Viewing Notes

A late 70s spoof on James Bond that is mostly pretty fun despite being stuck the usual sexist trappings of the spy genre at the time. I don’t think they made any more of these w/the Charles Bind character but I would’ve watched them. It’s silly stuff but I enjoy the earnest approach the material. Falls somewhere between Bond and Get Smart.
