To turn cold war into a global war and all is orcherated by a syndicate named SPECTRE.
Well this movie is worth watching. And have a good replay value....

DVD Description
Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed from deep-freeze to the supernova of atomic oblivion. But our man Bond dispatches sultry spies, madmen, and double agents with the same coolness he displays while downing martinis and making love to beautiful blondes. In this, the second of the series, Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE. It's Bond's assignment to get the girl and the machine back to England--and to do it, of course, in style.
Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story. Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.

Advantages: THE BEST FILM'S EVER Disadvantages: RATHER PRICEY BOX SET
...Sean Connery - undoubtedly the greatest ever James Bond, whether it is sexy attitude towards the opposite sex or the amount of villains he has knocked out with one punch, he is the Best. What better way to relive these epic Connery adventures than to purchase this Dvd box set. Dr. No - The first bond film about a corrupt villain named (you guessed it) Dr No. FromRussia With Love - Bond is sent to Russia in order to stop SPECTRE's attempt to rule the world (again). Goldi finger - Evil arch villain Gold finger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Gold finger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not. With more classic titles included such as Thunder ball (a true bond classic, with a great story line), You Only Live Twice (Trouble in Japan for Mr James Bond), and Diamonds...

Advantages: Sean Connery, styllish and atmospheric Disadvantages: Lacks the spectacle of later Bonds
...of Blowfeld. Ali kerim Bay also deserves a mention as one of the best allies in the series. We do genuinely care for his character and his fate.
FromRussia With Love is easily one of the best films in the series. The Ultimate edition looks great and with Eon's vault of Bond material plundered for the extensive extras, no Bond fan should fail to have a copy on their DVD shelf....
