Sean Connery's second outing as 007 is terrific. Following the success of 1962's Dr. No, director Terence Young and the MGM team stepped up several gears the following year to produce an even more dynamic and highly atmospheric thriller.

Connery - who took to the Bond role in Dr No with tremendous ease - is on even better form here, chasing Spectre to a decoding machine in Istanbul. If that wasn't enough, Robert Shaw plays a creepy assasin with great aplomb, Daniela Bianchi is good as the beautiful Russian defector, and there's one or two gadgets, such as the poison shoe. Oh, and don't forget the gipsy-girl cat fight.
