From Russia with Love is the second film in the James Bond film series, and the second to star Sean Connery as Bond. Released in 1 963 in the UK, the film earned over $ 78 million. It was written by Richard Maibaum and Johanna Harwood and was based on Ian Fleming`s fifth Bond novel of the same name.

James Bond is sent to Istanbul on a mission to obtain a highly sought-after Lektor decoder device from stunning Russian defector Tatiana Romanova, but the spy`s predicament is actually a ruse devised by crime cartel SPECTRE as an attempt to gain revenge for his previous killing of their operative, Dr. No.

I believe in music, sex and rock-n-roll
At this very moment I`m losing my control
The girls are pretty in Moscow-city
The same on truth in Saint-Petersburg

Мені завжди мало.

Contemporary reviews] edit [

In comparing the film to its predecessor, Dr. No, Richard Roud, writing in The Guardian, said that From Russia with Love "Did not seem quite so lively, quite so fresh, or quite so rhythmically fast-moving."^{] 46 [} He went on to say that "... the film is highly immoral in every imaginable way- it is neither uplifting, instructive nor life-enhancing. Neither is it great film-making. But it sure is fun."^{] 46 [} Writing in The Observer, Penelope Gilliatt noted that "The way the credits are done has the same self-mocking flamboyance as everything else in the picture."^{] 47 [} Gilliatt went on to say that the film manages "to keep up its own cracking pace, nearly all the way. The set-pieces are a stunning box of tricks".^{] 47 [} The critic for The Times wrote of Bond that he is "the secret ideal of the congenital square, conventional in every particular ... except in morality, where he has the courage-and the physical equipment-to do without thinking what most of us feel we might be doing ... "^{] 48 [} The critic thought that overall, "the nonsense is all very amiable and tongue-in-cheek and will no doubt make a fortune for its devisers".^{] 48 [}

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times said: "Do not miss it! This is to say, do not miss it if you can still get the least bit of fun out of lurid adventure fiction and pseudo-realistic fantasy. For this mad melodramatization of a desperate adventure of Bond with sinister characters in Istanbul and on the Orient Express is fictional exaggeration on a grand scale and in a dashing style, thoroughly illogical and improbable, but with tongue blithely wedged in cheek. "^{] 49 [}

Time magazine called the film "fast, smart, shrewdly directed and capably performed"^{] 50 [} and commented extensively on the film`s humour, saying "Director Young is a master of the form he ridicules, and in almost every episode he hands the audience shocks as well as yocks. But the yocks are more memorable. They result from slight but sly infractions of the thriller formula. A Russian agent, for instance, does not simply escape through a window- no, he escapes through a window in a brick wall painted with a colossal poster portrait of Anita Ekberg, and as he crawls out of the window, he seems to be crawling out of Anita`s mouth. Or again, Bond does not simply train a telescope on the Russian consulate and hope he can read somebody`s lips- no, he makes his way laboriously into a gallery beneath the joint, runs a submarine periscope up through the walls, and there, at close range, inspects two important Soviet secrets: the heroine`s legs. "^{] 50 [}

Other Trivia

Reportedly, author and James Bond creator Ian Fleming makes a cameo in the Istanbul train scene (following Bond`s stealing the LEKTOR decoder), standing outside on the right of the train, wearing grey trousers and a white sweater- some sources deny Fleming`s appearance.

Pedro Armend riz, who played Kerim Bey, was sick with cancer during the production, and committed suicide after filming was completed. His son, Pedro Armend riz Jr., later portrayed the President of the Republic of Isthmus in Licence to Kill, the 1989 James Bond film.

Lotte Lenya`s character, Colonel Rosa Klebb, often is cited as prototype of the Frau Farbissina character in the Austin Powers spy spoof series. Klebb would be the first of several Bond villains with ambiguous sexuality. Lotte Lenya was the widow of Kurt Weill. In the film "Undercover Blues" starring Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner, in the mock-torture scene, Dennis Quaid refers to Kathleen Turner (who was pretending to be a Russian doctor specializing in pain) as "Dr Lottelenya," a clear tribute to Lotte Lenya`s portrayal of Rosa Klebb.
The Bulgarian assassin Krilencu tries to escape from his apartment through a secret window in a billboard advertising Call Me Bwana, the only non-James Bond film produced by EON Productions.
The "007" theme (the song played during the gunfight at the gypsy camp and also during Bond`s theft of the LEKTOR) was used as part of the Eyewitness News format on Philadelphia television station KYW-TV.

A version of the haunting "Stalking" track - from the pre-credit sequence of From Russia with Love involving Connery and Shaw - appears in The Spy Who Loved Me, when Bond (Roger Moore) and Anya Amasova (Agent XXX, played by Barbara Bach) confront Richard Kiel`s Jaws character at a historic site in Egypt. Ironically, Spy was scored not by Barry but Marvin Hamlisch, one of only four times Barry did not helm the Bond music arrangements in the first 16 United Artists installments.

Alfred Hitchcock was originally considered as director for the film version in 1958 with Cary Grant as Bond and Grace Kelly as Tatiana Romanova, but the deals fell through when the Hitchcock movie Vertigo performed badly at the box office. The helicopter scene in this film mimics a famous scene from the movie Hitchcock did instead, North by Northwest, in which the main character, played by Cary Grant, is chased by a cropduster.

Years after this film`s release, the scene in which Bond first encounters Tatiana in his hotel room would often be used to screen-test actors for the James Bond and leading lady roles. While Sam Neil was being considered for the role of Bond in 1987`s The Living Daylights, he acted in the scene with Maryam d`Abo as Tatiana Romanova (even before she won the role of Kara Milovy).
