Correct me on details, memory is vague, but I recall years ago seeing
a 1956? stage production of 'Casino Royale' on TV,featuring Jackie Cooper as Bond and Peter Lorre as adversary. BTW, saw the first JB
film as a teen, 'Dr. No', followed by 'From Russia With Love', then
'Goldfinger', 'Thunderball', etc. great viewing for a youngster in the early 1960s. ~AH
Follow Ups:
Consulted imdb: That Casino Royale production was a 1954 TV episode
from Climax Mystery Theater(USA)1954-1957. Lorre played crime boss
Le Chiffre and Barry Nelson played Jimmy Bond. ~AH
I was not aware of this US TV production of 1954. And I love P. Lorre.
Casino Royale was written in 1953.
The only one I knew was the parody.
Boring.
Saw the 67 spoof. Casino Royale: Collectors Edition-1954 is available
on VHS from www.amazon.com for 20 bucks if you're interested. Go to
site and read 12 customer reviews, avg rating is 4 out of 5 stars. ~AH
For luck I have a VHS that do NTSC, I go into an order tomorrow.
That you for the idea!
~AH
