From Russia With Love
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 more

My Favorite James Bond Film
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE has always been my favorite James Bond film. Why? I can't say for sure. Being adversaries in the film, both Sean Connery and Robert Shaw both possessed enough masculinity and virility to square off against each other very convincingly in a highly dramatic and very physical...
