I was thinking about the 1967 Casino Royale today and if I would watch
it or not.  The jury is still out on that one!

I offer the following argument:

Dahlia Lavi
Joanna Pettet
Barbara Bouchet
"Jacky" Bisset

Did I mention Dahlia Lavi?

Ursula Andress was all glammed up. Deborah Kerr was still gorgeous but
her director's scenes were even dumber than the rest of the movie.

There was something about movies in that era and how incredibly
beautiful all the women were. The early '30s were the same way.

Burt Bacharach's score was wonderful as performed by Herb Alpert and the
Tijuana Brass. And Dusty Springfield performs "The Look of Love",
written for this movie.
