Facts about

The movie had two major re-releases with two other James Bond films: The first was with From Russia with Love in 1968 and the other was with You Only Live Twice from 1970 until 1972. The latter pairing was billed as "the two biggest Bonds of all."
Singer/actor Burl Ives was originally chosen to play Largo when author Ian Fleming and producer Kevin McClory first tried to get the Bond series up and running in the late 1959.
