Year:1963
Country of origin:UK

Genre:Bond
Starring:Sean Connery, Daniela Bianchi, Robert Shaw
Rating:4/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057076/
Tagline:The world's masters of murder pull out all the stops to destroy Agent 007!
Favourite line:"Tell me, which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?"

Gritty, hard as nails Bond movie.
Connery is superb, conveying confidence, charm and a vicious streak with ease. There's an excellent villain in the form of Robert Shaw, a man that sends chills down the spine.
In fact, this is virtually perfect, and the only reason it doesn't get full marks is because the bit with the gypsies in Istanbul is a bit tedious.
A great addition to the Bond series.
