Casino Royale is a 1954 episode made for the American Climax! TV series. While it has the honor of being the first James Bond production outside a book, it Americanized everything including Bond himself, as well as greatly simplifying the story. It starred Barry Nelson as Jimmy Bond and Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre. In turn Leiter was changed from American to British.
Tropes used in the 1954 TV production include:
- Hostage for Macguffin
- Mutilation Interrogation
- Pretty in Mink
- Spared by the Adaptation: Vesper and, possibly, Le Chiffre
- The Un-Reveal: Chiffre is shown groping for his hat -- then the show ends. It had previously been mentioned that he kept a razor hidden there.
