As you did, we liked the action, but also we appreciated the fact that this flick had a real (in so far as a Bond film has any reality!) female lead who does more than volupt. When the two finally fall into bed, as the ending implies, you feel that they both deserve it. Nevertheless, "From Russia With Love" and "You Only Live Twice" are both excellent--I wouldn't try to rank them. Incidentally, we normally avoid violent films, but we don't seem to mind James Bond. Maybe it's because they are so unrealistic, a sort of 'sanitized violence'.
