The filmmakers behind the scenes started agree, and screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade began writing a script for Casino Royale with Brosnan still in mind, hoping to return the character to his roots. However, Eon decided to take the script and use it as a total reboot for the Bond franchise.

*Production Design: Michael Stringer Peter Sellers was well known for portrayingvarious parts. On the left he mimics a Cary Grant-like pose as James Bond. On the right, he dresses up as artist Toulouse-Lautrec.
McGrath was a Scottish television director andworked with Sellers on shows such as Tempo. Sellers convinced Feldmanthat McGrath was the right choice to direct the film. According to Sellers’biographer, Roger Lewis, McGrath was chosen because Sellers wanted to‘recreate the happy anarchy of his early days on TV’.
In the summer of 1965, Feldman had approachedDavid Niven to play the part of Sir James Bond. After reading the script atFeldman’s home and than witnessing it being locked in a private safe, Nivenagreed to play the part that would have him presiding over the Secret Servicewhile observing a multitude of James Bonds fighting against Smersh.
The cast grew on a daily basis and began toresemble a British version of the film comedy, It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad,World. Ursula Andress is added to the film in the role of Vesper Lyndas well as Orson Welles in the part of Le Chiffre. Followed by Daliah Lavi,William Holden, Charles Boyer, Kurt Kaznar, Jacqueline Bisset, George Raft,Jean-Paul Belmondo, Joanna Pettet, Barbara Bouchet, Angela Scholar, Anna Quayle,Ronnie Corbett, Bernard Cribbins, Tracy Reed, Geoffrey Bayldon, John Wells,Duncan Macrae, Graham Stark, Burt Kwouk, Vladek Sheybal, and Peter O’ Toole. On January 11, 1966, Casino Royale began filming atShepperton Studios, United Kingdom.
From Here On, All Hell Broke Loose
’There’s been nothing like this sinceMichael Todd’s ‘Around the World in 80 Days’,’ said one man onthe set. A comment that referred to the large scale production, with an all starcast including David Niven from ten years before. The only difference betweenthe two films would be the adaptations from their original sources. JulesVerne’s novel was faithfully recreated but Casino Royale most likelyhad the late Ian Fleming rolling in his grave. Feldman was aiming to make thebiggest, star-studded, comedy in history and he began it by flooding the screenwith the world’s most beautiful women.Joanna Pettet ended up portraying the sexydaughter, Mata Bond.’No background dogs in mypicture,’ barked an order from Feldman. ’Get only real beauties.’And with that literally hundreds of Britain’s finest auditioned to play FangGirls, Guard Girls, Casino Girls, Karate Girls, and 12 daughters of ‘M’, allbetween the ages of 16 and 18.
There was a filing system to help avert numbness:Type ‘A’: must have first, personality; second figure; third looks. Type‘B’: first, looks; second, figure; third, no personality. Type ‘C’:those who just get by on all three. Whatever the system, Casino Royalecertainly has the largest of any cast of beautiful women.Three famous Bond girls. Caroline (TheSpy Who Love Me) Munro, Jacqueline (The Deep)Bisset, and Angela (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service) Scoular.
Perhaps the biggest problem behind the scenes wasPeter Sellers. At the time he was married to Britt Ekland, who would later playMary Goodnight in the 1974 Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Sellers marriage was on the rocks and he was chasing after her every weekend inorder to save it. He refused to listen to any production assistant who wasin-charge of getting him to the set and reportedly was late to the set daily orwould not arrive at all.
Sellers ego would be his Achilles heel, he wouldreally be annoyed if people did not pay attention to his needs as an actor. Onone occasion, Leo Jaffe, the executive vice president of Columbia, visited theset and made a mistake by thinking Woody Allen was Peter Sellers. ’When youput glasses on them,’ said Feldman, ’they do sort of look alike.’Sellers was not amused over this mistake.
