Summary: Classic 007 at his best!!!
Review: From Russia With Love is one of the best , if not the best of the series. Sean Connery is superb in his second outing as James Bond 007. FRWL has the most espionage quotient but still has it's fair share of heart racing action. What I love about FRWL so much is because it has a great spy plot with Bond walking in straight into a trap set up by SPECTRE. Also FRWL has the best ever Bond villian in the form of Grant played superbly by Robert Shaw. The fight scene between Bond and Grant is the greatest ever filmed. There are no over elabroate secret bases or over acted villians, just pure unadulturated Bond at his best.

Summary: James Bond is Second to None
Review: This film is an excellent adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel. From the beginning, it grabs the viewer, and takes them on an exciting adventure. The Bond woman Tatyiana Romanova, is wonderfully played by Danielle Bianchi. She brings elegance, and grace to her role despite her objectives. Lotte Lenya plays the diabolical Rosa Klebb (a defector working for the KGB in Istanbul.Who has poison tips on her shoes) Robert Shaw plays Red Grant, the assasin hired to get the Lector encoder. This leads to a wonderful climax on the train. We also see that Bond has an ally, Kerim Bey. This Turkish millionaire is wonderfully played by Pedro Armendariz. In this film, we first meet "Q" who adds the essential element of gadgets. All in all, a fine film.

Review: An improvement on Dr. No, but still not the greatest Bond. Sean Connery is very good however, as is Daniela Bianchi. Buy this movie, you will not regret it.

Summary: A TRUE SPY THRILLER
Review: This is one debate that'll go on forever. Which James Bond film is the best? You have your Roger Moore followers and your Connery purists, so, who's right? Well, there is no final verdict, but here's my take.... From Russia wih Love AND Goldfinger are the TWO best Bond movies. Choosing one over the other is about as easy as splitting an atom with a hammer. Why, you ask, are these two the epitome of the series? First, let me elaborate on FRWL... The excellent Harry Palmer series with Michael Caine is known for being the antithesis of Bond. FRWL is the only Bond film that is in that same neighborhood of believabilty. It has the heaviest espionage quotient and the best atmosphere in the entire series. Ian Fleming wrote espionage stories centered around a spy named James Bond. This is an excellent one. The plot is knotty but not incomprehensible. Bond stories are (or should be) about espionage not redneck sheriffs or voodoo. FRWL is a real FILM. By that I mean director Terrance Young & Co. make excellent use of the basics of the medium: dissolves, musical interplay, voice-overs, creative editing; the entire mise-en-scene. In any good action thriller, you have to feel that the hero is vulnerable and could die at any moment. This raises our level of exitement and interest. Bond is extremely vulnerable in FRWL. In the entire series, is there a more believable and clever escape sequence than Bond tricking Grant into opening the briefcase? Hmmm, well maybe the classic laser/crotch scene in Goldfinger. The best escapes are the ones in which Bond uses his head as opposed to a gadget. My only beef with the third film is the lack of a knotty plot and a ho-hum middle third in Kentucky(!) (not exactly a locale worthy of a cold war thriller). Because of all the pop culture spy-isms established by these two films, Goldfinger and FRWL should be viewed (not to a kill) at one sitting.Some pop culture spy-isms: The super car, the hidden mastermind stroking his cat, the secret enemy base/island, code-phrases, spy guitar, the henchman, abbriviated organization names (SPECTRE), the gadgets, hero in black stealthy outfit, suggestive names, bomb countdowns that take forever to get to zero etc... The only thing missing from the Bond films are E-type Jaguars. Oh well..you can't have everything.
