The film has fone through alternate titles on various networks by mistake, the ABC network constantly referred to it as James Bonds Failure in the 1990s.

The film's famous slogan : "Casino Royale is too much ... for one James Bond!" refers to Bond's ruse to mislead SMERSH in which six other agents are designated as "James Bond", namely, Baccarat master Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers), millionaire spy Vesper Lynd (Ursula Andress), his secretary Miss Moneypenny (Barbara Bouchet), Bond's daughter with Mata Hari, Mata Bond (Joanna Pettet) and British agents "Coop" (Terence Cooper) and "The Detainer" (Daliah Lavi).

Charles K.

Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, had turned him down. Believing that he could not compete with the official series, Feldman resolved to produce the film as a satire.^[2] Charles K.

Overview

The story of Casino Royale is told in an episodic format and is best outlined in "chapters". Val Guest oversaw the assembly of the sections, although he turned down the credit of "co-ordinating director".^[3]

Opening sequence

The film's opening sequence is a deliberate ironic take on the dramatic opening sequences in the Eon Bond films. Evelyn Tremble and Inspector Mathis meet in a pissoir, where Mathis presents his credentials, setting the satirical tone of the film. EON Productions is a film production company known for producing the James Bond film series. ... Pissoir, retitled Urinal in some countries, was the first feature film directed and released by John Greyson. ...

Chapter 1 (director: John Huston)

The first chapter starts as the head of British MI6, M (John Huston), and representatives of the CIA, KGB and French secret service drive to the country estate of Sir James Bond 007 (David Niven), a legendary British spy who retired from the secret service after luring the love of his life, Mata Hari, to her death in front of a firing squad.

Mata Hari, exotic dancer and convicted spy, made her name synonymous with femme fatale during World War I. For the Indonesian supermarket/department store chain, see Matahari. ... Execution by firing squad is a method of capital punishment, especially in times of war. ...

M and the others beg Bond to lend his leadership to a mission investigating the disappearance and deaths of secret agents around the world. When Bond refuses, M orders a military strike on Bond's mansion; the mansion is destroyed, but M is killed in the attack.

Bond's name has become symbolic of the spirit of the British secret service, to the extent that another individual has been given his name and his number 007 to keep the legend alive. This no doubt refers to Sean Connery's Bond, as Bond decries his replacement as being "oversexed" and unsuitable as a "real spy". Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born 25 August 1930) is a retired Scottish actor and producer who is perhaps best known as the first actor to portray James Bond in cinema, starring in seven Bond films. ...

The chapter also sets the first of the film's many anachronisms, Mata Hari was executed in 1917, 50 years prior to the movie's timeline, which would mean that Bond retired as a 20 year old. An anachronism (from Greek ana, back, and chronos, time) is an artifact that belongs to another time, a person who seems to be displaced in time (i. ...

Chapter 2 (director: John Huston)

Bond travels to Scotland to return M's remains, a toupee, which is dubbed a 'hairloom' by Lady Fiona McTarry (Deborah Kerr), his grieving "widow". Bond has to fend off the advances of McTarry's many young "daughters". This article is about the country. ... A toupée is a hairpiece or partial wig of natural or synthetic hair worn to cover partial baldness. ... Deborah Kerr, CBE (September 30, 1921 – October 16, 2007) was a Golden Globe Award-winning Scottish actress who was also awarded an honorary Academy Award and BAFTA recognition. ...

Lady Fiona is actually Agent Mimi, chosen to impersonate the widow since she has "the best Scots accent". Bond is invited to a ceremonial grouse shoot even though grouse are out of season. Lady Fiona tells him "Whenever a McTarry dies, the grouse come into season." Scots refers to the Anglic varieties spoken in parts of Scotland. ... Genera Tetrao Lagopus Falcipennis Centrocercus Bonasa Dendrapagus Tympanuchus Grouse are from the order Galliformes which inhabit temperate and subarctic regions of the northern hemisphere. ...

That night, Bond handily defeats a gang of thugs in a cannonball throwing competition. Lady Fiona is so impressed with his victory she starts telling him in French that he is magnificent. The other SMERSH agents begin to doubt her loyalty and imprison her.

The next day the grouse turn out to be disguised flying bombs. Agent Mimi escapes and helps Bond to foil the attack, he has a magnetic button that is being used to lead the grouse bombs towards him. Agent Mimi and Bond launch the button back at the SMERSH agents who volley it back to them. After several such volleys, the button lands in the launch truck, destroying it. Mimi subsequently leaves to join a convent. The Vergeltungswaffe 1 Fi 103 / FZG-76 (V-1), known as the Flying bomb, Buzz bomb or Doodlebug, was the first modern guided missile used in wartime and the first cruise missile. ...

