Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
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 Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bond . . . James Bond
Let's face it: Sean Connery IS James Bond. Those other guys couldn't carry his Walther PPK. In this movie, Connery proves it. He's cool, smart, every woman's dream, and smoothly deadly. For any aficionado of red-blooded spy fiction, it doesn't get much better.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - James Bond can't be beat
This is the second of the bond films and it is as good as they get. It has everything we expect in a Bond film (sex, adventure, and humor) so you can't be disappointed. Best of all, there is also the great Lotte Lenya with the deadliest shoes in the spy business.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best Bond films arrives on Blu-ray with a nicely cleaned up transfer; colors could be stronger
One of the best Connery Bond films along with "Goldfinger", "From Russia with Love" focuses more on story and less on the gadgets that came to dominate the Bond films. Fox and MGM (Fox is now marketing MGM/UA films even though MGM is owned by Sony)have done a good job of upgrading this classic film.

The Blu-ray looks extremely good with a good digital scrubbing that still manages to retain the film grain and has plenty of detail, texture. Colors are good but could be stronger. Skin tones look quite good throughout.

The special features are comprehensive. Director Terence Young does a nice job recalling the making of teh film in the commentary track, a CBC interview with author Ian Fleming, Ian Fleming discussing Desert Island discs (with some interesting although not too surprising selections), "Inside from Russia with Love", a featurette on Ian Fleming and noir author Raymond Chandler, animated storyboard sequence. Trailers, radio, TV spots are also included. There is also a nice featurette on co-producer Harry Saltzman and image datatbase and an interactive "007 Mission Control" into the world of "From Russia with Love".

Terence Young ("Dr. No", "Thunderball")directs this classic Bond film with flair using the opening as a teaser to catch your attention and throw you off. Richard Maiubaum's screenplay is top notch taking the elements of Ian Fleming's novel and brilliantly using them in the context of the film.

Pacing of the film is typical for era although fans that have grown used to more recent Bond films may find this a bit slow going at times.

Bond (Sean Connery)tries to obtain a Russian decoding device from a woman who believes her mission is to "defect" to the west. Bond's got competition for the device--Spectre's agent (Robert Shaw playing a ex-con killing machine). The fight sequence at the conclusion of the film between Connery and Shaw is terrific.

5 stars for the film, 5 stars for the digital clean up, 4 stars for the digital clean up/transfer (could have been 5 with stronger colors).



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Go with the single-Disc Version
You all know how good a Bond movie this is (second only to "Goldfinger"). The picture quality is very good. I just wish the studio had left it to the viewer to zoom the picture to get rid of black bars. Fortunately (because of the 1.66:1 aspect ratio), the loss is minimal (1/16th of the height of the frame). The second DVD contains three short interviews with Ian Fleming (only one of which has video), and is hardly worth the extra $4.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - another great bond film
I watch this and do enjoy it; but for some reason I always fall asleep during THIS film. The other bond movies are no problem for me.
