You either get it or you don't
Over the years I would periodically track this movie down and re-watch it. Multiple viewings are generally not my thing but for me this is fun, nostalgic, clever and a breath of fresh air. It had some of the biggest named stars of the era willingly poking fun at themselves. The sixties heralded some of the most outrageous fashions and cultural shifts and this movie typifies what it was like. Very colorful, pre-digital, personality driven and carefree. Since the 70's, most of this has been lost to the boring PC culture and the promise of a new technological prison, that has little time for the absurd. Long live Casino Royale.

Psychedelic Extravaganza!
I highly recommend this film to anyone who is an aficionado of psychedelic or 1960's film/music/art. This was the most expensive psychedelic project of the entire era to my knowledge, in any format. The sets alone make the the feature worth seeing. Having a keen familiarity with the era and culture may not be enough to prepare one for appreciating this standout curiosity. One must also be widely versed in James Bond, novels and all, to understand much of the humor. That humor is set against an invisible backdrop of the unprecedented popularity of James Bond at the time. A degree of comfort with all things psychedelic is yet another requirement to fully digest this cinematic delight. Please note that this was a very "in" movie, to coin a phrase from the era, which also explains why "Casino Royale ('67)" receives unfavorable reviews. As this lavish production was targeted for the "in" crowd of that bygone era, it is only slightly more alien to the general public today. If you are "in", this high water mark of the era is an experience not to be missed.
