About this product

Product Information

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.

  • More like Rowan and Martin than Broccoli and Saltzman.

    You need to strap on your patience pants for this one: this was made during the 60s when almost everything was a parody, including the original James Bond. This version of Casino Royale is a parody of the parody, and not just once but five times. It had five directors, telling five plus tales derived from Ian Fleming's original story. Continuity is not a strong suit here. It begins w David Niven as a reclusive, retired James Bond, and things start going down hill from there. Viewed as separate skits, there are some very amusing vignettes, and all are filled w plenty of eye-candy, including Deborah Kerr, Ursula Andress, Joanna Pettet, a very young Jaqueline Bisset, Barbara Bouchet as Moneypenny, and Dahlia Lavi. When Peter Sellers and Woody Allen show up as James Bond as well, you know sanity has just left the room. Orson Welles appears as Le Chiffre, and a raft of other stars begin popping up as cameos to further the action. This starts looking more like Rowan and Martin than Broccoli and Saltzman. Think James Bond in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, or What's New, Pussycat or The Twilight Zone and the parody emerges. This is 60s metier. Sit back w the popcorn and enjoy the many laughs.