Returning to London, Bond survives another attempt on his life involving a remote controlled dairy truck filled with explosives. When the truck loses video contact with the controllers, it is put on auto-pilot. Entering his compound he opens and closes the automatic gates; when they close, the chasing car skids sideways up against the gates. The truck then crashes into the car and blows up.

Chapter 3 (director: Val Guest)

David Niven as Bond and Barbara Bouchet as Miss Moneypenny

Bond is now promoted to the position of M and finds his secretary is his original Miss Moneypenny's daughter, Miss Moneypenny, (Barbara Bouchet). His first order is to rename all remaining MI6 agents "James Bond 007", as a ruse, to confuse the enemy. He also orders that an irresistible male agent be found who has enough self-control to resist the charms of opposing female enemy agents. Image File history File links Bouchet&Niven2. ...

Such an agent is found in "Coop", Terence Cooper. He seduces Miss Moneypenny and she becomes smitten with him, so he is picked to enter the anti-seduction by females training. This new James Bond 007 is even able to resist the charms of M/Sir James' "secret weapon" - an exotic agent known as The Detainer (Daliah Lavi), herself another James Bond 007, this makes Coop want to have his head examined.

Chapter 4 (director: Joseph McGrath)

Bond recruits retired British secret agent, Vesper Lynd, played by Ursula Andress, to assist, by promising to have her tax arrears written off. She recruits baccarat master Evelyn Tremble, played by Peter Sellers to challenge Le Chiffre at baccarat and bankrupt him in order to get at his employers, SMERSH.

After a brief fling with Vesper involving her photography and his dressing up as historical figures Hitler, Napoleon and Toulouse-Lautrec, Tremble agrees to become involved in the plans and receives a whirlwind indoctrination into the ways of spying from Q. Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 – April 30, 1945, standard German pronunciation in the IPA) was the Führer (leader) of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi Party) and of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. ...

Logically, this chapter should occur after the Mata Bond sequence that follows, as Le Chiffre is playing baccarat in this chapter because of the loss of money from the auction she disrupts in the next.

Chapter 5 (director: Ken Hughes)

Bond reconciles with his estranged daughter Mata Bond (Joanna Pettet) who looks just like her mother, Mata Hari. Mata spends her time giving, what Bond calls, poor dance recitals. Recruited into MI6, and is sent to Berlin from London in a taxi driven by Carlton Towers, a British Foreign Office official played by Bernard Cribbins in order to infiltrate "International Mother's Help," a school for nannies. It is in reality a SMERSH spy school and is where Agent Mimi and the others had received their orders to intercept Bond in Scotland. Joanna Pettet in The House Joanna Pettet born Joanna Jane Salmon on November 16, 1942 in London, England, was an Anglo-Canadian actress until her retirement in 1990. ...

Mata encounters her mother's instructors including the diminutive Polo, played by Ronnie Corbett, who was in love with her mother and now falls in love with her. She discovers a plan to sell compromising photographs of military leaders from the United States, USSR, China and Great Britain at an "art auction." She is told not to let the auction take place successfully. The pictures are being sold by Le Chiffre in order to make money to pay back SMERSH after he had embezzled the organisation's money. Mata grabs the 35mm slides, outwits the staff, and throws the photos away. Carlton Towers helps her to escape. Upon hearing the news, Le Chiffre realizes he will have to raise the money by gambling in the casino.

SMERSH (in capitalised letters) is a Soviet counterintelligence agency featured in Ian Flemings early James Bond novels and films as agent 007s nemesis. ...

The Berlin scenery has an anachronistic feel including features germane to both World War II and the Cold War. The set design is a clear parody of German Expressionist cinema. However, a lot of the school's decor and some of the references are to World War I. This is another mixture of time periods, with Mata Hari's teachers looking no older than 50.

Chapter 6 (directors: Joseph McGrath, Robert Parrish)

He survives to face Le Chiffre, who amuses the crowd with elaborate magic tricks and illusions before playing and cheating at Baccarat. Vesper replaces the trick sunglasses Le Chiffre uses to cheat. After losing and having more funds credited to him, Tremble beats Le Chiffre at baccarat and wins the entire pot. While leaving Casino Royale, Vesper is kidnapped, and Tremble chases the kidnappers in a Lotus Formula Three car. Lotus Logo with monogram of its founder, Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based at Hethel, Norfolk, England. ...

Tremble himself is kidnapped and tortured by Le Chiffre. During a hallucinogenic torture sequence, which involves a huge group of bagpipers and Peter O'Toole asking Tremble if he is Richard Burton, a reference to a joke in What's New Pussycat?, Vesper arrives in the hallucination and, with a machine-gun concealed in her bagpipe, slays all the bagpipe players. Tremble alone is still standing. Vesper then faces him and says, "Never trust a rich spy" and fires again. Le Chiffre is killed in a suitably bizarre fashion as a punishment by SMERSH for failing: a gun smashes out of his monitor screen and shoots him in the head.

