The Bacharach score and Herb Alpert open and closing sequences are memorable. Allen is always funny, and Welles does a pretty good turn as le Chiffre. When Andress is not speaking, as in the 'Look of Love' sequence or in Seller's 'shampoo' dream she's truly breathtaking. Like _What's New Pussycat_ they did manage to corral some of the most beautiful women of the time together in the same film.

The film is certainly not without its merits. When they run out of story, pie fights emerge, or fusillades of bullets, or tremendous explosions. Casino Royale, was published in the United Kingdom in 1953 (and in the United States in 1954), Fleming always envisioned a movie version of 007.

The story lacks even a real protagonist Niven and Sellers trade places in that role. It seems impossible to create a successful film with 5 directors and 10 writers (not including Ian Fleming, but including Ben Hecht, Joseph Heller, Terry Southern and Billy Wilder !!). However, _Casino_ is simply over the top at being over the top. After copying to the same file location, the movie might play alongside the subtitles without any further Slotum. So I am sucker for the comedy epic/ celebrity ensemble. Among other things, it was a reminder of Moores ability to make the character his very own, setting. Location: Deltin Royale Casino is located. I should confess that as a young kid I did love the film, just as I loved _What's new Pussycat_, and when I got a little older I became a guilty admirer of _The Blues Brothers_ and _1941_. Occasional fun for the 60's lover, but completely incoherent as entertainment.
