Thursday, November 6, 2025 6 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
Explore the books that have made the jump from print to the big and small screen. This month we are reading From Russia with Love by Ian Fleming.
James Bond goes head-to-head with SMERSH in a bid to secure a key piece of Soviet intelligence. SMERSH, the Russian intelligence unit whose acronym stands for “Death to Spies,” is hell-bent on destroying Special Agent James Bond. His death would deal a catastrophic hammer blow to the heart of the British Secret Service. The lure? A beautiful woman who needs 007’s help. Tatiana Romanova is a Russian spy who promises to hand over the prized Spektor decoding machine if Bond aids her defection. Bond suspects a trap but can’t resist the opportunity to give the British the upper hand in a chilling new front of the Cold War. So begins a deadly game of bluff and double bluff, with Bond a marked man as he enters the murky world of Balkan espionage.
Also a classic Bond film starring Sean Connery from 1963.
Page to Screen meets on the first Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Workforce Development Classroom at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library.
