...might expect a movie with so many creators to suffer from a certain unevenness of style. Not so. Casino Royale is guided through its 131 minutes by the same matchless bad taste. My own suspicion is that the budget, huge as it must have been, somehow ran out before Feldmann had thought to hire a screenwriter.

Beyond all this, the reader may well conclude that Disraeli's greatest gift was for acupuncture, which he practiced with matchless skill on all the pomposities of his era. He was a swinger for all seasons...
Breadwinner. Vivien's physical domination of the stage comes from matchless body control, the result of ballet training, which she began at the age of three with her mother, a dance teacher.

It is all good fun and, despite the Slavic sameness of it all, for sheer exuberance and whoopee making the folk dancers from Eastern Europe are matchless. Americans apparently cannot get enough of them...
