How you’ll sell it: “A handsome British traveler falls for a beautiful Soviet clerk in Cold War-era Venice. But their love is forbidden, so they sneak away on the Orient Express.”
What you’ll see:Bond. James Bond. In Connery’s second go-around as 007, he’s after a Soviet encryption device stolen by SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion. Obviously.) Bonus: The badass evil henchman is played by ModernMan favorite Robert Shaw — the same guy who played badass shark hunter Quint in Jaws.