During the baccarat scene long time Seller’sfriend, Princess Margaret, visited the set and rushed to meet Orson Welles.Reportedly ignoring Sellers. Welles, who played the part of Le Chiffre, gave asarcastic comment to Sellers concerning his tardiness and causing the film to goover budget. This made Sellers so irate that he insisted that his scenes withWelles be done with a stand-in. Because of this on-set rivalry only one shot isshown during the entire scene with both Sellers and Welles in the same frame.Orson Welles as Citizen Le Chiffre.
Sellers eventually lashed out against his longtime friend Joseph McGrath and literally disappeared for weeks forcing theproduction to come to a halt. According to Val Guest, Feldman was furious anddecided to terminate Sellers contract, firing him from the picture. Thenhe put plan two into operation and began rewrites and building of newer sets atPinewood Studios and Elstree Studios. Because of Sellers tantrums, Feldmanradically altered Royale’s storyline. This left McGrath irritable and forcedFeldman to hire four more directors, Val Guest, Ken (Chitty Chitty, Bang, Bang)Hughes, Robert Parrish, and John (The Maltese Falcon) Huston. RichardLester was also asked to join but turn down the offer because he was friendswith both Sellers and McGrath. The film would now be directed in four parts’Our concept for this film includes not only multiple stars, but alsomultiple directors,’ said Feldman in the March 2, 1966 edition of Variety.
Feldman also hired a small army of writers to‘juice up’ the script. Famous writers and directors such as Billy Wilder,Joseph Heller, Terry Southern, and Michael Sayers added their inputs. Thesituation was too much for McGrath. He left the unfinished film after hecompleted his contractual agreement.
Sellers eventually came back to film other scenes,but kept calling his friend McGrath and begging him to return. ’Please comeback! Charlie will give you a Rolls Royce if you come back. He gave me one!’After a while, Feldman did call McGrath and offered him a Rolls Royce if hewould return. McGrath did not. Two years later, co-producer Jerry Bresler droveup to McGrath in a white Rolls Royce and said, ’I’m driving the carCharlie Feldman was going to give to you if you came back to the movie.’
Biblical Proportions
John Huston was fresh off of finishing the epicfilm The Bible before he was invited to direct a sequence of Royale.He was asked how did he get from King James to Ian Fleming?
’Well, it was broached to me as a lark,which it was. I said, I’ll do it if you let me write my segment of the pictureand shoot it my way.’ (New York Times interview June 26, 1966)
Huston went on to say that Robert Morley wasfirst asked to play the part of ‘M’ but was too busy. Feldman then offeredHuston a painting if he would play the part, so he did, bald and with a Guardsmustache. However, he preferred to be paid not by a painting but by a Greekbronze head, which he recently fallen for. Ironically, it turned out to beworthless.
Huston directed his scenes with David Niven atPinewood Studios under the false working title ’The David Niven Story’.Unfortunately, TIME magazine exposed the ruse and wrote, ’Casino Royale isshooting there and from the looks of what’s happening, shooting is too goodfor it.’John Huston directing a scene at M’s castleand Deborah Kerr as a converted double agent.
Actress Deborah Kerr found herself in Royaleby accident. She dropped by to visit her friend, John Huston, and was given achoice guest part that grew from ten days into two months of work. She purchaseda new ‘luxury’ swimming pool she later dubbed ‘The Charles K. FeldmanMemorial Swimming Pool’. Miss Kerr played the part of double agent Mimi andpretended to be the late ‘M’s widow Lady Fiona McTarry. Her part became sooutrageous that in the end she had converted to being a Catholic nun.
’She’s played nuns so often she takes hernun kit everywhere she goes,’ said Julie Harris, the film’s fashiondesigner.Watch Casino Royale 1967
Ms. Harris, one of the many unsung heroesbehind-the-scenes, added that Ursula Andress, who plays Vesper Lynd, was excitedabout a circus scene where she would be riding atop an elephant. She had Harriscreate a shocking pink Elephant Boy outfit with pink-blue feathers.Peter Sellers changed the scene where he andUrsula Andress are riding an elephant and made it into a dream sequence with 104kilted Highlanders. The Elephant Boy costume can be seen worn by Ursula inthe spy control room.
