[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 2663046, member: 1264"] Yeah. Don't bother comparing it to any "real" Bond movie of course! But compared to any other superspy parody out there (including the recent Austin Powers crap), it holds up really well. Not the best movie by Sellers, Allen, or for that matter any of the other big-shot cast names (Ursula Andress, David Niven , Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, Jean-Paul Belmondo, ...) by any stretch. But still a very enjoyable movie if you don't have a religious obejection against poking fun at the genre and don't mind some absurd plot twists... And heck, they *did* include a good chunk of Ian Fleming's original plot. Including some bits you're guaranteed [i]not[/i] to see in the latest "serious" interpretation. (Check the trivia section on IMDB for why there's a carpet beater hanging from the side of Orson Welles's chair, for example! :eek: :lol: ) [/QUOTE]
