look at all the talent wasted in this mess of a movie -- really impressive if you think about it

David Niven was an okay James Bond and Daliah Lavi was super hot. It’s not particularly good, but it’s not horrible either. Own it on DVD.

This movie is what happens when you have 0 direction with the project you are making.
Peter Sellers wanted a serious Bond film
John Huston needed a reason to be on film
Orson Welles wanted to show off his magic tricks
Charles K. Feldman wanted a parody akin to Whats New Pussycat?
Had they committed to something, it would have made money. The fact it drew 41 mil against a 12 mil budget is a testament to the hype it had.
But the execution is just so poor.

Let’s not forget that The Look of Love was also nominated for an Oscar.

Didn't Mike Myers mention this as inspiring the Austin Powers series?
(EDIT: The article says him being a fan of Burt Bacharach, but I could have sworn I read something where he cited CR67 in general. And for the crap I give the AP trilogy, mostly the sequels, I guess we can agree that it outdid CR67.)

so here's what I like about this.... thing:
David Prowse was ok as Frankenstein's monster
I love the soundtrack
David Niven was ok as the OG Sir James Bond
I kind of like the complete WTF of ending... with 7:35 left in the movie
I picked Casino Royale 1967 because I knew that this would most likely not end up on Monster Crap if I didn't pick it
additionally, I loathe this movie
also the backstory of how this movie came into being is fascinating

Also, future Bond girl, Angela Scoular (Ruby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service) plays Buttercup in this film.
