Interestingly, the film Quantum of Solace has nothing to do with the Fleming story it shares a title with. The story is about Bond at a dinner party with a bunch of people who he despises, and a story of marital infidelity one of the guests tells.
For the film, they just made up a new story and used the title because they wanted to be able to say it was based on a Fleming sory.
And BTW- The earlier Casino Royale was not a Woody Allen film- he just happened to play a character in it. It was directed by seven different people and David Niven, who played Bond, was Ian Fleming's first choice to play Bond. It was the only time he got the honor.
