- This is how it was used in this movie.
As Bond arrives in Istanbul at 23 minutes, a variation titled Bond With Bongos plays. A few minutes later as he checks into the hotel the actual Bond Theme plays. So there are two, but only Bond With Bongos was put into the soundtrack album.
In fact after Dr. No, no soundtrack album ever again included the main Bond theme, even tho it was included in movies at least up to Diamonds Are Forever. This was a great frustration to me when I couldn't find the theme for many years.
From Russia With Love probably the BEST BOND movie, dark, cold, edgy and a fantastic build up in the story and character development. Perfect
By far, the best of all the Bond films.
.. and the Best Bond girl too .. by far
FRWL and Goldfinger are my two favorite Bond films. Connery will be the best Bond ever!
@@Jantv81 Thunderball was my favourite Connery Bond film. But then after finally reading the Fleming novels last year, I then immediately had a Bond film marathon and found myself appreciating FRWL more and ranking that as my favourite Connery Bond film.
In the book Bond is killed. But gotten better and alive in next Fleming novel
Definitely the most realistic. Diamonds had some good scenes but last third got silly. A friend and I saw it at water tower theater in Chicago. Miss first ten minutes and saw wholy movie again
5:02 Love how that segment of the Bond theme kicks in as Bond tips the hotel porter. Must've been a big tip lol
From Russia with Love is my favourite Bond film for many reasons but one of these is the scene where Bond and Tatiana are on the Boat cruising down the Bosphorus. Another is the train fight scene with Grant. FRWL was Sean's favourite as he said in many interviews sighting that the film had an air of reality to it and there were not too many stunts of gimmicks at the time.
I was a child of the 60's and still love the decade today for the way films were made back then. I know in the last 50+ years the world of film making has moved on and this is great to some extent for me but the films back in the 60's were just so glamorous.
My favorite too. What I appreciate about this one is how well edited it is throughout, especially showing how Grant picks up the sign/countersign between Bond and the other agents.
From Russia with love, My favorite too, along with close second Live and let die/the spy who loved me, but don't like any of the D Craig alleged bond movies as how he got the role is beyond me 😡😡😡😡😡😡
@@KALPESHPATEL-gy3hf when Sean ‘got the job’ it was going to be order of release of the first 3 with
Thuderball
Live and Let Die
FRWL
We know why it was different with court case❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
5:29-5:40. An absolute work of art! I was born in 1991 and have been a huge huge huge fan of how Bond was as a franchise. Now not so much unfortunately, but I still watch the old films religiously.
One of the few times in the series we hear the Bond theme in its entirety.
I think its actually the only time. In You only live twice it is there during the Little Nellie chase but there its edited and cut. In on her majesty‘s secret service it is playing during the battle on Piz Gloria but also edited and cut. I think this is the only scene in the franchise in which it is truly playing unedited in full length
A TRUE spy film love it.. love all bond but this one is a masterpiece
Love this 007 outing. Pacy and fun, just how a Bond film should be
He was trying to find where the blaring music was coming from. The ol speaker behind the painting trick..
Sean Connery was great as James Bond. As whole, a great movie.
Exactly ‼
+WontB Quiet - Lois Maxwell played Moneypenny from 1962 to 1985 indeed. 14 movies in total.
All those movies she was in and her total speaking time was less than an hour.
In the top 3 bond films in my opinion and Shaw one of the best baddies
55 yrs ago world was different
The Cold War about to get hot;
Cuban missle crises for one.
4:10 Richard Harrow? Wow, he's both alive and has his face back!
Awesome 👍
I can do the bit of suavely arriving in the hotel but I have trouble with a lot of the other Bondisms.
全てのボンドシリーズの中でも最高傑作の一本に間違いなし😮😂🎦❤
Fue la primera película que ví de niño de 007 en el teatro Municipal me acuerdo del gran cartel que decía El regreso del agente 007.

I kept going to James Bond movies when John Barry scored the music. Afterward, I could care less! Much like Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock. One without the other wasn't much of a movie!
Absolutely true very good point
4:23 The most out of place use of the bond theme. I wonder why they just didn't ask John Barry to use a interesting way of the theme in that part. Instead the original theme song is used. Oh he searching for bugs in his room oh how exciting is this?!?!?? Unlike the skyhooking to the plane in TB, YOLT helicopter fight, and the raid on Piz Gloria ohmss that was the perfect use of it.
+Timo B Well the adventure was beginning. But they NEVER put this theme in a soundtrack album once again after Dr.No. You couldn't find a copy.
The out of place use of it makes it quite hilarious to watch 😂
Perfectly placed in my opinion, the theme is directly related to the character not to any particular scene. FRWL and Dr. No are the most accurate films to the original IF's novels, TB & YOLT are mere resemblances to the books
@@niallclarke4762 It's a big band / jazzy / surf song. I don't think it's out of place at all. Heck, it could have been coming from a radio or something! (The Bond theme IS established as diegetic music in Octopussy, after all)
It doesn't have to underscore action necessarily. For that, Barry usually composed new, original themes with a more traditional orchestra. See "The Palace Fight" from the film I mentioned, or "He's Dangerous" from AVTAK.
It builds suspense well, nothing is mundane with James Bond
It seems that MoneyPenny has been the same woman throughtout more than one film.. not sure how many films though, but have noticed it's the same woman
Yes, her name is Lois Maxwell
It was up until A View To A Kill. Lois Maxwell.
Searching a room for bugs..... DUH NUH DA NA!
It couldn’t possibly have been John Barry’s decision to incorporate the James Bond theme here, especially in its entirety. It’s the one time in the film where the character of 007 seems to be headed into the realm of parody unfortunately.
What does any of that even mean.
The title is a clever misnomer, as no love has ever come from Russia.

I'm glad Bond didn't have to use the bathroom.
Because there's a one-way mirror?
If anything, it's digital and mp3. Doesn't sound bad to me.
why is the voice and the music high a pitch?
Nowadays everybody has to look for cameras in rooms
Most realistic. Fight with Grant best in filmdom
Imagine if
this movie was called
From Russia With Death
instead of
From Russia With Love
Now how should i tip
I am Cavé, Stênio please to meet you Mister Bond! Tomem cuidado com meus cigarros.
I can understand a car chase or fist fight but looking behind painting's is not what I would call a bond moment therefore I see no need for the bond theme !
Elite Snowman king this was the early days before the bond theme was a thing. Bond theme= detective work then
Is checking your hotel room for listening devices such a common experience? In Bond's world it's "spycraft", for the rest of us it's paranoia.
- Its called; "going with the flow".
> You can't enjoy dancing to the music with your partner (the movie) if your mind is nit picking & criticizing everything.
- It's entertainment. Not a forensic analysis of theatrical do's & donts.

That movie was terrible. I think it was boring
Those were different times, movies had slower rythm than today's movies. Nowadays everything has been seen and done, so movies need to be faster and louder in order to keep the public interested.

Thanks for the valuable input.
But it is your sense, your sense is terrible.
Sean Connery and Roger Moore, the BEST Bond ever. 😊
