!!Provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The ending greatly simplifies the ending of the novel. Whereas in the novel [[spoiler:a SMERSH operative kills Le Chiffre and Vesper commits suicide after being revealed to have been a mole for the bad guys against her will]], here [[spoiler:Le Chiffre is killed by Bond himself and Valerie (Vesper's counterpart) survives]].
* AdaptationalNameChange: 
** James Bond's first name was changed to the more American-sounding Jimmy.
** Felix Leiter's first name was changed to Clarence.
* AdaptationalNationality: In this film, Bond is American and Leiter is British instead of the other way around.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Le Chiffre needs Bond to tell him where he stashed the cheque for his winnings at the Baccarat table, and decides to use a pair of pliers on Bond's feet to make him talk.
* BluffTheEavesdropper: Bond, knowing that Le Chiffre has a microphone in his hotel room, confronts Valerie about it. When he realizes that she knew nothing about it, he figures out that Le Chiffre also intends to test Valerie's loyalty and decides to go along with it.
* TheCasino: The titular casino where Bond and Le Chiffre play baccarat is one of only two locations in the film, the other being the hotel the characters are staying at.
* ChekhovsGun: We are told early on that Le Chiffre always carries three razor blades: one in his hat, one in his cigarette case, and one in his left shoe.
** The one in his cigarette case is used by Bond to escape from his restraints after Le Chiffre has captured and tortured him.
** The one in his hat is used by Le Chiffre to hold Valerie hostage at the very end.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Le Chiffre takes a pair of pliers to Bond's feet to make him talk.
* CompositeCharacter: Vesper Lynd and René Mathis are combined into a single character called Valerie Mathis. She gets the first letter of her first name and being Bond's love interest from the former, and her last name as well as [[spoiler:being a member of the Deuxième Bureau]] from the latter.
* CompressedAdaptation: The relationship between Vesper/Valerie and Bond is greatly simplified, one of the effects of which is that the long final section portraying the increasing tensions between them and [[spoiler:her confession and suicide]] is completely omitted.
* EarlyAdaptationWeirdness: Compared to the later Eon film series, this adaptation is noticeably different. James Bond is an American agent and referred to as "Jimmy", Felix Leiter is British and renamed to Clarence, M is completely absent, and the production values are lower due to being a live TV production.
* {{Exposition}}: Bond spends a significant amount of time explaining the rules of Baccarat to Leiter in order to make sure that the audience understands what's going on later when Bond and Le Chiffre are playing.
* HostageForMacGuffin: Le Chiffre eventually grabs Valerie and threatens Bond, demanding an exchange of her for Bond's winnings.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The film begins with someone shooting at Bond while his back is turned--and missing--from a few meters away.
* InSeriesNickname: Leiter knows Bond by the nickname "Card Sense" Jimmy Bond.
* LargeHam: Creator/PeterLorre seems to be doing a Creator/HumphreyBogart impression.
* OldFlame: Bond and Valerie have a past together, and they both still have feelings for each other.
* OnscreenChapterTitles: Each of the three acts is preceded with text showing up on screening stating the title and the act number.
* OpeningNarration: The film begins with ''Climax!'' host Creator/WilliamLundigan introducing the film and explaining what a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_(cards) shoe]] is.
* OrphanedSetup: In most prints of the film, the final minute or so is missing, meaning the setup of the razor blade in Le Chiffre's hat never gets any payoff.
* PrettyInMink: Valerie Mathis (the story's rough counterpart to Vesper) appears in a fur wrap, as do a number of background characters.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Valerie, this film's version of Vesper Lynd, survives.]]
* SwordCane: One of Le Chiffre's henchmen has a gun cane.
* TheUnreveal: In most existing prints, we get the following: Le Chiffre is shown groping for his hat--then the show ends. It had previously been mentioned that he kept a razor hidden there. In the rare prints that retain the full ending, Le Chiffre threatens Valerie with the razor [[spoiler:and is shot dead by Bond]].
