284 Casino Royale (1967)
- 'Peter Sellers' (qv) and 'Orson Welles' (qv) hated each 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.
- Sellers often caused interruptions by leaving the set for days at a time.
- A brief snippet of the title tune to "What's New, Pussycat (1965)" (qv)
(which had many cast members in common) can be heard.
- At least one-half hour of the film ended on the cutting room floor and is now
missing.
- Numerous screenwriters and directors contributed bits to the film and were
uncredited: 'Billy Wilder' (qv) (the ``Nobody's Perfect'' tag line) and
'Terry Southern' (qv) (the war room in Berlin) among them.
- An enormous Taj Mahal-type set was designed for the film but never built.
