For now, let's ignore the fact that this flick stars a whole slew of talented cast members. "Casino Royale" is an amusing parody of James Bond. While many of the jokes are worthless, they usually bring a smile to your face. Now let's talk about the cast. It stars Peter Sellers, David Niven, Woody Allen, Orson Welles, Charles Boyer, John Huston, Ursula Andress, Deborah Kerr, etc. With a cast like that, shouldn't this film be very good? It fails because it's not able to deliver with this kind of personnel! A tragedy.
