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!

 All great arguments for watching the movie listed below. I find it a
funny movie that I'll watch again every so often.
 

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.

I know I've watched it two or three times over the years, but I don't remember it all that well.  And the bits I do remember are more towards the end when it gets goofy.  Anyway, I already put the list together.  I was looking to see where I could squeeze it in and turns out it was already on the list.  That doesn't guarantee I'll watch it, but at least I don't have to squeeze it in anywhere since it's already accounted for.   And if I follow the watch order I made, it's the first movie of the day, which is a huge plus.  I prefer to get the ones I'm least interested in out of the way first.
