.... Charles Feldman who bought the rights to 'Casino Royale', .... .... decided, at the suggestion of several writers, to make a James Bond [size=small]spoof[/size]. Many writers worked on the script.... Needless to say, 'Casino Royale' released in 1967 was [size=medium]a mess[/size]. ...... 'Casino Royale', in all fairness, [size=large]shouldn't be considered a James Bond film[/size]. |

Fleming’s first choice of actor to play 007 in Dr No, the first Bond book to reach the big screen, was Cary Grant– but he was too expensive.
