Product Description
Welcome to Casino Royale, the ultimate psychedelic secret agent satire! Packed with girls, guns and gags galore, this "very funny picture" (The New Yorker) delivers "laughs all the way"(Cue)! Starring Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Joanna Pettet, Orson Welles, Daliah Lavi, Woody Allen, Deborah Kerr, William Holden and others, and with an original score from Oscar® winner* Burt Bacharach, this groovy spy movie is "even farther out" (LA Herald-Examiner) than all other spoofs combined! British Intelligence is waning in every possible way! When the diabolical SMERSH begins killing off Her Majesty's Secret Service, super-agent James Bond (Niven) recruits six more "James Bonds" to confuse and conquer their enemies. But it won't be easy. They'll have to face an army of irresistibly sexy female operatives, exploding robotic fowl, parachuting Indians and a germ that makes all women beautiful but kills all men over 4'6"! *1981: Original Song (with Carole Bayer Sager, Christopher Cross, Peter Allen), Arthur; 1969: Original Song (Lyrics by Hal David), Score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Although I didn't watch it in full this time, I've seen it before and even just hearing the music and getting through the intro, it made me smile. It takes you back to the fun times of the 50/60's (I guess), with great music and "mod" clothes, vibe, etc.... A nice trip down memory lane.
I'll have to go back & buy it.
This is about as silly as one could conceive.
It is a comedic tour de force for both David Niven and Deborah Kerr. David Niven is the 'original James Bond'. it is one of Peter Sellers worst performances; he seemed to have a vision of his role which is at odds with the intention of the film (silliness and satire).
Structurally, it's a mess. The best and most coherent part is at the beginning up to the point where Peter Sellers gets involved, then all of the scenes involving David Niven or his character's (and Mata Hari's) daughter, Mata Bond, played by Joanna Pettet.
Woody Allen makes his on screen film debut, but comes across as stiff and uncomfortable, even beyond the parameters of the role. Ursula Andress is convincing as the money obsessed Vesper Lynd. By this point in her career, her English is quite good and she seems comfortable in front of the camera. Barbara Bouchet as Miss Moneypenny (introduced as the original Moneypenny's daughter) is excellent. Orson Wells is a lot of fun as Le Chiffre, a baccarat player who does magic tricks, which apparently irritated Peter Sellers no end. The character Cooper, played by Terence Cooper (no relation?) is very good. There are lots of others interesting performances scattered throughout the film; John Huston, for instance, is terrific as the ill-fated 'M'.
Fortunately, Peter Sellers walked off the picture before he completed his scenes. The downside of that is the fragmentation of the rest of the film.
This is a film that makes most sense to those of us who survived the 1960s. Music is by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Any more, folks are only vaguely aware of Herb Alpert from his music label A&M (Alpert & Moss). He was enormously popular in the mid-ish 1960s. I think I still have a couple of his LPs somewhere.
This is funnier if you have already seen the more contemporary 'Casino Royal'. If you see that film after this one, as I did, you will find it's weird how many parts they have in common. Of course reality is changed to confuse the innocent.
Woody Allen played the role of Jimmy Bond, a bumbling nephew of the original James Bond. His portrayal brought his signature comedic style to the character, featuring self-deprecating humor and witty one-liners. However, the film's fragmented and chaotic narrative can make it challenging for Allen's performance to truly shine.
The 1967 "Casino Royale" is known for its zany and irreverent humor, relying on absurd situations, over-the-top characters, and visual gags. The plot, which involves a plan to bankrupt the world's economy through baccarat, takes a backseat to the film's comedic elements. The film jumps between various storylines and comedic sketches, leading to a disjointed viewing experience.
Despite its star-studded cast, including Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, and Orson Welles, the film struggled to find a cohesive vision due to production issues and multiple directors working on different segments.
While some viewers appreciate the campy and offbeat humor of the 1967 "Casino Royale," others find it confusing and unfocused. It's important to approach this film as a separate entity from the official James Bond franchise and understand its satirical nature. If you enjoy absurdist comedy with a tinge of nostalgia, it may provide a few laughs, but it's not representative of the more serious and action-packed tone of the official Bond films.
