From Russia with Love (1963)
January 2016 - Sean Connery: Lights, Camera, Action!

Directed by Terence Young
Robert Shaw, Lotte Lenya

Not the first 007 film, but the most entertaining. A beautiful Soviet wants to defect with a cryptographic device – but only if she can defect to James Bond. Robert Shaw is “Red” Grant, the best of the blonde psychopaths that frequent Bond films, and Lotte Lenya is engagingly hideous as Rosa Klebb, the SMERSH agent with a lethal kick. The Orient Express, fast cars, assassins, and John Barry’s brassy score make this vintage Bond.
