Welcome to Casino Royale, the ultimate psychedelic secret agent satire! Packed with girls, guns and gags galore, this "very funny picture" (The New Yorker) delivers "laughs all the way"(Cue)! Starring Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Joanna Pettet, Orson Welles, Daliah Lavi, Woody Allen, Deborah Kerr, William Holden and others, and with an original score from Oscar® winner* Burt Bacharach, this groovy spy movie is "even farther out" (LA Herald-Examiner) than all other spoofs combined! British Intelligence is waning in every possible way! When the diabolical SMERSH begins killing off Her Majesty's Secret Service, super-agent James Bond (Niven) recruits six more "James Bonds" to confuse and conquer their enemies. But it won't be easy. They'll have to face an army of irresistibly sexy female operatives, exploding robotic fowl, parachuting Indians and a germ that makes all women beautiful but kills all men over 4'6"! *1981: Original Song (with Carole Bayer Sager, Christopher Cross, Peter Allen), Arthur; 1969: Original Song (Lyrics by Hal David), Score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

60's cool at its finest

While technically a comedy, what sets this film apart is its inherent coolness - its beautiful cinematography, crazy set-pieces, and wonderful moments all work together to...

Well, okay, it's a mess. But it's a beautiful mess. And it stands as one of the finest examples of 1960's cool. When Peter Sellers walks into Ursula Andress's apartment to the strains of Dusty Springfield singing "The Look Of Love," we know we're not in our own world any more; we're in a better one. One that doesn't make sense a lot of the time, but better nevertheless.

This is one of my favorite films, despite its flaws. Again, it's not that the film as a whole stands as a masterpiece of cinema (what do you expect from a spy-film spoof with three or four different directors), but because it's full of so many cool, funny, and great-looking scenes.

(It also has some of the most gorgeous women ever to appear together in one movie. Yowza!)

One of the funniest psychedelic movies ever!

If you are expecting this to be a simple spy vs spy plot, forget about it. Oh yes, it has spies galore, but this hilarious sendup of all things "Spy" must have inspired comedic authors galore. Every time I watch it I catch another sly pun or comment that cracks me up. This movie is very clever and every actor is hilarious in this all-star cast, from David Niven (as the Original, retired James Bond) to his wily and troublesome nephew, Jimmy Bond, played to perfection by Woody Allen. Deborah Kerr plays Mimi, villainess turned nun for her love of Sir James. ("Doodle me, Jamey!") Peter Sellers has fun with many costume changes but does not play the bumbler; rather, he is an expert in Bacarat standing in for 007 to help beat one of the bad guys (played hilariously by Orson Wells) and assisted by the fabulously beaded and feathered Ursula Andress!
The sets are those of dreams and nightmares, with plenty of the mod patterns of the 60's when this movie was produced. If you love off the wall comedy, this one is a keeper. But watch it closely; the jokes range from subtle and dry to outright silly puns and the confusion created is deliberate and fun. Watch for cameos by Peter O'Toole, Humphrey Bogart and many more.

Another fun 60's flick

I think you had to be a late teenager or early 20's and have gone to drive in movies to appreciate these types of movies. They were fun. Not to be academy awards winners. Just silly fun. Music is great and worth getting the movie just for the music
