Orgy Girls highlight Casino Royale‘s most satirical sequence, in which top-ranking officers of the world’s armed forces bid in auction for Le Chiffre’s still shots of a previous night of piece-keeping operations. Brightening the frame-up photos are Playmate-Bunny Dolly Read, London model Samantha Jewell, draped in grapes, and Tony Burnett whose face is blocked from view but whose figure reveals her qualifications as England’s leading nude model. Miss Burnett is the featured attraction of The Naked World of George Harrison Marx, a continuing smash at first-run London theaters.
