What I remember reading about the making of the 1967 spoof, is that Peter Sellers wanted to play the roll of Bond straight. Drug related personal and marriage problems with future “Bond Girl” Britt Ekland caused Sellers to abandon (and then be fired from) the production without all of his major scenes being filmed. Parts of the film are stylish and quite amusing, while other parts are just a waste of film. “The Look Of Love” and Herb Albert’s main title are excellent 60’s spy music. The soundtrack and songs for CR are IMHO the best parts. I do think they stand up next to the official Bond scores quality quite well.
