Casino Royale started life as a book written by Ian Flemming and published in 1953 .

It was his first book in the James Bond series .

There has been a lot of hype and interest in the 2006 release of the Bond movie ' Casino Royale '.

However , this is the 2nd film to carry this title.

The first Casino Royale was released in 1967 and the cast list should have guaranteed success. David Niven , Peter Sellers , Orson Wells ,Woody Allen ,Deborah Carr ,Jean-Paul Belmondo and Ursula Andress all did what they could with the script but in the end the film was not a great success.

It tried to be a spoof ' Bond ' genre film and based its story line only very loosely on Flemmings Book .
