POSTER: CASINO ROYALE

Continuing our mini-celebration of great spy-style posters from the 1960s, here is the fantastic Japanese art for Casino Royale (1967). This film has so much going for it in terms of soundtrack and moments of great design, too bad it is ultimately marred by too many collaborators on the project. I think one might be able to re-edit the film into a very cool short. Despite its flaws, however, I really enjoy many sequences in the film. See why Casino Royale made it to fellow C.O.B.R.A.S. writer, Armstrong Sabian's top-five list of best spy movie sets here.
