Missing characters edit

Woody Allen's character needs to be added since he was the main villain. We should also have sections for the Detainer, Coop, and Lady McTarry as well. 23skidoo 19:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Geraldine Chaplin as a Keystone Cop? edit

This one sounds a bit dubious. I think a source should be added for this one. 23skidoo (talk) 18:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

The only source is the film itself as it was an uncredited role. If you watch the final sequence of the film you will see her in all the mayhem.

  • Uh, that's not really good enough. For one thing Keystone cops are usually covered in hats and moustaches. Are we basing this upon someone saying "so and so looks like Geraldine Chaplin" or is there a source out there that actually says Chaplin was in the movie? If all we have is someone making guesswork then that violates WP:NOR and WP:BLP (although it wouldn't really qualify as libel) and would need to be removed. 23skidoo (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Here's a reference for Geraldine Chaplin in Casino Royale [1].
You can see a photo of Geraldine Chaplin with Richard Talmadge as Keystone Kops in Casino Royale here
[2]
Geraldine Chaplin does not wear a moustache and is clearly identifiable in the photo.
That's two references for Geraldine Chaplin in Casino Royale.

Excellent. Now all you need to do is actually put these in the article and WP:CITE is satisfied. Note by the way the first source says Chaplin is actually playing an homage to the Tramp (though Charlie to my knowledge never actually played a Keystone Cop but I might be wrong). And I'm not singling out Chaplin for special treatment; under Wikipedia citation policy we should actually site sources for all the uncredited actors (and unfortunately the IMDb is not considered a good source) 23skidoo (talk) 14:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Page move proposal edit

I'd like to suggest that this article be moved to List of characters in Casino Royale (1967) for the following reasons: 1. The title is incorrect and redundant, plus not every character listed is James Bond. 2. There are two major films by the name Casino Royale, and this one should be disambiguated at the title level to avoid confusion with the 2006 film. I'm not listing this at Wikipedia:Requested moves on the grounds that the campaign to remove "List of ..." articles from the project might be attracted by such a listing. I'd rather seek consensus with folks who have this on this watchlist (though I'll also mention it on the JB Wikiproject page. Thoughts? 23skidoo (talk) 15:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Giovanna Goodthighs? edit

What's the source for the character's first name? I thought she was only ever referred to as Miss Goodthighs in the film. 23skidoo (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

A game of 'wurseling' edit

Re: Agent Mimi.
This is Britain, so it would be "wurselling", double L.
But "wurzel" is a way of saying mangelwurzel, a vegetable mainly used as animal fodder.
So the game could be "wurzelling", where "wurzel" has a connotation of country bumpkin.
There is in fact a wurzel-based sport called "mangold hurling". See the above link.

David Hemmings and David McCallum edit

I cannot find a single reference to either actor appearing in this film in a credited or uncredited role. IMdb doesn't indicate that they are in it (not that I'm suggesting that that is an infallible source).--Stevouk (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I just watched the film on UK ITV and thought I saw David McCallum for a few moments against a bar in the casino scene near the end when all mayhem has begun. There is mention of him appearing on at least two websites: (a) the Mountain Express site about the film and (b) the Film Reference website about McCallum's career, although I have never visited either website before and do not know whether or not they meet Wikipedia's criteria. --Ortonian (talk) 01:00, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
