Produktion

Liebesgrüße aus Moskau wurde von April bis August 1963 unter der Regie von Terence Young nach einem Drehbuch von Johanna Harwood und Richard Maibaum auf der Grundlage des fünften Romans der Reihe – From Russia, with Love von Ian Fleming – gedreht. Der 115 Minuten lange Film wurde von Albert R. Broccoli und Harry Saltzman für EON produziert. Bildregisseur war Ted Moore, den Schnitt verantwortete Peter Hunt. Das Produktionsdesign stammt von Syd Cain, die Filmmusik von John Barry.

Der Film wurde mit folgendem Trailer beworben:

Die Produktionskosten für Liebesgrüße aus Moskau betrugen rund 2 Mio. US-Dollar – doppelt so viel wie für den Vorgänger und ersten Bond-Film der offiziellen Reihe 007 jagt Dr. No.

Die Uraufführung fand am 10. Oktober 1963 im Odeon Leicester Square in London statt.

Gestaltung und Kritik

Liebesgrüße aus Moskau ist der Hitchcock und der womöglich größte Klassiker unter den Bond-Filmen, der zugleich Anleihen bei Agatha Christies Mord im Orientexpress nimmt. Der Film etabliert eine Vielzahl der stilgebenden Elemente der Bond-Filme, darunter der Prolog, also der Vorspann vor der Titelsequenz, das zweite James-Bond-Thema, die Ausstattung mit Gadgets durch Q, die Rolle des Handlangers der Gegenseite, die Hubschrauberszene sowie die Ankündigung »James Bond kehrt zurück« am Ende des Films.
