From Russia with Love
From Russia With Love is a
1963 film based on the
Ian Fleming novel of the same name. The second film in the James Bond series, it stars
Sean Connery as British Secret Service agent
Commander James Bond.
From Russia with Love tells of a series of elaborate plots and counterplots between British and Russian intelligence agencies. The film is notable for introducing "
Q," a character
Desmond Llewellyn would play in nearly all of the Bond films until his death in
1999. The cast also includes
Robert Shaw, perhaps best known as Quint in Steven Spielberg's
Jaws (
1975), Daniela Bianchi, Pedro Armendáriz,
Lotte Lenya and Bernard Lee. Lenya's character, Rosa Klebb, is often cited as the prototype for the Frau Farbissina character in the
Austin Powers series of movies.
From Russia With Love was adapted by Johanna Harwood and Richard Maibaum, and was directed by Terence Young.
Author and James Bond creator Ian Fleming is in the train scene, standing outside on the right of the train. He is wearing grey trousers and a white sweater.
