From Russia With Love

Buy This Item From Russia With Love by MGM (Video & DVD)  Available from Amazon  $7.49  on 8-10-2008     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. <i>From Russia with Love</i> 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. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews There was no better Bond than Sean Connery, especially when compared to Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton and Lazenby. This was the second in the series and had not acquired the really high tech explosions and cast of thousands, which often distracted in the later films.
