How convenient that the Russian chess player was able to win the game on a moment's notice in only one more move. I wish I could do that when I play chess!!

[NecroVMX]

Interestingly enough in the book he chose to sit there and finish the game rather than jump up and answer the call from SMERSH, which got him in trouble.

Fleming invisioned Bond as looking like Hoagy Carmichael.

Why are the intros soooo long? Wasting my time.

[Marshalsify]

The best ever scene in From Russia with Love is the classic train fight sequence between Robert Shaw and Sean Connery.

[Don Jones]

Does anybody know whether President Kennedy liked the film? I don't think the films recaptured the spirit of the novels until Casino Royale 2006. <

According to the documentary on the making of the film, it was inspired by the Hitchcock film.

[RobRobertTheGameDude]

Robert Shaw is Badasssssss.

[newRo1ism]

also to add, He's from Czechoslovakia, not russia, well in the film anyway

[Don Jones]

Was the scene where James Bond is chased by a helicopter inspired by the scene in the film "North by Northwest" where the hero is dive bombed by a crop dusting plane?

@NecroVMX I have to say, the novel itself is very well written, although I do feel they could have stretched out Bond's encounters with SMERSH. I mean, only a handful of pages had Bond deal with Red Grand and then Klebb. I do feel as though a confrontation with General G. would have brought it full circle.
