Film Description

James Bond: From Russia With Love Movie Poster

“James Bond 007 is on the search for a Russian decoding machine, known as “Lektor”. Bond needs to find this machine, before the evil S.P.E.C.T.R.E. organization discovers it. While being romantically linked with Russian girl, Tatiana Romanova, Bond sneaks his way around Istanbul, while each S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Agent tries to pick him off, including the over powering Donald “Red” Grant and ex K.G.B. Agent Rosa Klebb, who knows all of the tricks in the book, and even possesses an incredible poison tipped shoe.”

“From Russia with Love“ is the sequel that improves upon its predecessor in terms of action, scope, spectacle, and thrilling storytelling. The plot concerns James Bond (Sean Connery) as he is sent in to Istanbul to bring in a Russian defector named Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi)who has supposedly fallen in love with Bond. Knowing that its obviously a trap he goes anyways because the bait is a Lector decoding machine. From there the plot takes many twists and turns from London to Istanbul to a Gypsy camp to the Orient Express to the final showdown in Venice…Sean Connery once again proves that he is James Bond and this time his role is more defined than in “Dr. No“. Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana is just beautiful and gorgeous (also like Ursula Andress was also dubbed because she couldn’t speak English. She was voiced by Barbara Jefford) and has a much more involved role as a double agent. Lotte Lenya as Rosa Klebb is just fantastic because in real life she was a sweet woman but when she acted her role was cold, ruthless and sadistic making her one of the best Bond villains. Mexican actor Pedro Armendáriz plays as Bond’s ally in Turkey Kerim Bey which was his last role before sadly committing suicide after filming when he discovered that he had inoperable fatal cancer. Robert Shaw plays as Red Grant, an assassin who has an ominous presence thruout the film without talking up until the Orient Express. “From Russia with Love“ marks the first appearance of the sinister leader of SPECTRE (played by an uncredited Anthony Dawson and voiced by Eric Pohlmann who would both reprise the role in “Thunderball“) who’s face is never seen but his hands are shown holding and stroking a white cat…Terence Young returns as director and his directing is much more focused and solid than in “Dr. No“ with exotic locations and well choreographed and iconic action sequences…“From Russia with Love“ has everything a good Bond movie needs: Great well choreographed action, great acting, great storytelling, exotic locations and of course beautiful women. This is one of the best Bond movies of the Sean Connery) era and my personal favourite of the Sean Connery Era Bonds.
