Casino Royale (1968)

In an early spy spoof, aging Sir James Bond (David Niven) comes out of retirement to take on SMERSH.

Utter nonsense with it’s own silly charm, there’s not much I can say about this that’s nice. Considering the source material at the time and the state of spoofs I guess I shouldn’t have expected very much, but I was still let down by how intentionally dumb the plot got as the movie progressed. Be aware there’s some pretty racist stuff towards the end with a whole army of “injuns” played by white guys that show up to help fight the final ridiculous fight.
