Casino Royale shot in many exciting locations around the world. The Bahamas, Czech Republic, Italy and the UK. In Venice, Italy, special permission was granted to the production to allow Bond’s yacht, the Spirit 54, to sail along the Grand Canal between the Accademia and Rialto Bridges, the first time a yacht sailed the Grand Canal for many years.

The set interior of the sinking house in Venice measured 45 ft by 40 ft and was 45 ft high. It was built around the existing indoor tank at Pinewood Studios which was increased to 20 ft so the whole set could sink 16 ft.
