    Is that Aiden Turner?

    Very interesting, @Gerard. The film looks crazy, crazy, crazy. It's also experiencing some sort of pop culture underground resurgent celebration, witness the image on the lower right and its date from last week (repeated under the spoiler tag).

    John Stamos and Vanity at the film's afterparty in 1985
    "I just thought, 'I'm done with TV — I’m going to be a movie star!' And then I did that piece of sh**," says the 'Grandfathered' star of the campfest that saw him play a young James Bond against an "evil hermaphrodite" played by the Kiss bassist.

    Casino Royale, Ian Fleming, 1953.
    Chapter 1 - The Secret Agent
    The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul erosion produced by high gambling — a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension — becomes unbearable and the senses awake and revolt from it.

    James Bond suddenly knew that he was tired. He always knew when his body or his mind had had enough and he always acted on the knowledge. This helped him to avoid staleness and the sensual bluntness that breeds mistakes.

    He shifted himself unobtrusively away from the roulette he had been playing and went to stand for a moment at the brass rail which surrounded breast high the top table in the salle privée.

    Chapter 7 - Rouge et Noir
    Bond was determined to be completely fit and relaxed for a gambling session which might last most of the night. He ordered a masseur for three o'clock. After the remains of his luncheon had been removed, he sat at his window gazing out to sea until there came a knock on the door as the masseur, a Swede, presented himself.

    Silently he got to work on Bond from his feet to his neck, melting the tensions in his body and calming his still twanging nerves. Even the long purpling bruises down Bond's left shoulder and side ceased to throb, and when the Swede had gone Bond fell into a dreamless sleep.

    He awoke in the evening completely refreshed.

    After a cold shower, Bond walked over to the Casino. Since the night before he had lost the mood of the tables. He needed to re establish that focus which is half mathematical and half intuitive and which, with a slow pulse and a sanguine temperament, Bond knew to be the essential equipment of any gambler who was set on winning.

    Casino Royale, Ian Fleming, 1953.
    Chapter 14 - La Vie en Rose?
    The entrance to the Roi Galant was a seven foot golden picture frame which had once, perhaps, enclosed the vast portrait of a noble European. It was in a discreet corner of the 'kitchen' — the public roulette and boule room, where several tables were still busy. As Bond took Vesper's arm and led her over the gilded step, he fought back a hankering to borrow some money from the caisse and plaster maximums over the nearest table. But he knew that this would be a brash and cheap gesture pour épater la bourgeoisie. Whether he won or lost, it would be a kick in the teeth to the luck which had been given him.

    The night club was small and dark, lit only by candles in gilded candelabra whose warm light was repeated in wall mirrors set in more gold picture frames. The walls were covered in dark red satin and the chairs and banquettes in matching red plush. In the far corner, a trio, consisting of a piano, an electric guitar and drums, was playing 'La Vie en Rose' with muted sweetness. Seduction dripped on the quietly throbbing air. It seemed to Bond that every couple must be touching with passion under the tables.

    They were given a corner table near the door. Bond ordered a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and scrambled eggs and bacon.

    They were talking on the threshold of Vesper's room. When the proprietor left them, Bond pushed her inside and closed the door. Then he put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her on both cheeks.

    'This is heaven,' he said.

    Then he saw that her eyes were shining. Her hands came up and rested on his forearms. He stepped right up against her and his arms dropped round her waist. Her head went back and her mouth opened beneath his.

    'My darling,' he said. He plunged his mouth down on to hers, forcing her teeth apart with his tongue and feeling her own tongue working at first shyly then more passionately. He slipped his hands down to her swelling buttocks and gripped them fiercely, pressing the centres of their bodies together. Panting, she slipped her mouth away from his and they clung together while he rubbed his cheek against hers and felt her hard breasts pressing into him. Then he reached up and seized her hair and bent her head back until he could kiss her again. She pushed him away and sank back exhausted on to the bed. For a moment they looked at each other hungrily.

    'I'm sorry, Vesper,' he said. 'I didn't mean to then.'

    She shook her head, dumb with the storm which had passed through her.

    Chapter 14 - Chapter 24 - Fruit Défendu
    When he got back to his room he was touched to find all his belongings put away and in the bathroom his toothbrush and shaving things neatly arranged at one end of the glass shelf over the wash basin. At the other end was Vesper's toothbrush and one or two small bottles and a jar of face cream.

