Product Description
Amazon.ca
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

Format:Blu-ray
I've seen this film many times on TV, VHS and DVD, but this blu-ray transfer is absolutely stunning. Cleaned up by the good folks at Lowry Digital Images, the picture clarity is perfect and shows details that I've never picked up before. This blu-ray makes an old film new again, I'm very impressed by the quality of all the Bond films on blu-ray.

This is the first bluray disc purchased for the bluray player.
The cases come with minimal content, not even the year the film first came out, making it difficult to watch them in sequence.
played ok.

Fantastic!
If you're a fan of Bond movies, you cannot miss this one on Blu-Ray! They did a fantastic job brining this one (just happens to be my favorite) over to blu-ray! Read more

Good show, but not the best of the series
I have recently started watching all of the James Bond movies again, and I hate to say it, but this is probably the one Sean Connery film that is not the best one. Read more

Great transfer onto Blu-Ray
Rather that go into any details or opinions on the content of this Bond movie (as it is likely well enough known already), I'll do a simple review on the quality of the Blu-Ray... Read more

Inconsistencies, but still great
This second James Bond flick is great, but has some inconsistencies. For instance, why is the head of the KGB in the country they are in, leading a raid into a gypsy camp? Read more

This series deserved better.
It is hard to imagine that only the 2nd 007 flick would be one of the worst, but this one is just so horrible! Read more
