Trivia: The hand writing "From Russia, with Love" on the picture of Tatiana Romanova does not belong to Sean Connery, but rather director Terence Young.
Trivia: Daniela Bianchi was involved in a road accident during production. On their journey to the set, Bianchi's driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed the car. The actress suffered bruising to her face and Bianchi's scenes had to be postponed for two weeks while the facial contusions healed.
Trivia: The same cars are seen over and over in the traffic shots: a '55 Plymouth, a red-orange VW bus, the car that was following Bond, a '58 Dodge.
Trivia: When Bond is spying on the Russian Embassy with a periscope, he sees Tatiana walking around. In this scene, Tatiana was played not by Daniela Bianchi but a stand-in, as director Terence Young had a strong dislike of Bianchi's legs.
Trivia: Sean Connery called this his favorite Bond film.
Trivia: Each one of Sean Connery's specially tailored suits cost approximately $2,000.
Trivia: Robert Shaw originally turned down the role of Red Grant because he thought the script was rubbish. His then-wife Mary Ure persuaded him to take up the part.
