Red Grant kills a James Bond stand-in that wears this creepy, pale James Bond (Sean Connery) mask in a training exercise at the beginning of From Russia With Love (1963)…something a serial killer could wear!

FRWL & “Call Me Bwana”: Eon’s only non-Bond

Bond and Kerim Bey are about to assassinate a Russian agent during a pivotal sequence in From Russia With Love (1963), when an interesting movie poster crops up in the foreground of a building:

“Harry Saltzman Albert R. Broccoli Present”? Is this another Bond movie?!

Nope, it’s a poster for Call Me Bwana (1963), the only other non-James Bond produced Eon Productions movie. It was a farce film that starred Bob Hope and Anita Ekberg. Check out its bizarre plot at its Wikipedia page. Cool huh?
