Mr. Ardonian: [at Ardonian's study, Ardonan walks in and sees the Chinese agent Miss Wilma Soong waiting for him] I was beginning to think you weren't going to come . The rocket was ready two days ago.
Wilma Soong: Well, We are ready now!
Mr. Ardonian: And the money ?
Wilma Soong: Already deposited at the institution you had previously requested. They have requested that I accompany you to the launch site.
Mr. Ardonian: Certainly, meet me hear ar 2 o'clock this afternoon
[Ardonian is thinking the Chinese decision to have Soong go with him to the rocket launch site is perfect. He will have his eyes on Soong all day and he will be sure she will be there when he pulls the rug from under the Chinese and kill them. Then it'll be Soong's turn]
Mr. Ardonian: You certainly kept you part of the bargain.
Wilma Soong: We always do. Mr. Ardonian

It's a spoof of other spy films, but it never goes too far overboard with the parody like Austin Powers, which is what I love about it. The main character is not an unbelievable buffoon, but a smart, capable, sophisticated spy—not unlike James Bond but with his own, funny personality—with a few good one-liners and who appreciates a good banana. Sure, it's very cheesy at times, but that is balanced with a generous helping of action and a decent storyline, topped off with spot-on performances and fun dialogue. There is one stunt in particular, involving a helicopter and a well-known Brazilian statue that had me on the edge of my seat.
This movie is both funny and tense. It's never boring, and every scene has something good in it. Mike Connors is great in the lead role, and he's backed up by some outstanding performances by Susan Fleming and Raf Vallone. However, I particularly enjoyed Terry-Thomas' pitch-perfect performance in the role of an unassuming chauffeur with a few tricks up his sleeve.
I saw this film at a revival house in Los Angeles many decades after its release. I was initially intrigued because of the awesomely hilarious title and the strange but funny trailer I'd seen played the previous week at the same theater. Everyone in the theater laughed and had a good time, but after it was over I overheard some of the other people in the theater say that it was so bad it was good. I didn't get that feeling. I just felt like it was good. I haven't been able to find it on home video and I get the feeling that it never received a wide home video release, if any, but if you get a chance to watch it I highly recommend it.
