At that, it's time pull back the proverbial shower curtain on all the differences between the book and the film. The book and film have many similarities, both dealing with double agents, torture, love, and loss, but some of the biggest differences can be seen in the role that the women play in the stories, and simply in the way Bond looks. The famous (and fictional) British Secret Service agent, James Bond first appeared in 1953 in the novel Casino Royale by Ian Fleming and has since gone on to appear in twelve novels and two short. He is introduced to CIA agent Felix Leiter (a relationship that would continue to play out in future stories), and falls in love with fellow MI-6 agent Vesper Lynd (an affair doomed to end badly for everyone involved). So it's time for us to see if we can spy all the differences between the novel and film.Ĭasino Royale is a story that pits James Bond against the sadistic Le Chiffre. Casino Royale is Ian Flemmings first novel in the James Bond series dealing with gambling, spying, and Britain's place in the world, and the 2006 film was both a critical and box office success.