    He glanced at the bottles and was surprised to see that one contained nembutal sleeping pills. Perhaps her nerves had been more shaken by the events at the villa than he had imagined.

    The bath had been filled for him and there was a new flask of some expensive pine bath essence on a chair beside it with his towel.
    'Vesper,' he called.

    'Yes?'

    'You really are the limit. You make me feel like an expensive gigolo.'
    Chapter 22 - The Hastening Saloon
    It was true that he seemed to glance quickly towards them, but above them in the hedge there was a gaily painted sign pointing down the lane and announcing 'L'Auberge du Fruit Défendu, crustaces, fritures'. It was obvious to Bond that it was this that had caught the driver's eye.

    As the rattle of the car's exhaust diminished down the road, Vesper sank back into her corner. Her face was pale.

    'He looked at us,' she said, 'I told you so. I knew we were being followed. Now they know where we are.'

    Bond could not contain his impatience. 'Bunkum,' he said. 'He was looking at that sign.' He pointed it out to Vesper.

    Casino Royale, Ian Fleming, 1953.
    Chapter 25 - 'Black-Patch'

    ...
    When the man had turned his face towards them, Bond noticed that he had a black patch over one eye. It was not tied with a tape across the eye, but screwed in like a monocle. Otherwise he seemed a friendly middle aged man, with dark brown hair brushed straight back, and, as Bond had seen while he was talking to the patron, particularly large, white teeth.
    He turned back to Vesper. 'Really, darling. He looks very innocent. Are you sure he's the same man? We can't expect to have this place entirely to ourselves.'

    ...
    A few minutes later the man asked for the bill, paid it and left. Bond heard the Peugeot start up and soon the noise of its exhaust had disappeared in the direction of the road to Royale.

    When the patron came back to his table, Bond explained that Madame had unfortunately a slight touch of sunstroke. After the patron had expressed his regret and enlarged on the dangers of going out of doors in almost any weather, Bond casually asked about the other customer. 'He reminds me of a friend who also lost an eye. They wear similar black patches.'

    The patron answered that the man was a stranger. He had been pleased with his lunch and had said that he would be passing that way again in a day or two and would take another meal at the auberge. Apparently he was Swiss, which could also be seen from his accent. He was a traveller in watches. It was shocking to have only one eye. The strain of keeping that patch in place all day long. He supposed one got used to it.

    'It is indeed very sad,' said Bond. 'You also have been unlucky,' he gestured to the proprietor's empty sleeve. 'I myself was very fortunate.'

    Chapter 8 - Fancy Cover
    It was essential to find out as much as possible about Blofeld, his activities and his associates, in order to proceed with planning the next step, his abduction from Switzerland. Physical action might not be necessary. Bond might be able to trick the man into a visit to Germany, as a result of a report which Sable Basilisk had prepared of certain Blofeld family documents at the Augsburg Zentral Archiv, which would need Blofeld's personal identification. Security precautions would include keeping Station Z completely in the dark about Bond's mission to Switzerland and a closure of the 'Bedlam' file at Headquarters which would be announced in the routine 'Orders of the Day'. Instead, a new code-word for the operation, known only to an essential handful of senior officers, would be issued. It would be 'CORONA'.

    Casino Royale, Ian Fleming, 1953.
    Chapter 22 - Sleep Well, My Darling
    She examined every line on his face as if she was seeing him for the first time. Then she reached up and put an arm round his neck. Her deep blue eyes were swimming with tears as she drew his head slowly towards her and kissed him gently on the lips. Then she let him go and turned off the light.

    'Good night, my dearest love,' she said.

    Bond bent and kissed her. He tasted the tears on her neck.

    He went to the door and looked back.

    'Sleep well, my darling,' he said. 'Don't worry, everything's all right now.'

    He closed the door softly and walked to his room with a full heart.

    Good one, @MaxCasino. I'm recalling "The Silver Phantom" train line in Live and Let Die, running from Pennsylvania Station to St. Petersburg, Florida.

    The title is far better than the movie, I'll give you that. There's something vaguely Bondian about it.

    As a title it does sort of suggest there is no menace though: like ‘phantom pregnancy’! :D

    Don't know, I always found the title ominous and quite "strong". The best thing about the movie in fact.
