The latest episode of James Bond & Friends is now available on Apple Podcasts and elsewhere.
Join us as we watch 1954’s live television production of Casino Royale together as a group experience.
James Bond is American, Leiter is British, Vesper and Mathis are combined into one character, and the story of Casino Royale is condensed into a 50-minute production broadcast live! If you have not seen this unique entry in the 007 series, why not join us and watchalong as we explore the creative decisions and ponder what could have happened to the franchise if Ian Fleming’s hero had taken off on television.
The version we watched is complete with the original ending that is missing from the MGM print. You can watch it here.

The recording took place on November 20th, 2020 in the USA, UK, and Spain.
