After the great success of “Dr.No”, the movie that introduced the James Bond character to the silver screen, Terence Young’s “From Russia with Love”, the second in the James Bond series, came into the screen in 1963. Filled with a heavy dose of non-stop action scenes with good-looking photography and pure spy story, From Russia with Love” is considered by many to be the best Bond movie. There’s intelligent plot, great pace, exotic locations, young Connery, and we are given Daniela Bianchi – the best Bond girl ever!
What’s more? Istanbul looks so beautiful on screen; the cinematography is too wonderful to show vistas of Istanbul in the 1960s. The great fight scene in the Orient Express train is the strawberries on the cake!
We have checked out and here are some photos of Istanbul from the legendary movie!
