aka OK Connery
How bad is it? It's among the worst knock-offs of a popular film series as I can recall.
Should you see it? Unfortunately, no.
This stars non-actor Neil Connery, Sean Connery's little brother, playing a character called "Neil Connery." I'm guessing he was so bad at acting, they had to call him by his real name to get him to respond. The casting is brilliant: Bernard Lee ("M"), Lois Maxwell ("Moneypenny") and Daniela Bianchi and Anthony Dawson (both in "From Russia With Love"). The bad guys have a magnetic wave generator that will make all machinery useless, so they call in 007's brother (007 being unavailable, and no, they never state outright that it is 007), who is a hypnotist, an archer, a lip reader and a plastic surgeon. The case just happens to need a hypnotist, an archer, a lip reader and a plastic surgeon! How convenient!
