Niven played Bond in a Casino Royale spoof film. There were rights issues because a guy named Charles Feldman had the rights to make that film because of a deal Flemming made years earlier and CBS made an American version with actor Barry Nelson playing Jimmy Bond and Peter Lorre playing Le Chiffe. You can find it on YouTube.
