The end result is as coherent as an acid trip.
Like the novel and the Daniel Craig version Bond plays cards against Le Chiffre in Monte Carlo, but this seems to be a minor footnote to various meandering plot detours. But when a number of other double-O agents are killed the real Bond is recruited back in action. The basic outline goes like this… James Bond (David Niven) is secretly in retirement, but his name has been assumed by other agents in an effort to confuse their enemies. Instead it serves as a jumping off point for the myriad detours, set-pieces, skits, sketches, cameos which befit a variety show like “Laugh In”. Starring: Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Orson Welles, Woody Allenīefore Daniel Craig got really serious as the rebooting tough and coarse James Bond, there was this British swinging 60’s sex romp spoof of the iconic character.Įxplaining the plot is completely unnecessary, because it barely uses Ian Fleming’s original material. John Huston, Val Guest, Ken Hughes, Joseph McGrath, Robert Parrish
