Notes

  1. That is to say, authorized by creator Ian Fleming, himself.
  2. For 1954 “Casino Royale” television episode, see “Additional Classifications” page.
  3. See “Background” sections on Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983) pages.
  4. Both Rolex references 168000 and 16610 appeared as if the same, one James Bond wristwatch in this motion picture; each may fully claim to have been “the” Licence to Kill chronometer.
  5. Albert R Broccoli [4] passed away on June 27, 1996 — making this the last motion picture with which any party to the 1961 books-to-films franchise deal was involved.
