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

 BluRay was made for movies like this February 3, 2010
Brian L. Pawley (Buffalo, NY USA)
An already prime example of the attraction for Bond movies, From Russia with Love may be the finest of the Sean Connery era. The BluRay treatment brings new life to this classic Bond film and imbues it with a dynamism not so obviously felt in previous DVD releases. A great movie and a great medium.
Bond on Blu-ray February 1, 2010
Lee M. Vogel (Kansas City, MO United States)
Having grown up on the original Bond series I am very familiar with this film. I've seen it on the big screen, little screen and at the drive-in theatre. The detail and color of this Blu-ray edition revealed aspects of the photography I've never seen before. If your most recent copy of FRWL is on VHS, the price is worth the upgrade.

Product is in new condition, never opened. Was exactly what I needed, down to the DVD cover. Moderately fast shipping, no problems. Recommended.
Impeccably Staged Fight Scene January 15, 2010
Bruce Anderson (Los Angeles, CA USA)

It isn't only silly gadgets, childish gimmickry and (more recently) CGI inanity that have deprived modern films of any semblance of realism, it is also what more recent films have done to the ancient, primordial art of hand-to-hand combat. If you examine Bond's fight in the train car, you will observe that the scene captures how people actually fight in real life. No high flying kicks, no silly poses, no Kung-fu ballet and gymnastics. No, this Bond fight wasn't any of those things. It was as real as I've seen on film. It's a shame that I had to go back nearly 50 years to see a "real" fight captured on film. And that fight scene has stayed with me and made an impression I won't soon forget mainly for its realism and superiority over what would follow in the decades to come.
I suppose much of the blame for the corruption of hand-to-hand combat scenes can be laid at the feet of Bruce Lee. And it pains me to say this, as I was an obsessive Bruce Lee fanatic growing up. But once Lee and his imitators started with the ballet, gymnastics and dancing, realistic looking fights were no longer choreographed in films. In the spy genre, I suppose the last Bourne film certainly went a long way toward capturing the rhythm and feel of real martial combat. But compared to FRWL, it too was stylized and too elegant to look real.
This is a great movie. Everything is well done. Even the effects remain effective and actually look better and more real than the CGI junk being done today.
A great movie---even better at 1080P January 10, 2010

I love the movie "From Russia with Love"---end of story. This review is about the Blu-Ray edition. By way of comparison, I also own the recently upgraded DVD version of this film that was included in the James Bond Ultimate Edition set. That movie (the DVD) was restored to a sensational level of quality. In fact, I doubted it could be visually improved upon. I was wrong. The Blu-Ray edition looks even more sensational than the most recent DVD edition that was included in the Ultimate Edition set. In fact, it was clearly restored from a master print, with an almost indescribable level of visual detail included. This Blu-Ray edition is so good that it's like watching a brand new movie. Watching it with my family I repeatedly heard the comment "wow. Look at that. I never noticed that before . . ." The studio did a first rate job of restoring the movie for the Blu-Ray edition. And, after all . . . it's a James Bond film. I'll be getting the other Blu-Ray Bond films; if the restoration is half this good, it will be worth every penny.
