PLOT SUMMARY
James Bond becomes
the target of a vendetta waged by the leader of SPECTRE - he plans to
use Bond to gain access to a secret Russian decoding device which is
being smuggled out by an unwitting Soviet agent. (Full Synopsis)
CAPSULE REVIEW
Bond goes from
strength to strength in this worthy follow up to Dr No (1962).
Terence Young's
direction is spot on, the pace never slackens and Connery perfects his
Bond performance.
A true gem. (Full Review)

CENSORSHIP HISTORY
UK
Rating: PG
The British Board of Film Censors expressed some concerns about the
scene in which a SPECTRE cameraman films Bond and Romanova making
love. The Board advised the producers to keep the "sweating cameraman"
as obscure as possible or face the consequences of having the entire
vital sequence removed.
