From Russia With Love (Young, 1963): Prince Charles Cinema, 3pm
The Prince Charles is running a full chronological James Bond season. Details here.
The
press reviews of the films don't capture the excitement of the Bond
films and I am recommending the Blogalongabond series by Neil Alcock
(aka @theincrediblesuit on Twitter). Here is his take on From Russia With Love.
Chicago Reader review:
For
my money, still the best Bond, with a screwball plotline that keeps the
locales changing and the surprises coming—even when reason dictates
that the picture should be over. Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw make a
creepy pair, and Daniela Bianchi embodies the essence of centerfold sex,
circa 1964.
