Casino Royale was a spoof Bond movie starring David Niven and Peter Sellers. Music by Burt Bacharach with contributions from Dusty Springfield and Herb Alpert. (US:22 UK:35)

"Burt Bacharach does an absolutely magnificent job of bringing the music together for this film. The title song Casino Royale performed by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass is non-stop excitement and over the top with thrills. The Look Of Love by Dusty Springfield is romantically wonderful and captivates the listener every time. Le Chiffre's Torture Of The Mind and Money Penny Goes For Broke are truly inspired tracks as well. Everyone should own this soundtrack, buy it now."

"Compositions by Bacharach, main titles played by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, The Look Of Love by Dusty Springfield, and some shaking, grooving and spying bits of music all along. This is easy listening, baby but, as always when Burt is in charge, with refined, varied and exquisitely sophisticated arrangements."

"The Look Of Love is the stand out from the album, but the rest of the Bacharach tracks are perfect for this perfectly cheesy Bond parody."

"This is not the 1960s of Haight-Ashbury, Jimi Hendrix, and Grace Slick; it is instead the playboy tuxedoed 1960s swinger: hip, sophisticated, and playful. And Bacharach not only does an over the top riff on the score, he also cleverly gives the whole pastiche a surprisingly retro feel. The orchestrations are top notch, and very espionage evocative. Plus you get Dusty Springfield crooning what could be the most sensual mainstream pop song in history."

"As soon as you listen to the main theme, performed by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, you know straight away this music is anything but serious. Burt Bacharach's zany score perfectly complements the James Bond spoof Casino Royale. What makes this music successful is that is it the exact opposite of what you would expect in a real Bond film."
