On the anniversary of its broadcast, watch Casino Royale with its original ending

Casino Royale In Casino Royale (2006), 007 takes down Le Chiffre over a casino gaming table at the casino in order to financially embarrass him. Daniel Craig wears a Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial and a Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial.

For many viewers who have seen the 1954 live television production of Casino Royale on a home media format, the credits rolled with James Bond slumped in his chair after 50 minutes. This is not how the original production ended back on October 21st, 1954.

Two minutes of the original production was curtailed from the version that had a wide release through MGM and bonus features over the years.

The complete version restores the final confrontation between Bond and Le Chiffre in which Bond comes out victorious, and there is a traditional Bond ending 'with a kiss' and then the announcer appears for a message before the credits (as originally broadcast).

Presented below is the version released by MGM, followed by the additional two minutes missing from home releases.
