Val Guest was one of several directors to work on the spoof James Bond film "Casino Royale" (1967). After the early departure of Peter Sellers from the project, producer Charles K. Feldman asked Guest if he would direct linking material to make what was left uncompleted a coherent narrative. Feldman initially wanted Guest to be given the credit of 'Supervising Director', but when Guest saw the finished product, he opted for an 'Additional Sequences' credit instead.
