This was something that failed to catch my attention when I first saw the film back in November but upon re-viewing it on DVD this week, the question struck me: 'Why did they not show a 7?' Was it just that the sixth floor was the elevator's destination? Does the building even have a seventh floor? Was it a totally arbitrary decision or could there be some other reason why chose to cut away on the '6?' Inside, the numbers shown counting up are 3, 4, 5 and 6 before it cuts to a shot of him entering his office.

or as they call it in England, a 'lift' (although the scene takes place in Prague and I happen to live in America). There's a moment early on in Casino Royale where a character named Dryden, a traitor to the British government, is seen going up in an elevator.
