The Original Casino Royale Movie Made Daniel Craig’s Darkest Bond Scene Even Worse

Before 2006’s Casino Royale, there was a 1967 version of the movie that featured an even darker take on one of the James Bond franchise’s most brutal scenes.

non-Eon Bond movies, 2006’s Casino Royale is a gritty reboot of the franchise led by Daniel Craig. For all their differences, however, the two films do share one thing in common.
