    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This "Casino Royale" television movie was lost for twenty-seven years until it resurfaced in 1981 when movie collector and airlines executive Jim Shoenberger discovered a 16mm kinescope print of it amongst some old cans of film. The copies were labelled "Casino Royale" and he thought they were the Casino Royale (1967) James Bond parody. When he realized they were black-and-white prints, he played the reels out of curiosity as the 1967 spoof was a color movie. The 1954 television movie was thence rediscovered and it was screened in a theater, shown on TBS, and released on videocassette. It is now available on DVD.
    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      Clarence Leiter: Aren't you the fellow who was shot?

      James Bond: No, I'm the fellow who was missed.

    • Alternate versions
      Originally broadcast as an episode of "Climax!" (1954). Most prints retain the original Climax opening credits. The DVD release (as a bonus on the DVD for Casino Royale (1967) has added the MGM lion logo to reflect the fact the production is now owned by MGM.

    Golden Age Television

    Not only is this a fairly faithful adaption of Ian Fleming's original Bond story, but it's an excellent example of early, live television - dropped lines, missed cue's, miss-timed squibs and sound effects... the whole 9 yards.

    Peter Lorrie is amazing as LeChiffre.

    You can find this gem on the 2002 DVD release of "Casino Royale ('67)"
