Review of From Russia with Love (1963) by Greg R — 11 Feb 2011

I don't like it as much as the critics (who praise it for its lack of gadgetry and neat stuff)...its a tad slow in the middle and certainly hasn't aged as well as dr. no (the soundtrack especially).

...gets the 3 stars because of a strong cast led by Armendowitz (who died during filming) and especially Lenya (who is brilliant)....Connery has settled into the role nicely and is quicker with the 'one-liners' this time round.

..certainly worth seeing but not among my favs.
