OK, _loosely_ based off of one of Ian Fleming's books. :)
I've seen the film, but haven't read the book. I was under the
impression though that at least some of the casino scenes from the
movie were similar to scenes in the book, if nothing else.
However, Casino Royale isn't the only instance where a Bond movie
takes its title from an Ian Flemming novel even though the two works
bear little resemblence to each other, correct?
