This 1963 film is the second episode in the James Bond series, produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman and directed by Terence Young. James Bond is sent to assist in the defection of Soviet consulate clerk Tatiana Romanova in Turkey, where SPECTRE plans to avenge Bond's killing of Dr. No. The action scene of James Bond and Red Grant (a Soviet professional killer) in the compartment on the Orient Express would make you shiver with thrill and adrenalin-gush. In fact, the director choreographed the fight between Grant and Bond along with stunt co-ordinator Peter Perkins. The scene took three weeks to film and was violent enough to worry some on the production. This action scene looks quite realistic compared to the fight scenes that look absurdly acrobatic in the later episodes. I like Daniela Bianchi (who plays a sexy Russian double agent) more thn any other Bond girls. She is an Italian actress, who was the 1st runner-up in the 1960 Miss Universe contest. Apparently her Italian accent was too mcuh that her voice was dubbed by Barbara Jefford.
