			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Miss Caruso</strong> is a character in the James Bond film <a href="?p=113"><em>Live and Let Die</em></a>, played by Madeline Smith. She does not play a very large role in the story, appearing mostly in the opening almost as a sort of comic relief character. </p>
<p>Miss Caruso is an Italian agent whom Bond apparently romanced on a previous mission, and she is found sleeping with him in the post-credits opening; when <a href="?p=75">M</a> and <a href="?p=29">Miss Moneypenny</a> come to inform Bond of his mission, Miss Caruso, who is almost completely naked, snatches up her clothes and hides in the closet, but not before an embarrassing but quiet encounter with Moneypenny. After M and Moneypenny leave, Bond lets a relieved and grateful Miss Caruso out of the closet and tests his magnetic watch by unzipping her dress. It works.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Colonel of Police</strong> is the chief of all police forces in Bolivia in the James Bond film <a href="?p=470"><em>Quantum of Solace</em></a>, and was portrayed by Fernando Guillen Cuervo. </p>
<p>Although at first it seems as though he&#8217;s one of Bond&#8217;s and <a href="?p=47">René Mathis&#8217;</a> few contacts in Bolivia, this is contradicted when the Colonel hires a pair of motorcycle policemen to kill Bond and <a href="?p=2449">Camille</a>. This assassination attempt fails as the policemen are incapacitated by Bond although Mathis is shot and killed by them. </p>
<p>The Colonel is seen again at the Perla des las Dunas hotel where he&#8217;s planning on retiring but asks for money to be given to him for his career. He gets his money from <a href="?p=1977">Dominic Greene</a> and prepares to leave the hotel in a jeep. This is foiled when Bond jumps down onto the hood much to the Colonel&#8217;s horror. Bond then avenges Mathis&#8217; death by shooting the Colonel in the head through the windshield. The Colonel&#8217;s body slams on the reverse switch and accelerator causing the jeep to crash into one of the hotel&#8217;s fuel cells and cause an explosion that eventually destroys the place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bob Conley</strong> is a fictional character in the James Bond film, <a href="?p=163">A View To A Kill</a>, portrayed by Manning Redwood.</p>
<div class="piccontainer324lt">
<div class="pic324lt"><img alt=" " title=" " src="./images/villains/bobconley.jpg" /></div>
<div class="caption324lt">Manning Redwood as Bob Conley in &#8216;A View To A Kill&#8217;.</div>
</div>
<p>Conley is first seen at <a href="?p=168">Max Zorin&#8217;s</a> party as <a href="?p=2316">Dr Carl Mortner</a> introduces him to Bond. He is introduced as a Texas businessman involved with oil, which makes Bond suspicious, as since a numerous number of people were involved with oil as well. Before working with Zorin, Conley worked in a South African gold mine, but hastily escaped when a cave-in caused the 20 deaths of his fellow workers, leading to his departure from South Africa. Later in the film, Conley can be seen in the meeting room located in the interior Zorin&#8217;s airship</p>
<p>He is seen again with Zorin, as a pawn in his plan to dominate Silicon Valley, pumping sea water in the oil. He tells Zorin that the pump should flow at least the minimum amount. Zorin tells him to maximise it, which he hesitates to do.</p>
<p>Conley is with Zorin inside the cave when Project: Main Strike is about to start while Zorin is arming the detonator. His men then lower Conley standing on the crane positioning the detonator into the pit filled with literally tons of explosives. Conley then places it in the correct spot, and then yells for his men to raise him back up. When 007 and geologist <a href="?p=165">Stacey Sutton</a> are detected, Zorin commands Conley to &#8220;close up the entrance; nobody gets out.&#8221; </p>
<p>Soon Zorin realises that Conley&#8217;s men can&#8217;t be trusted anymore. He kills all of them, and is prepared to sacrifice May Day&#8217;s life. Conley argues against this, but is hit in the back by Zorin&#8217;s henchman <a href="?p=394">Scarpine</a> and throws him off a ledge. The workers rush to aid the presumably dying Conley while Zorin floods the fault. The workers are forced to leave Conley for dead when Zorin massacres the workers.</p>

<p>The Cab Driver is the driver who helps Bond to tail <a href="?p=116">Solitaire</a> and <a href="?p=45">Dr Kananga&#8217;s</a> men to Kananga&#8217;s Fillet of Soul restaurant in New York City.

