What happens
From Russia with Love is a 1963 spy film directed by Terence Young and the second in the James Bond series. It was produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The picture was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and written by Richard Maibaum and Johanna Harwood, based on Ian Fleming's 1957 novel From Russia, with Love. In the film, Bond is sent to assist in the defection of Soviet consulate clerk Tatiana Romanova in Istanbul, where SPECTRE plans to avenge Bond's killing of Dr. No. Following the success of Dr. No, United Artists gave approval for a sequel and doubled the budget available for the producers. In addition to filming on location in Turkey, the action scenes were shot at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, and in Scotland. Production ran over budget and behind schedule, but was hurriedly finished by its release date. From Russia with Love was a critical and commercial success. It took in more than $78 million in worldwide box-office receipts, far more than its $2 million budget and more than its predecessor Dr. No, thereby becoming a blockbuster in 1960s cinema. In 2004, Total Film magazine named it the ninth-greatest British film of all time; it was the only Bond film to appear on the list. It was also the first film in the series to win a BAFTA Award for Best Cinematography. From Russia with Love was followed by Goldfinger in 1964. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