This is one of the most surrealistic parts of the film, and the Lotus scene was usually cut out when played on network television. Besides inexplicably jumping from Tremble driving off to his being in Le Chiffre's clutches, Vesper's arrival in the hallucination is never explained nor is it made clear if it is a real event. In addition, Tremble is never actually shown being shot or falling down; when the establishing shot is revisited, he simply is not standing in the shot anymore. These discontinuities were the result of Sellers leaving the production before finishing his scenes.^[4]

Chapter 7 (directors: Val Guest, Richard Talmadge)

After Mata Bond is kidnapped from the heart of London, by an agent of SMERSH disguised as a palace guard, on a horse and taken away in a giant flying saucer that lands where Nelson's Column stood before it had been bought by Vesper Lynd, Bond travels with Miss Moneypenny to Casino Royale to rescue her. They discover that the casino is located atop a giant underground base run by Dr. Noah. He turns out to be Bond's weak-kneed nephew, Jimmy Bond (Woody Allen), last seen escaping a firing squad in Central America earlier in the film. Unable to speak in Bond's presence, Dr. Noah's plan is to kill all men over 4 foot 6 inches tall, leaving the diminutive villain himself the "big man" who gets all the girls. Meanwhile, a huge brawl breaks out in the casino involving secret agents, a French Legionnaire (Jean-Paul Belmondo), stereotypical movie cowboys and Indians, George Raft and William Holden.

The Detainer foils Dr. Noah's plans by successfully poisoning him with his own atomic pill. This leads to an explosive finale in which Casino Royale, along with practically all of the characters, is destroyed. As the film ends, the seven Bonds are seen in Heaven as harp playing angels, including Dr.Noah – a fact quickly rectified as the ghost-like angel of Evelyn Tremble still in a kilt, sends Jimmy "to a place where it's terribly...hot."

This version of Casino Royale is notable as being the only Bond film in which Bond dies.

Production

Directors

The production proved to be rather troubled, with five different directors helming different segments of the film. In addition to the credited writers, Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, Val Guest, Ben Hecht, Joseph Heller, Terry Southern, and Billy Wilder are believed to have added to the screenplay. Val Guest was given the responsibility of splicing the various "chapters" together, and was offered the unique title of "Co-ordinating Director" but declined, claiming the chaotic plot would not reflect well on him if he were so credited. His extra credit was labeled "Additional Sequences" instead.^[3] Woody Allen (born Allen Stewart Königsberg on December 1, 1935) is a three-time Academy Award-winning American film director, writer, actor, jazz musician, comedian, and playwright. ...

Budget

The studio approved the film's production budget of $6 million, already quite a large budget in 1966. However, during filming the project ran into several problems and the shoot ran months over schedule, with the costs also running well over. When the film was finally completed it had run twice over its original budget. The final production budget of $12 million made it one of the most expensive films that had been made to that point. The previous official Bond movie, Thunderball, had a budget of $11 million while You Only Live Twice, which was released the same year as Casino Royale, had a budget of $9.5 million. The extremely high budget of "Casino Royale" caused it to earn the reputation as being "a runaway mini-Cleopatra,"^[7] referring to the runaway and out of control costs of the 1963 film Cleopatra. The film was due to be released in time for Christmas 1966 but premiered in April 1967. For other topics with this name, see Thunderball. ... For the Ian Fleming novel, see You Only Live Twice. ...

Feud

The film is notable for the legendary behind-the-scenes drama involving the filming of the segments with Peter Sellers. Supposedly, Sellers felt intimidated by Orson Welles to the extent that, except for a couple of shots, neither were in the studio simultaneously. Other versions of the legend depict the drama stemming from Sellers being slighted, in favour of Welles, by Princess Margaret (whom Sellers knew) during her visit to the set. Welles also insisted on performing magic tricks as Le Chiffre, and the director obliged. Sellers ultimately walked off the film before he completed all his scenes, which is why Tremble is so abruptly captured. Some biographies of Sellers suggest that he took the role of Bond to heart, and was annoyed at the decision to make Casino Royale a comedy as he wanted to play Bond straight; this is illustrated (in somewhat fictionalized form) in the film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, based upon a biography by Roger Lewis, who claims that Sellers kept re-writing and improvising scenes himself to make them play seriously. This would match that the only parts of the film close to the book are the ones featuring Sellers and Welles.^[8] Peter Sellers, CBE (8 September 1925 – 24 July 1980) was a British comedian and actor best known for his three roles in Dr. Strangelove and as Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther films. ...