After Bond departs into the Fillet of Soul, the Cab Driver is revealed to be a Kananga agent, who informs the restaurant crew about Bond&#8217;s arrival. Bond is later captured but soon escapes.</p>
<p>After Bond and Solitaire arrive in New Orleans from San Monique, they are driven around town by the same Cab Driver, who traps them in his car and drives them to Kananga&#8217;s men at a nearby airfield. He then amusingly informs Bond that they intend to send him &#8220;skydiving&#8221;. Bond once again escapes and the Cab Driver is not seen again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="?p=1">Ian Fleming</a> describes a <strong>Capungo</strong> as a bandit who will kill someone for as low as 40 pesos.</p>
<div class="piccontainer324lt">
<div class="pic324lt"><img alt=" " title=" " src="./images/villains/capungo.jpg" /></div>
<div class="caption324lt">Alf Joint as Capungo in &#8216;Goldfinger&#8217;.</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Film biography:</strong> Capungo, played by Alf Joint in the film <a href="?p=31"><em>Goldfinger</em></a>, is a Mexican thug who attempts to kill Bond in the pre-title sequence for breaking up the Ramirez Heroin Ring, a gang he previously worked for. He hires a flamenco dancer, <a href="?p=2094">Bonita</a>, to distract Bond while he sneaks up from behind and attempts to kill him. While kissing Bonita, however, Bond sees Capungo reflected in her eyes as he approaches with a club, and moves out of the way at the last second so that Bonita takes the hit. After a brutal fight, Bond then proceeds to throw Capungo into Bonita&#8217;s bathtub, before electrocuting him with a sunlamp, a fate to which Bond quips &#8220;Shocking. Positively shocking&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Novel biography:</strong> In a complete opposite to the film, the opening chapter of the novel &#8220;Reflections in a Double Bourbon&#8221; describes in flashback less than 24 hours earlier Bond killing a Mexican assassin on assignment in a serious and depressing way. Bond has travelled to Mexico where he impersonates a heroin buyer. Bond later destroys a warehouse full of heroin with a thermite bomb; the heroin being sent to England in diplomatic pouches. Fleming describes the Capungo as wearing a dirty linen suit and under the influence of marijuana who tries to kill Bond with a knife. Bond kills him with his bare hands, parrying the killer&#8217;s knife attack, hitting his chin with the heel of his palm then striking him in the throat with his other hand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>Orson Welles reportedly insisted on including magic tricks into his scenes, a possible source of the friction between him and Peter Sellers.</li>
<li>In his book &#8220;Woody Allen: A Biography&#8221;, John Baxter says that in addition to the commonly credited contributors to the film&#8217;s script, several more individuals also helped in the writing. They include Allen collaborator Mickey Rose, Frank Buxton, Orson Welles, Joseph McGrath, John Huston, and former MGM studios head Dore Schary.</li>
<li>Cameos by Frank Sinatra, Sophia Loren, and Barbra Streisand were planned.</li>
<li>When Mata Bond swings into action, the background music is &#8220;Bond Street&#8221;.</li>
<li>Peter Sellers and Orson Welles hated each other so much that the filming of the scene where both of them face each other across a gaming table actually took place on different days with a double standing in for one the actors.</li>
<li>Peter Sellers often caused interruptions by leaving the set for days at a time.</li>
<li>The rift between Orson Welles and Peter Sellers was partly caused by the arrival on set of Princess Margaret, sister of the Queen. Sellers knew her of old and greeted her in an ostentatious manner to ensure all cast and crew noticed. However, the Princess walked straight past him and made a big fuss over Welles. Nonplussed, Sellers stormed off the set and refused to film with Welles again.</li>
<li>Numerous screenwriters and directors contributed bits to the film and were uncredited: Billy Wilder (the &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s Perfect&#8221; tag line) and Terry Southern (the war room in Berlin) among them.</li>
