Have you actually seen this film? I have, as well as reading the book, and
the title is just about the only thing they have in common. The movie is
QUITE obviously a parody in the vein of Get Smart or Austin Powers.
Incidentally, have any of y'all seen The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, a made
for cable movie [TNT IIRC]. The second half of this movie, which claims to
be based on Flemings real-life military career, is pretty much Casino Royale
[the book] with Nazis as villains instead of Commies. And it stars Sean
Connery's son, Jason.
