Ooh-la-la!_____ Where James Bond goes a bevy of buxom babes always follows. And, you can bet, in this slick, little story of intrigue, espionage and double-cross, Sean Connery, as Bond, was, and always will be, the very best 007 agent of them all. Bar none._____ Faithfully following the huge success of 1962's Dr. No, From Russia With Love would be the second outing for Mr. James Bond, secret agent-man, extraordinaire. And, once again, our suave, masculine hero and his latest daredevil adventure scored a real, nice bull's-eye._____ Featuring plenty of early-1960's wit, charm and intelligence (all nicely padded with some superbly staged action sequences), From Russia With Love delivered its story with precision timing. It also really appealed to me that this production was almost gadget-free._____ And, of course, I really dug this film's twangy-guitar theme music which was written by Monty Norman.
