Average rating: Stars

Bond with a hand buzzer

This is by no means the typical Bond, James Bond movie. Even though it is only in name the same as an Ian Fleming book, it is a zany comedy. It is an absolute riot to watch. The cast includes such notables as David Niven, Peter Sellers, and Woody Allen. Fans of the off the wall comedies of the Sixties and Seventies should love it. In fact fans of the Austin Powers movies should enjoy it too. A nice mixture of comedy and action. Will the real James Bond please stand up? Good quality DVD but nothing special about extras. Well worth the price. A must have for any fan of the James Bond movies.

Casino Royale - Peter Sellers

Either You "Get It" or you DON'T

This is true 1960's brilliance. Yes, it is crazy, hard to follow, but wasn't the 60's? It is a Psychedelic Trip into an alternate 007 world. But the BIG deal about this film is this: Every good idea that Michael Myers ever had in his Austin Powers films was lifted out of this wonderful parade of sound and vision. Like 60's psychedelia, don't try to analyze it, just experience it.

Peter Sellers - Casino Royale

Best BOND Movie Ever! "You're joke-shop spies."

"The one & only, original, James Bond." I've been waiting since I first seen this on Cable for the DVD and it didn't disappoint. I was already a 5-star fan before, but what makes this dvd great are the special features. For one I learned that Peter Sellers got fired for not showing up for one take that included scores of extras. I think he said he was ill. Also, Orson Welles didn't like him & was loathed to work with him. Despite this, it's interesting that Sellers is credited as the star of the show. They also show the t.v. version which makes the feature seem as a work of high art.

Last, but not least, if one wonders about all those hot femmes as bit players, we're told that the studio was made in the London's Playboy Club. When one considers the bond catalog, its highs & lows, Casino Royale has to be near, if not the, top!
