I think 'From Russia With Love' is my favourite Bond film; I have a copy but can't remember which character Najia Regin plays.Talking of Bond girls, the lovely Nadja Regin of 'From Russia With Love' died the other day. She was 87.
Anyway, here are a couple of photos of the lovely Claudine Auger

Yes, I have that DVD. I love the depiction of Heaven as a massive civil service-like administration. The set design in 'Black Narcissus' was equally imaginative.
Powell and Pressburger were, IMO, ahead of their time, but Powell's reputation took a massive hit with the release of 'Peeping Tom' in 1960, which was deemed so offensive by the critics of the day, it effectively ended Powell's directing career.
(And since this is an audio forum, I ought to add that it is the only film I know of in which Wright and Weaire tape decks and Quad 57 electrostatic speakers make a fleeting appearance.)

I'm sure I've seen that, but it would have been many years ago. Was it shot partly in colour and partly in b&w? Something about deciding whether he should be dead or go back to earth?

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

I saw that when it first came out. It may not be nice, but it's superbly done, in much the same way that Repulsion was.

Here is a article on this. It may not have been the reason... Although it didn't help

I have a copy. I'm not sure if it is now available on DVD, but if it is I'll replace my VHS copy.
Yes, you are right. Polanski's 'Repulsion' is a remarkable study of a young woman's descent into madness. And it stars the lovely Catherine Deneuve.
