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

Rating: 
- 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: 
- 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: - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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: - 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.
