Has anyone seen the 67' version of Casino Royale? Some spoilers maybe

Its on one of the streaming sites, so I decided to watch it. Its one of the few bonds that wasnt made by MGM, so no bond theme music, or actors that are known. Most of it played like a serious movie, but the ending was the wonkiest most "get smart" crap ive ever seen.
I will say, I loved that since it wasnt MGM and they couldnt get Connery, they made a point to bring Bond out of retirement and have him bitch about the guy they "named 007 who drank and slept with too many women, ruining his good moral name" Thought that was pretty creative.
Yall should watch it though if you get a chance, especially bond fans. Thought it was different.

I am a huge Bond fan (judge away) and "David Niven" is my gotcha answer to anyone who claims to be a fan. The question is: Name all the actors who played Bond?

It's one of my favorite films. It's a great hodgepodge of directors and actors. It's Austin Powers except it's authentic 60's.
The most beautiful women (number and quality) of any Bond film.
The Burt Bacharach soundtrack stands up to or exceeds any other Bond soundtrack. In the 70's, it was one of the most sought after vinyl albums.
Just don't go into it expecting any type of traditional bond film. Some of the main stars have zero interaction. It's just 60's gags and insanity for fun's sake.

is this going to be a gotcha because of the 2-part made-for-tv bond movie where telly savalis was the bad guy?
i remember as a kid i would read the TV guides at the checkout just to see if any bond movies were going to be playing on the local networks.
good times waiting 2 weeks for 'goldfinger' to air on ABC.

What exactly makes it a "67 foot version" of Casino Royale?

No such thing.
Telly Savalas played Blofeld in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", with Australian George Lazenby playing James Bond (his one and only time; he stupidly quit afterwards).
It was a theatrical release by EON/United Artists, not a 2-part made for TV movie.

Just checking in to say that Timothy Dalton never gets the credit he deserves for his take on Bond.

It was a hell of a swing from Roger Moore, who was certainly the campiest one, to Dalton, who was certainly the grimmest one.
Doesn’t help that Dalton was a last minute fill-in after Pierce Brosnan got pulled back to do another season of Remington Steele.

This is the truth. He's honestly probably the closest to the book Bond as well.

One of my favorite Bond movies (Her Majesty's Secret Service) at the time and it was the movie that allowed Diana Rigg to quit her day job with The Avengers.
She was absolutely beautiful back then but could give zero fricks and smoked and drank like a New York duck hooer.
Casino Royale sucked though.

Barry Nelson as Bond. Peter Lorre is a great villain.
And now the tough one:
Bob Holness, who played Bond in Moonraker for South African radio (1956). The program itself is unfortunately lost.

There are occasional hints of the book Bond throughout the series: "You've had your six" in Dr. No, Moore getting revenge for the murder of an agent in (IIRC) For Your Eyes Only.
However from the beginning the producers intended to make the tone lighter than the novels, which is where all the jokes ("She's had her kicks") come from.

I think it's awful and borderline unwatchable.

The '67 version is a mess b/c Peters Sellers quit/was fired during filming, and Niven was brought in while the script was rewritten to include as much Sellers footage as possible.
The highlights are Woody Allen's scenes (he wrote most of his lines) and the credits, with music by Bacharach and animation by Richard Williams.

It’s definitely an acquired taste. Think of if as more of a classic mid-60s big budget farce than a Bond film and you’ll enjoy it more.

and of course Prime took it off tonight

I’ve long held the belief that T-Dalt was the best Bond. People scoff at that, but I think most people just dismiss him because he was only in 2 movies.
He’s the only classically-trained Shakespearean actor to ever portray Bond. His take is gritty and grim and serious, and it certainly would be well-received in today’s era. Imagine a Sicario-like Bond film with Timothy Dalton. It was out of place and ahead of its time for the 80s - although both Living Daylights and License to Kill are SOLID Bond movies. He’s definitely the most underrated Bond.

He was boring. Brought little depth and his acting was flat.
Craig comes the closest to the book bonds.

Dalton just ruined it for me because in everything after he seemed to play a similar character, even in his kids movies.
Like that terrible bugs and daffy movie, the rocketeer. He plays the same part.
Bronson is my favorite, they definitely played up his drinking and sex, but his facial expressions and line delivery are so good
