I find it hard to fully accept, because the pre titles scene, which is shown in the trailer, has Evelyn Tremble/James Bond (Sellers) and Inspector Mathis (Duncan ) meeting in an old fashioned French street pissoir the way Bond checks out Mathis’ credentials can’t be anything other than a sight gag. Peter Sellers, allegedly, kept rewriting his scenes to make them play less comedically. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence of the cast thinking Casino Royale was going to be a straight up spy film rather than a spoof/pastiche/parody. So this exercise was a chance to learn a bit more about it and give it another watch.
My memory of Casino Royale was that it was all a bit silly and very dated, but I have to admit I was probably about twelve when I saw it.
