A low-level Soviet (Istanbul) embassy cypher clerk/employee with a Russian name, Tatiana, was hired by evil terrorist organization SPECTRE member/officer Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), under orders from Ernst Blofeld (Anthony Dawson), to seduce and destroy Bond (Connery) in order to avenge the killing of Dr. No. She was to entice him (through her companionship and the promise of defection) to acquire a Lektor code machine from the Russians, an encryption or crytopgraphic device, so that SPECTRE could kill him. She revealed that she had fallen in love with him through a personnel photo. She first encountered Bond by awaiting him in bed (wearing only a sexy black velvet choker) in his Istanbul hotel suite, unaware that they were being filmed through a one-way mirror during their subsequent love-making. At one point, she asked Bond: "Will you make love to me all the time in England?" - part of a personal deal in which he would take her back to England (on the Orient Express) with the decoder. When she confessed: "I think my mouth is too big," Bond replied: "It's just the right size - for me that is." The film ended with the romantic pair sailing away in a Venice gondola after Tatiana shot Klebb (who was disguised as a maid, with a dagger-tipped shoe with poison venom).
