Andress appeared in the official Bond movies in Dr. The song was written specifically for Casino Royale and Bacharach has said the melody was inspired by seeing Ursula Andress in an early cut of the movie.
Bacharach and Hal David composed the song and Bacharach originally wrote it to be an instrumental, with David adding lyrics a short time later. One of the many contributions to the world of music and film from the late Burt Bacharach, who passed away last week, was “The Look of Love”, which was sung by Dusty Springfield and included on the soundtrack for 1967’s Casino Royale.
