**1/2. I certainly missed a lot of references to the James Bond films shot before Casino Royale but I liked the homage to The Wizard of Oz and to the German expressionist films of the 20's in the Berlin scene. Good entertaining value for a film that hopefully allowed John Huston to pay his taxes. Deborah Kerr is also great as the nymphomaniac Lady Fiona McTarry. Recommended.

A strange but incredibly entertaining mess of a movie. It's very uneven - no surprise given its troubled production which resulted in five directors - but several sequences achieve an inspired ridiculousness. A top-notch all-star cast and a great over the top score by Burt Bacharach.

A movie that begins awful and ends up being a masterpiece of random-ness, stared cast and cameo appearances. Very funny.

Think aboot it; the 60's Royale came out at a time before we had Austin Powers. It's surprisingly funny, and besides, there are five directors tackling seven James Bonds, so it's good for its time.
