(Terence Young, US 1963, 115 min.)

Bond is back! After a smashing success with Dr. No, director Terence Young and star Sean Connery returned to make the Cold War seem cool. Sexy Soviet clerk Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) is ready and willing to defect, but only to 007. Nothing is as it seems, of course, and the bullets start to fly as SPECTRE operatives play the unknowing Tatiana as a Bond-baiting, globe-trotting pawn. Frequently considered the best film in the whole series, From Russia with Love is unbeatably entertaining.
