Japan is famous for its casinos, which James Bond would appreciate. Thanks to Sean Connery and James Bond, Japan was brought to the world. After all, it turns out that, at just fifty minutes long, it’s the shortest James Bond outing - which ties in quite nicely with No Time To Die being the longest! You should also enjoy You Only Live Twice with its beautiful Japanese setting. So you can imagine my surprise when the good people at Apple included it in the film & TV part of the iTunes Store! Obviously, I snapped up a copy and gave it a watch.
Seeing as how it was a television episode from the other side of the planet and broadcast before I was born, I doubted very much whether or not I’d ever actually get to see it. During the course of doing my bit of the Giant James Bond Rewatch, there were references to Climax! Casino Royale which is the very first screen outing for Bond an episode of Climax! from 1954, less than three years after the novel was written.
