Turkey shoot


From Russia with Love (1963)

Directed by Terence Young this sequel is based on the book of the same name and stars Sean Connery, Daniela Bianchi and Robert Shaw. Bond is despatched to Turkey to help in the defection of a Soviet communications clerk.

The plot of this film is probably that the closest any of the Bond films come to reality and fits in as a very neat Cold War espionage piece. Compared to the previous film you can see that the extra budget has been spent on more locations and action sequences which put the film a notch above it's predecessor. As a villain Robert Shaw is an excellent addition to the cast and Daniela Bianchi provides one of the Bond girls with the most depth.

5/5
