Sophisticated? Well, not really. But fast, smart, shrewdly directed and capably performed.

Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed from deep-freeze to the supernova of atomic oblivion. But our man Bond dispatches sultry spies, madmen, and double agents with the same coolness he displays while downing martinis and making love to beautiful blondes. In this, the second of the series, Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE. It's Bond's assignment to get the girl and the machine back to England--and to do it, of course, in style. [More]

Reviews for From Russia with Love
From Russia with Love is a preposterous, skillful slab of hardhitting, sexy hokum.
For my money, still the best Bond, with a screwball plotline that keeps the locales changing and the surprises coming.
007 is very much with us again, and anyone who hasn't yet got to know him is urged to do so right away!
Standing at the pinnacle of the series, From Russia with Love shows how good a Bond film can be when all the ingredients mesh.
