Trivia:
In the books, Bond often drives his beloved Bentley. The car appears in this film for the only time in the regular series. moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: In the scene just after the helicopter crash, when 007 is running down the hill away from the helicopter, another person in the same type of suit is seen coming up the hill from the right. They are hunched over, presumably trying to stay out of sight from the camera. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Morzeny: [after Grant kills a look-a-like Bond] Exactly one minute, fifty-two seconds. That's excellent.

Hard to believe, but the movie is actually an improvement on Fleming's novel. Rather than have the Lektor operation be a simple Russian scheme to discredit Bond as Fleming did, SPECTRE takes a hand here in their first on-screen appearance as an organization. The plot is improved considerably because of this. The movie thrives on its supporting actors and Sheybal. Connery is somewhat outshone by these greater lights, but gives a credible performance. From Russia... is a different pace of movie: no one here is intent on wiping out the world's population, or destroying the gold supply, or stealing submarines. Basically, it's a quiet little plot focusing on an elaborate "sting" operation. Until the end, the pace is kind of slow, and might lose more "modern" audiences, particularly those used to incredible stunt sequences every 20 minutes.
