1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This DVD Edtion!!!, August 29, 2008

By	Sebastian Sanjurjo "mr.movie expert" (Miami FL) - See all my reviews

Casino Royale (The Collector's Edition)

The above link is the directory to the complete version of Casino Royale (1954)

be warned that this long awaited DVD is a bootleg, truncated edition of the televised classic. it is represented in a poor transfer, much worse than previous ones. it looks like a 3rd generation copy of a VHS. Also the movie is missing the final confrontation between Bond and Le Chifre.

Don't get me wrong, the rating is not for the movie, its for the edition that is available on DVD; and not to mention that is overly priced. you can find this DVD edition for $ 1 in Wal- Mart. Even if it's that cheap don't purchase it. Please obtain the VHS special collector's edition from Spy Guise Entertainment. Please read my review on the VHS completed version. There you will see the specification, special Features of the VHS collector's edition.

MY PERSONAL RATING: (for the edition only) 1 OUT OF 5
MY PERSONAL RATING: (for the movie) 3 OUT OF 5

1.0 out of 5 stars WHY?, February 10, 2008

By	Kevin L. Jones - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Why on earth is this so expensive? You can buy the original Casino Royale for a dollar at Wal-mart, or you can get it and the David Niven version for $7.50 or less (I bought both)... Hell, you can get the other dvd with both versions through Amazon for less than 5 bucks...
