FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE – Pre-Title Sequence Decoded!

Join Dan, Tom and Vicky as we kick off our series into the pre-title sequences of spy movies with the From Russia With Love pre-title sequence!

Our discussion of the From Russia With Love pre-title sequence looks at:

  • A brief history of pre-title sequences in movies
  • The setting of the garden in the From Russia With Love pre-title sequence
  • The use of statues
  • How lighting affects the viewing of the scene
  • Why James Bond does not seem confident in this scene
  • Who and what caused the sound that sounded like a twig snapping
  • Why did the dead guy at the end have a mustache?
  • And More …

This pre-title sequence gives us the answer to a very popular question in James Bond trivia quizzes. Namely, how long did it take Grant to execute the kill?
