Casino Royale (1967) is an un-official James Bond film, and a pardoy of EON Productions' official James Bond film series. It is based on Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, and stars David Niven as James Bond. The film is the second of three film adaptations of Fleming's Casino Royale to be produced, the other two being the 1954 Climax! TV film and the official EON Bond installment in 2006. It is also the second of three un-official (non-EON produced) James Bond movies, the former being the 1954 adaptation Casino Royale, and the third being the 1983 remake Never Say Never Again, none of which have any connection to each other.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, producers of the official Jamesa Bond series, would eventually purchase the rights to the film from Columbia Pictures in the late 1990's, along with the 1954 Casino Royale adaptation and Never Say Never Say Never Again.
