The film was shot on locales in Europe. It garnered more profits than Dr No. Sean Connery was again Bond, and Robert Shaw was the assassin Donald Grant.  

It was also the second and last film to feature the role of Sylvia Trench, who was supposed to continue through the series as Bond's somewhat regular bed partner between assignments.

The violence of the second film was decidedly pumped up from the previous film, with more than double the homicides. US President John F. Kennedy said  From Russia with Love was one of his ten favourite books.