<li>An enormous Taj Mahal-type set was designed for the film but never built.</li>
<li>Casino Royale was Ian Fleming&#8217;s first James Bond novel. It was the only one not sold to Eon Productions. As a result, CBS TV first adapted it for an episode of &#8220;Climax!&#8221; (1954) in 1954, starring Barry Nelson as CIA agent Jimmy Bond. When plans began to adapt the novel as a motion picture, the original thought was to do a straight film of the novel. But with the success of Sean Connery&#8217;s Bond, it was decided the only way a rival Bond film could survive would be as a parody. The Peter Sellers sequence is the only part of Ian Fleming&#8217;s novel to make it into the film. The confrontation with Le Chiffre in the casino, the plan to discredit Le Chiffre with SMERSH and the villain&#8217;s execution by enemy agents are all in the novel. So is the notion of Bond writing a book on baccarat, and the element of Vesper being an enemy spy. Reportedly, Eon Productions has been trying to buy back the rights to Casino Royale for years, in hopes of someday making a serious Bond film out of the novel. Despite being regarded as a &#8220;flop&#8221; financially in the press, the film actually did quite well in financial terms. Despite its very high production budget and additional costs in marketing and advertising, it still managed to make a net profit of well over $5 million for the studio. The film was generally reported as a failure financially in the press because it was outperformed at the box office by the official Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967), which was released in the same year, and because of the film&#8217;s high costs. Although it didn&#8217;t match You Only Live Twice at the box office it still managed to do quite well. Casino Royale was the 3rd highest grossing film for the year behind only The Jungle Book (1967/I) and You Only Live Twice.</li>
<li>According to Eric Lax, Woody Allen was astonished by what he viewed as extravagant spending on the film (he was flown in and put up in an expensive hotel for several weeks doing nothing before they got around to shooting his scenes) and the chaotic production. He wrote to a friend: &#8220;The film will probably make a mint. Not money, but a single peppermint.&#8221;</li>
<li>The license plate number of the Wrights Dairies light yellow Bedford milk delivery van was 4132KX.</li>
<li>AFSD stands for Anti Female Spy Device.</li>
<li>The license plate number of James Bond&#8217;s jalopy car was K 19.</li>
<li>Vehicles featured included James Bond&#8217;s black supercharged Bentley; Evelyn Tremble&#8217;s black Lotus Formula 3 race car; a white Jaguar E Roadster; a black Mercedes-Benz; Wrights Dairies light yellow Bedford milk delivery van; a Citroën police car and a Golden 3-Wheeler.</li>
<li>The Le Chiffre agent killed in a Berlin phone booth is played by Vladek Sheybal, who previously played an enemy agent in From Russia with Love (1963).</li>
<li>In the German spy school, Polo mentions some of the former students, among them Peter Lorre. Peter Lorre played Le Chiffre in the original, made-for-TV version of Casino Royale on &#8220;Climax!&#8221; (1954).</li>
<li>Producer Charles K. Feldman originally offered to make the film as a co-production with official Bond series producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli. Saltzman and Broccoli had just co-produced the previous Bond flick Thunderball (1965) with Kevin McClory, and did not want to do so again. Forced to produce the film on his own, Feldman approached Sean Connery to star as Bond. Unwilling to meet his $1 million salary demand, Feldman decided to turn the film into a spoof, and cast David Niven as Bond instead. After the film went through numerous production problems and a spiralling budget, Feldman met Connery at a Hollywood party and reportedly told him it would have been cheaper to pay him the million dollars.</li>