Unfortunately, Peter Sellers had one of hisnightly prophetical dreams where his mother was saying not to do the scenebecause it was dangerous. So the circus scene went away and 104 kiltedHighlanders was born. Ursula was so upset that Feldman created another scenewhere she could wear the Elephant Boy outfit while prancing around her spycontrol room with David Niven. Thus the line from a curious Sir James, ’Whydon’t you wear that on the street?’ ’People might stare,’ saysVesper.
An expensive solution, but one must feel sorryfor the elephant owner when he arrived with his five-toed pachyderm at theShepperton Studio gates, only to be told from a disgruntled security guard thathe was at the wrong studio.
Director Robert Parrish replaced McGrath and wasperplexed when he was greeted with a huge, bare, white, cylindrical set. ’There was nothing in the script to indicate what it was for. I didn’tknow what to do with it and for a few days I just hoped it would go away. Butthen Peter came up with his dream sequence and those damn pipers.’ (NewYork Times interview May 22, 1966)
One of those pipers was actor Peter O’Toole.Feldman paid him a case of champagne for his brief cameo role.
Director Val Guest said in a Scarlet Streetinterview, ’I went on under contract for eight weeks, and I was still undercontract nine months later. Feldman was a madman. There were days when you couldhug him, and then other days when you could throttle him!’
Guest was in charge of directing the scenes withWoody Allen as the evil Dr. Noah. Allen was quoted as saying he would have toleave in the middle of a sentence if this film went on much longer. He had beenin London for months waiting and doing nothing except writing a Broadway play (Don’tDrink the Water), a screenplay (Take the Money and Run), and winningat poker. By the time he actually started work he was on overtime.Woody Allen as Dr. Noah with his GuardGirls.
’My part has been steadily changed, even upto two days ago,’ Allen explained in the November 15, 1966 LOOK magazine.’No matter what anybody brought in to be read at story conferences, theirmaterial was generally received all the way from enthusiastic to wildlyenthusiastic. Then this stuff was never heard from again, in any form whatever.’Allen, who wrote most of his scenes, claimed he had a theory that there was anunseen house writer chained in Feldman’s dungeon. Allen demanded a signedconfession from Feldman that he, Woody, did none of the writing, although hetried.
’Think of the old pyramid builders,’said Allen, ’and you have some idea of what Charlie Feldman is like, lavishin the Egyptian tradition of lavish.’
Director Ken Hughes, who directed the CubbyBroccoli film The Trials of Oscar Wilde, was the last director hired.When he showed up on his first day he was surprised to see that the ArtDepartment had built a $30,000 replica of the Taj Mahal. ’I just wanted asimple backdrop to suggest a temple where Joanna Pettet does her shimmy with allthese swinging monks,’ he said. ’Instead, they went and built thisbehind my back. I won’t use it. Take good care of old Ken, Feldman said.’Top Left: Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie’sdaughter) and Richard Talmadge can be seen as the Keystone Cops. Top Right:Moneypenny and Sir James sneak around Dr. Noah’s island hideout from thisdeleted scene. Bottom: Another deleted scene finds two loversembraced during the final battle scene in Casino Royale (Photos courtesyPlayboy).
Legendary stuntman and director Richard Talmadge,was in charge of the second unit. His contribution to the film is the finalchaotic battle scene inside Casino Royale. ’Let’s blow up the wholepicture,’ Talmadge said to LOOK magazine. Dubbed Custer’s Last Stand itincluded U.S. Calvary and American Indians colliding with Smersh’s croupiersin a scene that looked as if it had been lifted from an old silent Keystone Copfilm. The entire scene took six weeks to film and featured 200 actors and extras.
