From Russia With Love

Terence Young, UK, 1963, 115 minutes

If you think the Pierce Brosnan James Bonds are unrepentant Hollywood action-adventure movies; come see From Russia With Love to see when James Bond was serious drama. It has an intricate plot while retaining the mandatory beautiful girls, car chases, explosions and fight scenes needed for any Bond movie. Entertains while making you think.
