From Russia With Love


Just finished reading Ian Flemming's "From Russia With Love" - and I am pleased to say I enjoyed it very much.

To me this has to be one of the best bond films - and I have watched it more than once. Although Sean Connery is not the best Bond to me, the film has a certain something about it.

The plot differs from the book in that Russia, upset with the British Secret Service, and in particular James Bond, seek revenge by framing up Bond by tricking one of their agents. In the book there is no "Spectre" secret organisation. The film does have a decoding machine in it - the "Lector", however in the book it is called the "Spektor".
