    Well, I was going to do a comments watch on one of my all time favourites 'The Living Daylights', but I didnt want to interrupt it making txts, so I just watched it ( and enjoyed immensely!)
    However, I purchased recently the bluray of Casino Royale (1967) and lo and behold, didnt realise the 1954 version was part of the extras, and since I only ever saw it once... here we go!

    Casino Royale(1954)
    The MGM Logo does look good in b+w, as it did in CR '06!
    Love the opening intro talking about the baccarat shoe!

    The first 007, namely Barry Nelson, is straight into the action, getting shot at entering Casino Royale!

    Nelson looks quite shifty, not crazy about the tux!

    "Arent you the fella that was shot?"
    "No, I'm the fella that was missed!"
    Great line

    "LeChiffre is the toad like creature!" Leiter points him out this way

    Nelson is rather fidgetty, not as cool as he thinks!

    He seems quite tall, Nelson, and the teddy boy haircut makes him taller!!

    Every time I hear Lorre speak, am reminded of Peter Sellers funny impression of him "my arm, my arm, you're breaking my arm!"

    Leiter is quick thinking getting away with not handing over the money to that thug!

    Lots of tracking shots. The Director is trying to keep it interesting! He doesn't need to, its working quite well. Am enjoying this

    Lorre didnt adopt LeChiffres inhaler, but love the way he just has an unlit cigarette hang from his lip!
