From Russia With Love. 1963.

James Bond travels to Istanbul to retrieve a piece of equipment Lektor from a Russian Consulate, unaware it's a trap set up by a organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E and help Tatiana Romanov who is recruited by ex-KGB member who now has formed a small group called SMERSH with a killer called Grant who is on Bond's trail.

Sir Sean Connery is Bond in his second outing as the British spy teamed up with British Intelligence Chief Ali Kerim Bey played by Pedro Armendariz who believes it is a trap and still goes along with the plan to get the Lektor back to England. Robert Shaw plays the ruthless Donald Grant, even though he has little talking in it his menacing look makes him scary enough not to talk. Daniela Bianchi plays the beautiful Russian Romanov who can get the Lektor and defect to England and Lotte Lenya plays the Russian agent Klebb who works within S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

This one i have seen a lot of times and never seems to age...except Connery's hair line seems a bit thin on top, thank the guy who created the Toupee. This one seems to have more action and adventure which helps build up the character that Connery portrays and some nice location shoots even though some of the background looks like a green screen was used but you go with what the budget is and more funny oneliners are in this and a nice belly dancer.

Tatiana: Horrible, horrible woman.
James Bond: Yes, she had her kicks.
