...publicity stunt which quite literally ended all publicity stunts isn't even mentioned by Sack. At 1:00 a.m. on the morning of last May 4, 15,000 students began to collect outside the Sack Savoy for a 4 a.m. preview of Casino Royale--free, if you wore a "super sleuth trenchcoat." With the aid of police, a bona fide riot broke out. Meanwhile the theatre's assistant manager, having filled the 2,800 seats to capacity, began rolling the film early.

Knopf ordered a huge first printing of 70,000 copies, and Hollywood's Wolper Productions paid $500,000 for the movie rights...
What happens before the evening runs out looks simple, but isn't. Director Vic Koivumaki, rather than trying to tackle some strikingly original conception of this rather sober comedy, relies on a fairly traditional presentation. With lousy actors and an unsure director, such a conception would wind up an uninteresting bore. But in the hands of Koivumaki and his cast, the whole thing takes on a gentle charm that is contagious...
