FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE | Rosa Klebb's shoe

[@1madhammer]

They left out the one-liner! Tanya: “Horrible woman!” Bond: “Yes, she’s had her kicks”.

[@selfdo]

Scene was choreographed well...Tatiana (Daneila Bianchi) doesn't immediately cry out when she recognizes Rosa Klebb. One would wonder if she was "wavering", but since she's somewhat naive and inexperienced, especially as an operative, her hesitancy is understandable. t'd be reasonable to infer that she was simply frightened and hesitant to act, at first, but realizes that Rosa would probably kill her next, and takes that opportunity to knock Rosa's sidearm away. That she picks it up and shoots Klebb indicates that Tatiana can act and KILL after all.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@selfdo She's still wavering with the gun as well, she simply acted on instinct at first to knock her back. She truly made her choice with the gun: The man who took care of her over the woman who hung death over her head at the slightest mistake. That and clearly she was confident in her aim. She truly took control of her life in that moment and it's awesome to see.

WRONG Inside Bond movies documentary The original James Bond movies actor is CARY GRANT. He was the main candidate for James Bond in Dr No. Grant was an old FRIEND of Albert R Broccoli and attended his wedding.The best man. Roger Moore was also thought of as a BOND in Dr No. They could NOT spend almost all the money to buy Roger Moore free from the TV contract. By then there had been no Bond films. Then they waited and checked if Moore was available several times. 1961 1964 1967 1968 and 1972 when he got the role of BOND for the second time. Only debuted in the movies. Not like BOND 007. That's one of the few more reasons why Moore first played James Bond 007 in Mainly Millicent on television in 1964. Moore is an old FRIEND of Christopher Lee. Lee and Ian Fleming are in the same family. That's one of the few more reasons why ALBERT R BROCCOLI was an actor in his Bond films. The Spy who love me and Moonraker IMDB AND Wikipedia. Ian Flemings Bond movies actor: David Niven Fleming would probably accept Roger Moore as James Bond in Dr No. NEVER Sean Connery. That's one of the few more reasons why BOB SIMMON's STUNTMAN played Bond first in Dr No. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY. Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman could only CONTINUE with BOB SIMMONS STUNTMAN as BOND in Dr No-Goldfinger. Wreck Connery as BOND in Dr No. . The way to say the name borrowed from The Saint films from 1939/1940. (My name is Templar Simon Templar / Templar Simon Templar) The Saint in London the Saints VICATION Connery debuted in Dr No in Casino. 7 minutes after Bob Simmons stuntman. Not in GUNBARRIEL SEQUENCE as MANY people think. Connery got the role of BOND in Dr No because of Darby O'gill and the little people and that CARY GRANT ROGER MOORE AND DAVID NIVEN can not. Connery is DANA BROCCOLIS BOND ACTOR. Dr No Director Youngs James Bond movies actor Richard Johnson The real Sean Connery's Bond movies are from Thunderball you only live twice Diamond are forever and Never say never again. There, Connery does the same as Bob Simmons' stuntman in the first 3 Eon Productions Bond films. Dr No From Russia with love and Goldfinger. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY.

[@selfdo]

Robert Shaw's character in FRWL was named Donald "Red" Grant. The "Jaws" character you're probably thinking of was a larger man, with very distinctive, UNATTRACTIVE "dental work", played by the late Richard Kiel, who also played hulking villains or henchmen (Reace, in "Silver Streak", and Captain Drazak, the Chetnik leader in "Force 10 from Navarone"). "Jaws", named as a parody of the eponymous shark with also a crushing bite, ends up turning on Hugo Drax when he realizes that he and his new girlfriend, the diminutive and near-sighted Dolly, won't figure into Drax's plans for a "perfect" human community. One would sort of wonder what his fate would be, although Jaws and Dolly are rescued by the space-going Marines, as w/o doubt quite a few nations would have pending charges against him, and if he "talks" about what he knows to MI-6, the CIA, and so on, he's going to have a rather LARGE price on his head...er...not that he can't take care of himself!

[@melissaking6019]

Lotte Lenya as Rosa Klebb is an iconic Bond villain. She was a great actress and gives 200% as Klebb. She exudes evil - the most interesting and repugnant female Bond villain in the franchise. The way she roars 'Romanova!" makes you jump. The fight scene is classic. She's less than half Connery's size, cursing him in Russian, but she's so lethal with that poisoned shoe blade that she might kill him despite the lion-tamer chair. The Red Grant-Bond brutal conflict in the train compartment is probably the best fight scene in all cinema, but this one is so memorable.

Goldfinger is iconic but From Russia With Love is my absolutely favorite Connery performance

[@28pbtkh23]

The best thing about this scene is Bond’s suit

[@PatrickOCnMD]

I think in this picture especially, Connery was at his peak in terms of perfection in just looking, sounding and acting the part of James Bond. Although he was certainly not bad at all in Goldfinger or Thunderball.

[@28pbtkh23]

John P OConnell - I agree, and his clothes are simply superlative in the first three films. Some of Daniel Craig’s suits look quite tacky in comparison.

@@Inframan-6767 to be fair, in the book, the whole thing wasn't even the gun's fault. It was Bond's fault. He had a suppressor on the Beretta 418 at the time tucked in his waistband.

@@MrEab2010 You are spot on with that. It was clever of Fleming to transform Commander Jamaica into Dr No. I also like both the novel and the film.

[@MrEab2010]

@@pfarquharson1 you probably heard about the scandal sorrounding Thunderball. Fleming developed a script with Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham for a movie to star Burl Ives as the villain and feature a yacht called the Virginian. The movie deal never happened but Fleming took the script and wrote the 1961 novel Thunderball from it. McClory sued Fleming, saying he stole the idea of SPECTRE and Ernst Stavro Blofeld from him. They settled and McClory was given the rights to both, which his estate only recently sold to the Bond producers. Broccoli and Saltzman let McClory produce the movie Thunderball for this reason.

[@pfarquharson1]

​@@MrEab2010 Friend. You must be a Bond fanatic like myself. I know the whole story. Jack Whittingham joined Kevin McClory in the legal row with Fleming and got a bit of money as well. McClory was very good at underwater scenes and as a lot of the film was underwater, that was handy. It was the wonderful Terence Young who directed.

[@12classics39]

It must never be forgotten that Tatiana is ultimately the one who takes down the main villain. Bond owes his life to her. The exact same thing happens with Domino in Thunderball. Izabella Scorupco was correct in her claim that “Bond girls have always been strong.”
