The second in the 007 series, From Russia With Love sees James Bond become a SPECTRE target as they seek to avenge Dr No's death.
It definitely picks up from the first one, with minor improvements made on Sean Connery's Bond character. We get more of an idea of his "irresistable charm" and ability to win over women, the main of whom is the Soviet consulate clerk Tatiana Romanova (played by Daniela Bianchi) who Bond needs to help defect.
One of the more memorable scenes in this one for me is the gypsy dinner/celebration that turns into a wild gun fight. One minute there's belly dancing and everyone having a good time and the next guns are blazing all over the joint. Seriously great stuff.
The main chase in this one comes near the climax of the film with Bond and Romanova escaping via boat. Very clever and well-put-together sequence sees the waterway become a lake of fire. You'll find out how when you watch it.
From Russia With Love (1963): 110 minutes.
