From Russia with Love (James Bond) [Blu-ray] From Russia with Love (James Bond) [Blu-ray]

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

Customer Review: From Russia With Love 007
It’s Bond from back when Bond was the real thing. All of the elements are there. No mushy fall in love, get married, kill wife, get revenge stuff. Just good old Spy vs Spy with all the Plots,Ploys and Action.
Customer Review: The Best Bond!
Sean Connery is the original James Bond in this thrilling second film in the series that has 22 films and counting!

The story follows James Bond as he attempts to locate a Soviet cryptographic decoder and take the device to England. In reality, the decoder is bait for a trap by SPECTRE to kill Bond. Also involved in the plot is the dangerous SPECTRE agent Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) and the deadly assassin “Red” Grant (Robert Shaw). Klebb also acquires the help of an unknowing Russian cipher clerk named Tatiana Romanova (played by Daniela Bianchi).

This film has a perfect blend of everything: action, suspense, Bond girls, gadgets, you name it! Several scenes in the movie really stand out including the opening sequence, the gypsy camp scene, the brawl with Grant on board the Orient Express, and the fight against Rosa Klebb and her poison-tipped shoes. This film started the tradition of cool gadgets in the Bond movies, but doesn’t take away from the rest of the film by being too over-the-top or gimmicky. The Bond attache case includes a hidden throwing knife, sniper rifle, and a tear gas booby-trap. Daniela Bianchi deserves special mention as a Bond girl, she is certainly one of the most beautiful ones to date.

Still one of the Best Bond movies yet! I highly recommend it!
