May 27, 1964 –
The second spy film in the James Bond series, From Russia with Love, was released in the US on this date.
Hoping for an end to the Cold War, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman didn’t want James Bond’s main enemy to be Russian, so for the movie version, his nemesis is the fictitious criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E., seeking revenge for the death of their operative, Dr. No.
