CASINO ROYALE
August 3, 2019  | By David Bianculli  | 38 comments

Cinemax, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This 1967 spoof is one of the most overlooked parts of the James Bond canon – but because the rights to this early Ian Fleming novel were sold to television in the days of live TV, in 1954 (long before Sean Connery played 007 on film in 1962), Casino Royale could be sold again, and made as a movie, outside the “official” Bond umbrella. And it was. In this uproarious, sexy and very musical spy movie (Burt Bacharach wrote the score), David Niven plays James Bond. But so, before it’s over, does Peter Sellers. And, as Jimmy Bond, Woody Allen. Co-stars include Joanna Pettet, who plays a dazzling Bond girl (pictured) – Mata Bond, to be precise.
