As he approaches his 50th anniversary and his sixth incarnation, this character is facing his most daunting mission yet. And, oh yes, he's survived death by hat too.) But this character is about to change. (Gun crime is old hat in intelligence circles. This guy has been on the screen since 1962, and in the 44 years that followed has survived assassination attempts by means as diverse as poison gas, death ray, crocodile and spider. Not that this character needs any introduction. Five words that put you right there, in a world of espionage, elegant cocktails (shaken, not stirred) and fast cars.

The line he's talking about is possibly the most famous line in movie history, or rather the most repeated line in movie history.

But then again, it could just be that it goes without saying. It may be because he has just five weeks to finish up the 21st and possibly most important movie in Britain's most lucrative film franchise, and this fuel break will be his only escape for the foreseeable future. He doesn't even look up from his dim sum when he says this. Besides, one can't argue with a version of James Bond that can be enjoyed in only 51 minutes.“We never test the line,” says Martin Campbell. Since this version does end differently from both the novel and the 2006 version of the film (and the 1967 film is 'Casino Royale' is an even further deviation from the original story), losing the end would be a real tragedy for anyone examining how different cultures and times viewed Ian Fleming's iconic character. Without this lower quality footage, the ending would not exist.

One has to remember that this was once considered lost and footage was pieced together from two sources. The only complaint from a viewers perspective is that there is a notable drop in video quality shortly before the end. Overall, the story is truer to the novel and seeing Barry Nelson's American 'Jimmy' Bond is fascinating. There are some major liberties taken in this version of Casino Royale (most notably combining Vesper and Mathis into 'Valerie Mathis,' changing the torture scene, and switching up the nationalities of the characters) but very few of the changes can't be justified based on the format.
