The Original 1954 B&W Casino Royale is an extra on the MGM DVD release of 1967's Casino Royale Spoof. The problem with this version is that it's missing footage at the end, and is only 50 min long. A VHS tape of the 1954 T.V. Movie version was released by Spy Guise / Cara Video back in 1997. This VHS tape version had an approximate running time of 70 min, with the missing footage restored for the first time on home video. Now I belive Spy Guise could not get the rights to put this longer version out on DVD, and the VHS is the only way to see the entire program.
**EDIT** product currently available in general release.