<li>When the studio approved the film&#8217;s production budget it was $6 million, quite a large budget in 1966. However, during filming the project ran into several problems and the shoot ran months over schedule, with the costs also running well over. When the film was finally completed it had run twice over its original $6 million production budget. The final production budget of $12 million made it one of the most expensive films that had been made to that point. The previous official Bond film, Thunderball (1965), had a $9 million-$11 million production budget, while You Only Live Twice (1967), which was released the same year as Casino Royale, and had a budget of $9.5 million-$11.5 million. The extremely high budget of &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221; caused it to earn the reputation as being &#8220;a mini Cleopatra (1963)&#8221;, referring to the runaway and out of control costs of the film.</li>
<li>In 1999 Sony paid MGM $5 million to settle the $40 million lawsuit that MGM had brought against Sony over the Bond rights. The lawsuit was filed because of Sony&#8217;s intentions to remake Casino Royale. In the settlement Sony agreed to hand over all of its rights to the Bond character and Casino Royale. In an ironic twist of fate, Sony bought MGM in 2005, and in 2006, will be releasing a serious adaptation of Casino Royale.</li>
<li>In 1999 MGM paid Sony $10 million for the rights to this film.</li>
<li>This film was originally intended to be released on Christmas in 1966, but because the shoot ran several months over schedule the film was not released until April of 1967.</li>
<li>Orson Welles attributed the success of the film to a marketing strategy that featured a naked tattooed lady on the film&#8217;s posters and print ads.</li>
<li>During Cooper&#8217;s &#8220;anti-female spy&#8221; training sequence, the first female agent who kisses him is dressed exactly like Ursula Andress&#8217;s character in Dr. No (1962), complete with knife.</li>
<li>Actors considered for the role of Sir James Bond included Laurence Harvey, Stanley Baker, &#8216;Peter O&#8217;Toole (I)&#8217; , and William Holden. Holden and O&#8217;Toole had cameos in the final film.</li>
<li>A carpet beater can be seen hanging from the side of Orson Welles&#8217;s chair. This is a link to the original Casino Royale novel, in which Le Chiffre tortures Bond by thrashing his testicles with a carpet beater.</li>
<li>The scenes with Woody Allen were shot in London. Producers delayed his final day of shooting so many times, out of frustration Allen left the set, went directly to Heathrow Airport and flew back to New York City without changing out of his costume.</li>
<li>According to Val Guest, who found himself finishing the work started by several of the other directors, the producer offered him a unique &#8220;Co-ordinating Director&#8221; credit, but he refused.</li>
<li>At least two gags involving Peter Sellers in this film later resurfaced in the Pink Panther films of the 1970s: a sight gag involving Sellers wearing a Toulouse Loutrec costume, and a joke involving a driver running away when being asked to &#8220;follow that car.&#8221;</li>
<li>Ian Hendry was cut out of this project.</li>
<li>According to interviews with director Val Guest, Peter Sellers became such a problem during the filming that the decision was made to fire him before he had finished all of his scenes. As a result, the end of the marching band torture scene was noticeably altered and Sellers&#8217; subsequent scenes were written out.</li>
<li>Cameo: [George Raft] [As Himself.]</li>
<li>Cameo: [Jean-Paul Belmondo] [As a French Legionnaire.]</li>
<li>Cameo: [Peter O'Toole] as Piper, a Scot with bagpipes. Reportedly, his fee for this was a case of champagne.</li>
<li>The name for the organisation SMERSH is derived from &#8220;Smiert Spionam&#8221; which means &#8220;death to spies&#8221;. &#8220;Smiert Spionam&#8221; is the the full phrase from which the acronym of the Soviet counterespionage organisation SMERSH took its name. It existed as early as World War II, and was a branch of the NKVD (later KGB).</li>
<li>In his first scene David Niven is seen bouncing up and down in a chair whose seat is fixed to what appear to be accordion bellows. This is a &#8220;chamber horse&#8221;, a home exercise machine that was popular in 18th century Britain.</li>
