Terence Young’s stylish, first-class spy thriller endures as one of the trump cards in the Bond canon, if not its best film. An in-prime Sean Connery, malevolent villain Robert Shaw and striking John Barry score are just some of the many highlights in this 007 masterclass. It may not be from Russia, but it was clearly made with love.
