The film lacks the exotic, colourful flamboyance of the best of its successors. So shoot me.

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.
