Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed from deep-freeze to the supernova of atomic oblivion. But our man Bond dispatches sultry spies, madmen, and double agents with the same coolness he displays while downing martinis and making love to beautiful blondes. In this, the second of the series, Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE. It's Bond's assignment to get the girl and the machine back to England--and to do it, of course, in style.

From Russia with Love

A Customer from Cambridge, 21st November, 2008

A great example of what Blu Ray can do - in the right hands and with loving care - with an elderly classic. The transfer is remarkable, colours are bright, picture is sharp. Connery and especially the lovely Daniela Bianchi have never looked better. I found the Audio content to be rather one dimensional and a slight dissapointment, but no doubt it sounds and looks better on blu-ray than the day it first appeared. Looking at the film now, there are so many holes in the plot that you could just drive a bus through them - for example, the idea that the other end of a Submarines periscope can peer out of a mousehole in the skirting board into the most secret room in the Russian Embassy without being spotted.... but it really does not matter, it just looks wonderful and I would not have missed it.

For lovers of the early Bond films this is a delight to watch. It's digitally remastered and enhancement by BLU-RAY gives it vision and sound of the highest quality. Recommended viewing for fans of Sean Con nery.