Insurance firm, Lloyds of London, was so worriedabout this scene that they suspended the insurance during this portion of thefilm. The main reason was due to Talmadge, who had directed the train wreakscene in How the West Was Won, when one of the stuntmen was crushed underfallen timber. Feldman was gambling on Talmadge’s professionalism and said,’If he had lost, some widows might have owned his picture.
With all the mayhem, Feldman’s health began towane. He suffered a heart attack during the production, which he blamed onSellers. ’I’d be in my grave if I ever started anything like this again.Everyday a new crises with people who have reached a certain point, good or bad,in their careers. Stars are no real insurance for the success of a picture, youknow, except possible for the performance they give. In my grave. . .’
Royale Pain
Columbia Pictures announced that Casino Royalewould open no sooner than Christmas 1966. This would give United Artists’next Bond entry You Only Live Twice some breathing room with six monthsbetween pictures and no competition from a first run film. This probably gavesome solace to producer Cubby Broccoli, who faced competition in another formafter releasing his Oscar Wilde film in 1960 one week after Gregory Ratoff’sversion. Any form of a competing Bond film would spell disaster at the boxoffice. However, Columbia’s commitment came and went and the release date waspushed to mid April 1967.Three more deleted scenes - Top: Vesper isfound dead on top of the roulette table. Right: Moneypenny evades Dr.Noah’s guards by disguising herself in a wetsuit and fake duck (homage toGoldfinger’s pre-credit segment). Bottom: Mata Bond, Cooper, Sir James,and Moneypenny try to break out of Dr. Noah’s psychedelic maze.
By early January, John Huston walked away fromthe film with scenes still not filmed. He told a surprised Val Guest thathe would be shooting his remaining scenes. Guest was now left alone tofinish the monstrosity. For his dedicated commitment, Feldman offered anadditional credit in the form of Coordinating Director. Guest barked,’This is coordinated? If you do that, I’ll sue you!’ A compromisewas reached and Guest received ‘Additional Sequences By’ which is the lastpart of the opening credits.
Heavy publicity followed in the months leading upto the premiere. Columbia Pictures promotional department flooded countlessmagazines with articles such as the Playboy spread called ‘The Girls of CasinoRoyale’ with commentary by Woody Allen. Movie theaters hung huge postersdepicting the actors and a nude, tattooed covered lady. Audio clips would playover their lobby speakers announcing the arrival of the film with the tag line -’Casino Royale Is Too Much For One James Bond’ .Terrence Cooper and Barbara Bouchet workovertime to save the free world.
The war of the Bond movies had reached a pinnaclewhen United Artists began to advertise You Only Live Twice with boldlettering saying ’Sean Connery IS James Bond’. Three campaign posterswould be made depicting Sean Connery being bathed by geisha girls, flying his‘Little Nellie’ helicopter while fighting off SPECTRE’s flying army, andthe interior of Blofeld’s volcano hideout during the final battle scene withConnery hanging upside down from the crater opening. With all the exposurebetween these two films, James Bond was becoming ‘too much for the averagemoviegoer’.
With all the negative morale during theproduction, Feldman was convinced he had a sure winner and proceeded to prove tothe world that his film was the ultimate crowd pleaser.
In New York City, Feldman gave a press party onthe roof of Broadway’s Screen Building. He unveiled a 62’ x 100’ sign of theclassic tattooed lady and served Hebrew National hot dogs and champagne. Also inattendance was 60’s pop icon Twiggy, shown viewing the trailer to CasinoRoyale.
The Cannes Film Festival was hoping to get in onthe fun by having Casino Royale as the show opener. Unfortunately,Feldman was unable to complete the film in time for the festival.
Legend has it that the film almost did not makeit to its April 13, 1967 premiere at the London Odeon Leicester Square theater.Apparently a final cut was being prepared inside the projection room. The U.S.premiere would not happen until Friday, April 28th.
However, a week later on Saturday night, May 6,1967 in Boston, Massachusetts, a riot broke out outside the Sack Savoy MovieTheater. According
