Characters specific to the James Bond parody film Casino Royale (1967). For the overall James Bond franchise, see here. Sir James BondPlayed by: David Niven A legendary British secret agent who had retired from the service, he is forced out of. Casino Royale is the theme song for the unofficial 1967 James Bond film Casino Royale, composed by Burt Bacharach with lyrics by Hal David.It is performed by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass with the lyrics sung by Mike Redway. Seven James Bonds at Casino Royale, They came to save the world and win a gal at Casino Royale. Six of them went to a heavenly spot. Casino Royale was released on 13 April 1967, two months prior to Eon's fifth Bond movie, You Only Live Twice. The film was a financial success, grossing over $41.7 million worldwide, and Burt Bacharach 's musical score was praised, earning him an Academy Award nomination for the song ' The Look of Love '. Though Casino Royale was not the first of the James Bond novels to be filmed, a popular parody of the book, starring David Niven (as Bond), Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Ursula Andress, and Orson Welles, was released in 1967. A well-received updated adaptation of the book, starring Daniel Craig as Bond, appeared in 2006. The 1967 film adaptation of Fleming's first novel, Casino Royale, spoofed the EON film series. As part of its storyline, Sir James Bond ( David Niven ), after having assumed the position of M, mandates that all MI6 agents - male and female - be renamed James Bond 007 in order to confuse enemy agents of SMERSH.

Missing characters[edit]
Woody Allen's character needs to be added since he was the main villain. We should also have sections for the Detainer, Coop, and Lady McTarry as well. 23skidoo 19:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Geraldine Chaplin as a Keystone Cop?[edit]
This one sounds a bit dubious. I think a source should be added for this one. 23skidoo (talk) 18:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
The only source is the film itself as it was an uncredited role. If you watch the final sequence of the film you will see her in all the mayhem.

- Uh, that's not really good enough. For one thing Keystone cops are usually covered in hats and moustaches. Are we basing this upon someone saying 'so and so looks like Geraldine Chaplin' or is there a source out there that actually says Chaplin was in the movie? If all we have is someone making guesswork then that violates WP:NOR and WP:BLP (although it wouldn't really qualify as libel) and would need to be removed. 23skidoo (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Here's a reference for Geraldine Chaplin in Casino Royale [1].
- You can see a photo of Geraldine Chaplin with Richard Talmadge as Keystone Kops in Casino Royale here
- [2]
- Geraldine Chaplin does not wear a moustache and is clearly identifiable in the photo.
- That's two references for Geraldine Chaplin in Casino Royale.

- Excellent. Now all you need to do is actually put these in the article and WP:CITE is satisfied. Note by the way the first source says Chaplin is actually playing an homage to the Tramp (though Charlie to my knowledge never actually played a Keystone Cop but I might be wrong). And I'm not singling out Chaplin for special treatment; under Wikipedia citation policy we should actually site sources for all the uncredited actors (and unfortunately the IMDb is not considered a good source) 23skidoo (talk) 14:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Page move proposal[edit]
I'd like to suggest that this article be moved to List of characters in Casino Royale (1967) for the following reasons:1. The title is incorrect and redundant, plus not every character listed is James Bond.2. There are two major films by the name Casino Royale, and this one should be disambiguated at the title level to avoid confusion with the 2006 film.I'm not listing this at Wikipedia:Requested moves on the grounds that the campaign to remove 'List of ...' articles from the project might be attracted by such a listing. I'd rather seek consensus with folks who have this on this watchlist (though I'll also mention it on the JB Wikiproject page. Thoughts? 23skidoo (talk) 15:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Giovanna Goodthighs?[edit]
What's the source for the character's first name? I thought she was only ever referred to as Miss Goodthighs in the film. 23skidoo (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
A game of 'wurseling'[edit]
Casino Royale 1967 Characters Then And Now
Re: Agent Mimi.
This is Britain, so it would be 'wurselling', double L.
But 'wurzel' is a way of saying mangelwurzel, a vegetable mainly used as animal fodder.
So the game could be 'wurzelling', where 'wurzel' has a connotation of country bumpkin.
There is in fact a wurzel-based sport called 'mangold hurling'. See the above link.

Casino Royale 1967 Cast List
I cannot find a single reference to either actor appearing in this film in a credited or uncredited role. IMdb doesn't indicate that they are in it (not that I'm suggesting that that is an infallible source).--Stevouk (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