Missing footage

Eventually, Sellers' involvement with the film ended. Whether or not he was fired or simply walked off is unclear. Given that he often left for days at a time, improvised scenes or re-wrote parts, and given the conflicts between him and Orson Welles, it would hardly be surprising whatever the explanation.^[8] Regardless, not having the principal character of the novel's story available left the film-makers without a beginning or an ending, as well as often missing much of the linking footage to explain the details. The framing device of the rest of the film with David Niven, was invented to salvage the footage, as is clear from watching the film.^[2] This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...

Signs of missing footage from the Sellers segments are evident at various points. The entire Evelyn Tremble kidnap scene is gone - instead, an out-take of Sellers messing about on set with a racing car was substituted. Sellers calls for the car, a la Pink Panther, to chase down Vesper and her kidnappers; the next thing that is shown is Tremble being tortured. Outtakes of Sellers were also used for Tremble's dream sequence (pretending to play the piano on Ursula Andress' torso), in the finale (blowing out the candles whilst in highland dress) and in the end of the film when all the various "James Bond doubles" are together. In the kidnap sequence, Tremble's death is also very abruptly inserted: it consists of pre-existing footage of Sellers being rescued by Vesper, followed by a later-filmed shot of her abruptly deciding to shoot Tremble, followed by a freeze-frame over some of the previous footage of her surrounded by bodies (noticeably a zoom-in on the previous shot). Equally telling is there is never any explanation of why Vesper shoots Tremble.^[2] Ursula Andress (born 19 March 1936) is a Swiss actress and a major sex symbol of the 1960s. ...

So many sequences from the film ended on the cutting room floor that several well-known actors were cut from the movie altogether, including Mona Washbourne and Arthur Mullard.^[2] Mona Washbourne (November 27, 1903 - November 15, 1988) was a British film and stage actress. ... Arthur Mullard (19 September 1912–11 December 1995) was an English comedy actor. ...

Final sequence

Jean Paul Belmondo and George Raft received major billing, even though both actors appear only briefly. Both appear during the climactic brawl at the end, Raft flipping his trademark coin and promptly shooting himself dead with a backwards-firing pistol, while Belmondo appears wearing a fake moustache as the French Foreign Legion officer who requires an English phrase book to say 'ooch!' when he punches people.^[6] At the Intercon science fiction convention held in Slough in 1978, Dave Prowse commented on his part in this film, apparently his big-screen debut. He claimed that he was originally asked to play "Super Pooh", a giant Winnie The Pooh in a superhero costume who attacks Tremble during the Torture Of The Mind sequence. This idea, as with many others in the film's script, was rapidly dropped, and Prowse was re-cast as Frankenstein's Monster for the closing scenes. The final sequence was principally directed by former actor and stuntman Richard Talmadge.^[2] Jean Paul Belmondo Jean-Paul Belmondo (born April 9, 1933) is a French actor. ... Raft in They Drive by Night George Raft (September 26, 1895 - November 24, 1980) was an American film actor most closely identified with his portrayals of gangsters in crime melodramas of the 1930s and 1940s. ...

Rights

Columbia Pictures produced and distributed this version of Casino Royale. In 1997, following the Columbia/MGM/Kevin McClory lawsuit on ownership of the Bond film series, the rights to the film reverted to MGM (whose sister company United Artists co-owns the Bond film franchise) as a condition of the settlement. Years later, as a result of the Sony/Comcast acquisition of MGM, Columbia once again became responsible for the distribution of this 1967 version as well as the co-distribution of the entire Bond series, including the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale^[9] The Columbia Pictures logo from 1993 to the present Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. ...

Reception

The "chaotic" nature of the production was featured heavily in contemporary reviews.

Despite the lukewarm nature of the reviews the pull of the James Bond name was sufficient to make it the third highest grossing movie in North America in 1967 with a gross of $22,744,718 and a worldwide total of $41,744,718 ($252,000,000 adjusted).^[12]

The single most successful element of the film was the song "The Look Of Love", performed by Dusty Springfield and heard during a Peter Sellers segment. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song, it has become a standard for its era, with the biggest-selling version recorded by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 (#4 on the Billboard pop charts in 1968).

One track notable by its omission from the soundtrack is the instrumental piece "Bond Street", heard in the film during the brawl at the military auction and Carlton Towers's and Mata Bond's subsequent escape. It bears a fair resemblance to the non-Casino Royale-related instrumental, "Yakety Sax" (as frequently heard on The Benny Hill Show ). In fact, either accidentally or deliberately, "Bond Street" has been used in other shows to soundtrack Benny Hill-style scenes, such as Stewie Griffin's "sexy parties" in Family Guy. "Bond Street" itself has since appeared on the early-90s easy listening compilation CD, This Is...Easy.
