Listen to "Casino Royale - Climax! (1954)" on Spreaker.
We're going all the way back to the first screen adaptation of James Bond: the 1954 live television version of Casino Royale from the CBS anthology series Climax!
Starring: Barry Nelson as James Bond, Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre, and Linda Christian as Valerie Mathis.
Directed by: William H. Brown Jr.
American CIA agent "Jimmy" Bond survives an assassination attempt—largely by standing still—before being sent to defeat Le Chiffre at baccarat and force the Soviets to "retire" him.
We get into the plot, the performances, whether this works as an introduction to the world of James Bond, the music, our favorite quotes, trivia, and more.
