From Russia, With Love
It has been remarked that From Russia, With Love is Fleming's most traditional novel, and it has been suggested that this is the reason for the success of the film, which is faithful to its source. Bond does not appear at the beginning of the book, while the reader is taken through the machinations of the Russians plot to assassinate Bond and compromise British Intelligence. The story features some colourful scenes set in Istanbul and a dramatic ride on the Orient Express.
The film staring Sean Connery was the second to appear, following on the success of Dr No, and for many people it remains the best of the series, combining a minimum of gadgetry, a well structured plot and a claustrophobic fight on the Orient Express.
