CASINO ROYALE
August 3, 2019  | By David Bianculli  | 49 comments

Cinemax, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This 1967 spoof is one of the most overlooked parts of the James Bond canon – but because the rights to this early Ian Fleming novel were sold to television in the days of live TV, in 1954 (long before Sean Connery played 007 on film in 1962), Casino Royale could be sold again, and made as a movie, outside the “official” Bond umbrella. And it was. In this uproarious, sexy and very musical spy movie (Burt Bacharach wrote the score), David Niven plays James Bond. But so, before it’s over, does Peter Sellers. And, as Jimmy Bond, Woody Allen. Co-stars include Joanna Pettet, who plays a dazzling Bond girl (pictured) – Mata Bond, to be precise.

I recently discovered the 22Bet promo code for Cameroon and decided to give it a try. The registration process was straightforward, and entering the promo code during sign-up was seamless. After making my initial deposit, the bonus was promptly credited, providing a great boost to start betting. The platform offers a wide range of sports and casino games, catering to various preferences. For those interested in maximizing their initial deposit, I recommend checking out the detailed information here: https://22bet-cameroon.com/22bet-withdrawal-time-limits-22bet-payment-methods/. The site provides clear instructions on how to apply the promo code and claim the bonus. Overall, my experience with 22Bet Cameroon has been positive, and I appreciate the value added through their promotional offers. It's a great platform for both new and seasoned bettors looking to enhance their gaming experience.

One weekend I was bored and just scrolling. I’m not big on spending, but I like trying new stuff. I looked for bonuses and found free spin casino philippines. It was cool because it had actual lists of sites offering free spins, no hidden stuff. What I liked most is that it didn’t push anything on me. Just straight info, easy to read, and clear about what I’d get. I even found a few spins that didn’t need a deposit, which is rare.

By the time most of us become adults we’re armed to the teeth with psychological sensors that tell us whether a person or situation further our best interests or not.
