Casino Royale was in fact the FIRST Bond novel. Flemming was desperate to get his character on film through any medium. This was the first attempt.
Casino Royale may well have been Fleming's first Bond novel, but the movie came out in 1967, and David Niven played Bond, not Barry Nelson. I cannot find any reference to a movie or TV show by that title released in the 50's. Is there any more information available?
