Last & Next Movie Watched

MI. Wasn't crazy about it, and it proved my instinct prescient.

Was hoping to still catch The Phoenician Affair

We watched the 50th Anniversary showing of "Jaws" last night. Mrs. Foxbat had never seen the whole movie start to finish. It still holds up after all these years. And she jumped at the right times, too!

I remember seeing that on TV as a kid and thinking what a fun and silly romp. Mama Foxbat had the Ian Fleming book "Casino Royale" on the bookshelf so I thought I would read it. I peaked at the last page and saw that it was NOTHING like the movie I knew.

That's because Charles K. Fieldman, the movie's producer acquired the film rights to Casino Royale in 1960. He made an attempt with EON producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to have it made with their franchise, but an agreement was never made. He then decided to make it as a Bond spoof and had the story rewritten.
