Part 3/9:
From Russia With Love is crowned the best Connery film, earning an S rating. The narrator fondly recalls the memorable theme song, humorously refusing to sing it but implying the listener can imagine the lyrics. This film stands out as the pinnacle of Connery’s Bond, combining action, romance, and espionage.
Goldfinger, another Connery masterpiece, earns an S grade as well, highlighted by iconic scenes like the torture sequence and Gert Fröbe’s memorable villain. However, the narrator admits the film’s dated elements and odd characterizations, calling Goldfinger “sloppy” yet still essential.
