1967- Casino Royale Reaction! - Google Drive

Comments

Ryan

This movie had an...interesting production history. Through some weird legal stuff I've never quite understood, the first Bond novel Casino Royale wasn't included in Eon's purchase of the film rights, and was instead snatched up by producer Charles K. Feldman in the hopes of launching his own Bond series to compete with them. But then the first few Connery films were so successful that he got cold feet and decided to do a parody film instead. Unfortunately, no one told the intended lead star Peter Sellers, who'd grown tired of just being a comedy actor and wanted to do something serious (the film is actually one of the few places you can hear his natural speaking voice because of this), and he made no effort to hide his unhappiness on set. Eventually this infected a lot of other people on the crew, and ultimately five different directors were needed to film different portions of the film, none of them working with a complete script. The result was exactly like you'd think, a chaotic Frankenstein's monster of a film with absolutely no pace or flow, with characters and plot threads appearing and disappearing at random (most obviously Sellers' character headed off to chase LeChiffre, and then cutting immediately to him already captured). At least Burt Bacarach's theme song is pretty darn catchy.

:-o OMG, you actually reacted to Casino Royale. You recovered yet? Wow. This is going to be ... interesting. Surprised it took you nearly 20 mins to get to 'What the fuck am I watching?" - and to think - that first quarter of the movie is the coherent bit.

Fleming sold the TV and Film rights as soon as his (first) novel was published. It was actually adapted into a one-off Television Special in 1954,with Barry Nelson as James Bond. When EON Productions bought the rights to the Bond series,this one (because Fleming had already sold it) was unavailable. (Eventually the rights became available - due to very complicated reasons - and EON made their own version in 2006). Nonetheless,under the circumstances,it's difficult to argue that it's NOT canon! It features the usual characters;and even contains elements of Fleming's plot. I think it's because its a slapstick comedy;and therefore doesn't show the character sufficient respect. After all,Never Say Never Again is now generally regarded as canon (EON acquired it for themselves a few years ago);and will even be included with the next Bond Box-set! I can't ever see the same thing happening to this movie, though :)

Ive just watched part 1 and loving your reaction. Its my favourite bond film, it is a comedy but in a lot of ways it takes itself just as serious as some of the others, I wont spoil anything but gadgets seducing women over the top story lines. It has a stella cast and David Niven should have made a proper serious bond film he was born to do it! You can see specific scenes which inspired Austin Powers inc the soundtrack which is amazing xx

I could be wrong, but based on her reaction to Goldfinger, I don't think Jess has seen Austin Powers - or, if she has, remembers little. I'd love to wrap up this series of movies with a reaction to that - but I think it really would only be worth it if she'd seen You Only Live Twice's Blofelt.

i actually suggested it for the second movie reaction and it has currently come second both this and last month so it will be inevitable and the first one parodies goldfinger a lot so is perfect
