From Russia With Love was the second James Bond movie and there is an interesting bit of trivia about it. It was the last film President John F. Kennedy saw at the White House before his assassination. In fact it was JFK who was credited with igniting "Bond mania" in the United States when he mentioned From Russia With Love was one of his favorite books. This is a wonderful documentary on the making of the film narrated by "Avengers" star Patrick MacNee (who co starred in a later Bond film A View To A Kill). The documentary mentions the tragic story of Pedro Armendariz who co starred in the film and struggled to finish it because he was dying of cancer at the time and killed himself shortly afterwards. To me Sean Connery will always be the best Bond.
