Synopsis: Casino Royale (1967)

This swinging spoof of Ian Fleming's spy hero features an aging James Bond (David Niven), reluctantly dragged out of retirement to chase down the evil crime clique called SMERSH.

This swinging spoof of Ian Fleming's spy hero features an aging James Bond (David Niven), reluctantly dragged out of retirement to chase down the evil crime clique called SMERSH. In order to confound the forces led by the villainous Le Chiffre (Orson Welles), the Secret Service enlists five other agents, also under the name "Bond," and all six converge on the titular casino. Meanwhile, Woody Allen, as the retiring secret agent's nephew, causes havoc at every turn.

The gleefully chaotic product of five directors, numerous screenwriters, and the late 1960s in general, CASINO ROYALE revels in its psychedelic spy satire premise. The comedy features a legion of stars in roles both large and small: Niven, Welles, Allen, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, William Holden, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jacqueline Bisset, Deborah Kerr, and many more. (Apparently, Sellers and Welles despised each other, and Sellers would frequently not show up for his scenes.) Amid the wackiness, there are genuine moments of hilarity, making the film a surreal romp through Bond lore and the more eccentric aspects of 1960s pop culture.

    A look at the 60's

    By n0ty  Nov 17, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Casino Royale (1967) review helpful

    Pros: Great Video/Audio transfer and bonus material

    Cons: Can't think of any

    When I first saw "Casino Royale" in the 60's, It gave me the "Deer in the Headlights" stare! I came out of the theater and thought to myself, "What was that???". I was hooked and had to see it over and over.Since t...hen, I've taped it off broadcast TV, but the quality obviously suffered a lot. So when the DVD came along, I was really excited. Well, my hopes were fulfulled, because this is a lavish widescreen transfer of a Technicolor movie with excellent stereo sound!As a side note, Audiophiles have been buying the soundtrack (composed by Burt Bacharach and performed by Herb Alpert) on vinyl LP's for about $150 (USED!) because of the recording quality.This is a "Must Buy" for Bond collectors too...BTW, If you like Bacharach, you should also get Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

    Pros: Allstar cast, great sets, funky storeline

    I love Bond movies and was happy to finally get my hands on a copy of this movie to add to my bond collection. A must have for Bond fans.
