Re: Has anyone seen the 67' version of Casino Royale? Some spoilers maybe Posted by teke184 on 2/18/20 at 5:55 pm to Green Chili Tiger It was a hell of a swing from Roger Moore, who was certainly the campiest one, to Dalton, who was certainly the grimmest one.

Just checking in to say that Timothy Dalton never gets the credit he deserves for his take on Bond.

I am a huge Bond fan (judge away) and 'David Niven' is my gotcha answer to anyone who claims to be a fan. The question is: Name all the actors who played Bond?
quote:I would say Craig in Casino Royale
He's [Dalton] honestly probably the closest to the book Bond as well.
quote:IMDB tells me that during the baccarat scene between Sellers and Orson Welles, the two actors were never actually on the set at the same time because they hated each other so much
The '67 version is a mess b/c Peters Sellers quit/was fired during filming

Just checking in to say that Timothy Dalton never gets the credit he deserves for his take on Bond.

I’ve long held the belief that T-Dalt was the best Bond. People scoff at that, but I think most people just dismiss him because he was only in 2 movies.
He’s the only classically-trained Shakespearean actor to ever portray Bond. His take is gritty and grim and serious, and it certainly would be well-received in today’s era. Imagine a Sicario-like Bond film with Timothy Dalton. It was out of place and ahead of its time for the 80s - although both Living Daylights and License to Kill are SOLID Bond movies. He’s definitely the most underrated Bond.
