| Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Casino Royale |

Any movie directed by 5 different people is
bound to be confusing. This was, off course,
no exception.
Orson Welles reportedly insisted on including
magic tricks into his scenes, a possible
source of the friction between him and Peter
Sellers.
When Mata Bond swings into action, the
background music is "Bond Street" also scored
by this film's composer, Burt Bacharach. The
real Bond Street can be seen in the later
James Bond movie, Octopussy (1983).
Peter Sellers and Orson Welles hated each
other so much that the filming of the scene
where both of them face each other across a
gaming table actually took place on different
days with a double standing in for one the
actors.
Peter Sellers often caused interruptions by
leaving the set for days at a time.
The rift between Orson Welles and Peter
Sellers was partly caused by the arrival on
set of Princess Margaret, sister of the
Queen. Sellers knew her of old and greeted
her in an ostentatious manner to ensure all
cast and crew noticed. However, the Princess
walked straight past him and made a big fuss
over Welles. Nonplussed, Sellers stormed off
the set and refused to film with Welles
again.
An enormous Taj Mahal-type set was designed
for the film but never built. The real Taj
Mahal can be seen in the later James Bond
movie Octopussy (1983).
The gadget used by Le Chiffre to cheat at
Baccarat was a pair of infra-red sunglasses
with x-ray capabilities. X-ray sunglasses
would also be seen in the later James Bond
movie The World Is Not Enough (1999).
The West German street Feldmanstrasse seen in
the film is a name parody of the film's
producer Charles K. Feldman. This is the
location of the Mata Hari Dance & Spy School.
The first thing seen in the movie which is
the graffiti seen on the Paris pisoir at the
film's beginning read: "Les Beatles".
Orson Welles attributed the success of the
film to a marketing strategy that featured a
naked tattooed lady on the film's posters and
print ads.
A carpet beater can be seen hanging from the
side of Orson Welles's chair. This is a link
to the original Casino Royale novel, in which
Le Chiffre tortures Bond by thrashing his
testicles with a carpet beater.
At least two gags involving Peter Sellers in
this film later resurfaced in the Pink
Panther films of the 1970s: a sight gag
involving Sellers wearing a Toulouse Loutrec
costume, and a joke involving a driver
running away when being asked to "follow that
car." That man was Stirling Moss, one of the
greatest race car drivers of all time.
The name for the organization SMERSH is
derived from "Smiert Spionam" which means
"death to spies". "Smiert Spionam" is the the
full phrase from which the acronym of the
Soviet counterespionage organization SMERSH
took its name. It existed as early as World
War II, and was a branch of the NKVD (later
KGB).
Le Chiffre is a French word which translates
into English as "The Cypher" or "The Number".
Other translations in different languages
include "Die Nummer", "Herr Ziffer", and "Mr.
Number".
In his first scene David Niven is seen
bouncing up and down in a chair whose seat is
fixed to what appear to be accordion bellows.
This is a "chamber horse", a home exercise
machine that was popular in 18th-century
Britain.
In the "vault" scene towards the end, Bond
says, "Careful, it's vaporized lysergic acid,
highly explosive". Lysergic acid is actually
used in the synthesis of the hallucinogen
LSD, and is not an explosive.
In the German spy school, Polo mentions some
of the former students, among them Peter
Lorre. Peter Lorre played Le Chiffre in the
original, made-for-TV version of Casino
Royale on "Climax!" (1954).
The Le Chiffre agent killed in a Berlin phone
booth is played by Vladek Sheybal, who
previously played an enemy agent in From
Russia with Love (1963).
