  • Summary

  • Welcome to episode 000.

    This little-known TV-movie adaptation of Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, came out just a year after the book. It premiered on the CBS anthology television show, Climax!, in 1954.

    It stars Barry Nelson as an American James Bond, Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre, Linda Christian as Valerie Mathis (a combination of the characters René Mathis and Vesper Lynd), and Michael Pate as (the British) Clarence Leiter.
