ok connery (1967)


aka Operation Kid Brother. Operation Double 007.
"Freedom always has a price tag attached to it."
A crime syndicate tries to take over the world. Unfortunately for us a certain Scottish spy is unavailable, so the secret service call in his plastic surgeon brother, Neil (Neil Connery). Fortunately he seems more than capable of taking the bad guys on.
Unable to make a James Bond movie, these Italians decide to employ many of the actors from the series, including Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell, and make their own version. Giving us a kitsch run through of the 007 cliches, featuring a bad guy (Adolfo Celi), and plenty of beautiful women. Even the music riffs off the famous 007 theme, courtesy of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai.
