This is the best James Bond movie. Although the cinematography is not at its best and there aren't a lot of gadgets, it is still the best. I won't spoil it for you but if you have never seen a Bond movie before this is it for the beginners. It has an amazing cast and humor from Mr. Connery and the jaw- dropping fight scene with the henchman that many fans agree that is the best. Plus, you 21 century people, there are explosions, boat chases, helicopter fights and Bond girls........... and Blofeld.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is one of the better Bond films in the series. It is probably Sean Connery's best depending if you prefer his performance here before he redefined his performance permanently in GOLDFINGER. In FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Sean Connery continued his portrayal of the character in the Fleming literary mold. It follows the directorial style of DR. NO. In FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Connery refined his performance adding more depth to the character's worldliness, intellect, social graces and wry humor. The film's story and plot are very good. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. returns and we are introduced to Blofeld. This time the villains' plot is twofold as it lures James Bond and the Soviets into a tangled web of espionage from Istanbul to Venice as it unfolds like a travelogue of intrigue and adventure. There are so many superlatives to this film. The characters have real depth. The acting is excellent. The locations and sets breathe real life into the story. The fight scene in the gypsy camp is a triumph of choreography, cinematography and editing which is only equaled by the death struggle between Red Grant and Bond on the Orient Express. John Barry's first complete score brings a highly recognizable sound to the Bond series with his unique musical style. It works very well in this film as it works on both an intellectual and emotional level. I don't think Ian Fleming could not have asked for more.

Not only is "From Russia With Love" the best James Bond film ever made, it is undoubtedly one of the finest spy films ever made, period. FRWL also was the last time that Bond appeared deadly serious throughout most of the film until the late 80's Timothy Dalton incarnation, which does not hold a candle to Connery's "sophisticated assasin" take on the character. Some fans who rate "Goldfinger" higher are probably more impressed with Gert Frobe than anything else, because Goldfinger is the one Bond film that has aged worse than almost any other from the 60's. The Cold-War tension and realism in "From Russia With Love", along with Connery at his absolute coolest and the inimatable Robert Shaw as a truly cold-blooded enemy agent, as well as the lack of stupid plotlines and cartoonish gadgetry, make this the quintessential spy movie of the 60's. Bravo.

A classic bit of cold war escapism, "From Russia With Love" is like the musical film of "Silk Stockings" without the songs (tell me you've heard that before). Ninotchka here is split in two, into the lovely confused heroine Bond saves from Communism and her would-be sexual conquerer, the wonderful Lotte Lenya, who thinks nothing of sweeping up if it will get her at her man. For a comparable turn find Elsa Lancaster's lethal villaness in the Bond inspired TV series "The Man From UNCLE". Lancaster and Lenya in a death match would be more interesting than either, but if you want a Bond film, this, "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball" (which began to wax smug) are it. "Doctor No" as well, though Bond was less iconic there. The series should have ended with Connery playing opposite Diana Rigg in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", but as it didn't at least spend your money on these DVDs rather than the latest pale shadow.

This review is from the VHS release with dialogue in English with Spanish subtitles. The coverbox is also in Spanish.
This is the second "James Bond" film and the second with Sean Connery. Bernard Lee returns as "M". Lois Maxwell returns as "Miss Moneypenny". The woman in red, "Sylvia Trench" (Eunice Gayson) who was in the casino and met Bond...James Bond in DR. NO (1962) also returns.
Now that Dr. No has been conquered, Blofeld is the new opponent with the help of Kronsteen (Vladek Sheybal) and the tough-skinned "Ross Kleeb" (Lotte Lenya) who wears shoes with hidden daggers. They will send in a beautiful Russian agent, Tatiana (Diniela Blanchi) to get closer to James Bond.
To really make it rough on Bond, Grant (Robert Shaw) will pose as Captain Nash and be chasing after Bond.
You remeber Robert Shaw from his role in JAWS (1975).
Walter Gotell also appeared in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977), MOONRAKER (1979), FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981), OCTOPUSSY (1983), A VIEW TO A KILL (1985), THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987), and was also the voice of "General Gobel" in the animated cartoon "James Bond Jr". (1991-92).
Blofeld was played by Anthony Dawson and the voice was Eric Pohlmann.
Lotte Lenya, you remember her in THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE (1961).
This film marks the first appearance of Desmond Llewelyn as Major Boothroyd/Q, a role he would play for 36 years (1963-1999).
Vladek Sheybal appears in CASINO ROYALE (1967).
Pedro Armendariz ("Kerim Bey") was terminally ill while filming. He had cancer. He committed suicide June 18, 1963, one month after filming had completed.
His son, Pedro Armendariz Jr. appeared in the 007 film, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987).
The train conductor is George Pastell.
The wall mural you saw was of CALL ME BWANA (1963) starring Bob Hope, Anita Ekberg, also presented by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli.
Locations: Istanbul, Turkey. Venice, Veneto, Italy. Snowdonia, Gwynedd, Wales UK. Scotland, UK. And of course the traditional Pinewood Studios.
The mansion in the pre-title sequence is the main building of Pinewood Studios.
