28. the original Casino Royale

Thu Nov 13, 2014, 04:58 AM

Nov 2014

a Spoof of the Bond movies from 1967, the cast includes

Peter Sellers
David Niven
Ursula Andress
Orson Welles
Woody Allen
Deborah Kerr
William Holden
Charles Boyer
John Huston
Jean-Paul Belmondo
among others

But it's a dark, dense incomprehensible mess. Maybe having 5 directors had something to do with it. Also Peter Sellers walked off the film before all his scenes were shot.
