James Bond: From Russia With Love





Drink: Martini
Entree: Stroganoff
Dessert: Russian Tea Cakes

Movie:
The Cold War, tailored suits, wreckless driving & a very bad cat all come together to make this one of the best Bond films.  Being only the second installment of the series much of the brand was still being established but you can tell they are just about to hit their stride. For example many elements that we expect to see in every Bond film such as an original score, elaborate secret gadgets & an expensive lengthy chase scene first made their appearances here.  Also while viewing consider how the subject matter & the timing of the release was impeccable since it was the post-Cuban Missile Crises JFK era.  All of this made fiction & real life world events collide into a relevant edgy modern film that equals classic Bond.
