And the theme tune.....

A good Bond film and a good debut for Daniel Craig....

But maybe drags on a bit? Needed trimming?

A good Bond film and a good debut for Daniel Craig....

Agreed. He works as Bond for me. He can be suave and seducing, but then turn and be a cold blooded killer.

But maybe drags on a bit? Needed trimming?

After Le Chiffre tortures him, the film hits a slow patch. It's needed for storytelling, but maybe could have been trimmed. A bit.

"The Real Casino Royale" (2006)

An excellent BBC documentary on the creation of James Bond in Ian Fleming's first novel, "Casino Royale" (1953).

"As a new film version of the book Casino Royale opens in cinemas around the world, Andrew Graham Dixon explores the crucial moments in Ian Fleming's life which inspired him to create James Bond. The documentary combines previously unseen archive footage of Fleming with dramatised readings from the novel and follows Graham Dixon on a mission to uncover the real stories behind Casino Royale. He interviews friends and family of the author and those involved in the film, including the new 007 Daniel Craig."
