    I will watch CR67 again, probably as early as tonight.

    It may well become my future regular New Year's Eve movie anyway.

    I'm gonna dissect this film from the first frame to the last in my future viewings. There is SO MUCH to analyze and discover.

    Discovering this film is like a fantastical dream come true.

    Niven and Sellers. I love them.

    The Party and A Shot In The Dark are favorites of mine. So is The Pink Panther.
    Kerr and Bisset....seriously....HOW did they get all those stars, not to mention the crazy "you blink and miss it appearances" by Peter O'Toole and Jean-Paul Belmondo amongst others I guess.

    I'll work for three days from Wednesday to Friday and then I will do something I've never done before. I'll spend money on things.
    Getting my own iTunes account and buy 20 of my favorite films.

    That is amazing. I spotted so many past and future Bond stars in CR67 but her I didn't see!

    @ToTheRight
    How's this for controversy. Ursula is a better Vesper than Eva Green, character wise.
    I love Eva Green though, totally.
    And another controversy: Ursula is better in CR67 than in DN. Just so.

    Difficult to argue with that. I may be with you there. Ursula is certainly more of a legend than Eva Green, and probably has the stronger character. Neither, I don't feel really capture the Vesper on the novel. But for this film, that isn't the point. And Ursula is marvelous. I think she looks great here, and even better than in DN.

    I will say, though that Peter Lorre is my favorite Le Chiffre my quite a margin. Then Orson Welles and Mads (who I think was brilliant in the 06 CR).
    Having an icon such as Welles here was a stroke of genius. Both he and Lorre were legends.

    I love Seller's "Bond James Bond".

    Seriously, Sellers is such a suave Bond, nerd-y but suave.

    He and Vesper in that insane sofa landscape may just be my favorite bit of the film.

    He's instantly likable. You kind of want him to succeed as Bond after all that training.

    So apparently Sellers and Welles did not get along and the baccarat scene was shot on different days so the actors didn't have to work together. That makes this scene even funnier.

    The magic act is maybe the only thing in the film I didn't like.
    Welles is overdoing it badly.

    I wonder had Humphrey Bogart been alive in 1967, would John Huston have had a part for him in this?

    Yeah everyone dies and goes to Heaven except Allen who goes to Hell. Hilarious! I showed that ending to a friend who had never seen the film and he laughed his a$$ off.

    I must say two of my pet peeves on the 06 CR was they didn't play Baccarat and the use of a rope rather than a carpet beater.

    Texas Hold 'em dates the film as it was certainly a hip mid 00's trend. Not using a carpet beater was sacrilege, IMO. Here it is in all it's glory.

    Yes the Baccarat thing bugs me quite a bit now, even if I haven't read the novel.
    Shame on EoN.

    Bond should be cool, never hip. He should be timeless, never trendy.

    With exceptions I'd say but overall yes to that statement.
