Me too for Dalton !

And I cannot recollect in which interview Micheal Cane talks about Clint Eastwood refusing James bond Role. And I have seen the interview of Clint Eastwood (can't remeber which one - I think its just after "Any Which Way You Can" or "Every Which Way but Loose" ... ) where he tells that he is NOT "Bond" type with a crooked smile

I wanted to ask : Why is "Casino Royale" by Peter Sellers and "Never say Never again" not considered as "Bond" series. Is it because of different production house or is their any other reason ?
