Casino Royale (1967)

Not an official James Bond film (produced by EON), but a spoof. Billed as "Charles K. Feldman's Casino Royale."
Starring David Niven as James Bond, Woody Allen as Jimmy Bond, Ursula Andress as Vesper Lynd. Also with Orson Welles, Joanna Pettet, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, John Huston, George Raft, and Jacqueline Bisset. Score by Burt Bacharach, theme song by Herb Albert.

"If you ever whiled away an afternoon watching Casino Royale, and wondered why it doesn't make a bit of sense (scenes out of sequence, the disappearance of leading actors, the attenuation of plot strands, etc.), it is because Peter Sellers never completed his role...."
