Well Jr, did I ever tell you about the time I crawled through the basement of an ancient building and escaped through a rat infested corridor? And then was chased by a bunch of zealots on boats, all while being seduced by a beautiful blonde double agent? Sounds like one of our adventures?
Must've been a dream!
Seriously - this second film is a major step up for 007, which benefits from all the Hitchcock (The Lady Vanishes / North by Northwest) needle drops. It also looks great - with the European settings, far more lux and interesting than the Jamaican beaches of Dr. No.
As the template for so many great films - from The Last Crusade to Austin Powers, From Russia With Love lives up to its brilliant reputation.
A stone cold classic.
