James Bond contre le Grand Smerch !
Décidément, rien ne va plus dans les services secrets de sa très gracieuse majesté ! James Bond, dépressif, part à la retraite. Les services secrets recherchent donc d'autant un nouveau 007 que l'impitoyable "Grand Smerch" passe à l'attaque, via son pire criminel, un fan de baccarat nommé "Le Chiffre." La suite ne saurait se raconter sinon que le Grand Smerch est interprété par Woody Allen, Le Chiffre par Orson Wells et le nouveau 007 par Peter Sellers, notre inénarrable inspecteur Clouzot dans "La Panthère Rose". Ajoutez Deborah Kerr en testeuse sensuelle de futurs 007, une otarie, des Sioux parachutistes (il faut vivre avec son temps), la cavalerie (en retard, bien sûr), des tas d'espions partout dans les pissotières, des cabines téléphoniques anti-mur et le paradis lui-même devient un enfer ! John Huston a toujours nié avoir pris conseil auprès de son ami Blake Edouards (la Panthère Rose, The Party) pour arriver à ficeler cet extravagant délire. Qu'importe, la mise en scène et le grand spectacle sont au rendez-vous pour nous inviter à la fine fleur de la comédie. Un délice !

Petit format
Le format du film est très petit car au format 4:3 (= bandes noires sur les côtés) de plus, comme le film est au format "widescreen", il y a aussi des bandes noires en dessous et au dessus. Bref sur un écran 16:9, le film ne reprsente que 1/2 de l'écran. Ceci dit, le film est excellent

Capolavoro di ingegneria comica
Film poco conosciuto, ma raffinato nella sua comicità spudorata, che vanta un cast interstellare da David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen ad Orson Welles, John Huston e qualche piacevolissimo cameo di George Raft, JP Belmondo e Peter O'Toole. Trovo che la versione italiana sia deliziata da un doppiaggio sopraffino dei migliori doppiatori italiani dell'epoca. Con musiche di Burt Bacarach.
A comedic tour de force for David Niven and Deborah Kerr. Forget about Peter Sellers.
This is not for every James Bond fan. It is a must for every David Niven fan. Without David Niven, this film would sink into the abyss of misfiring satires. This is about as silly as one could conceive. It is a comedic tour de force for both David Niven and Deborah Kerr. David Niven is the 'original James Bond'. it is one of Peter Sellers worst performances; he seemed to have a vision of his role which is at odds with the intention of the film (silliness and satire). Structurally, it's a mess. The best and most coherent part is at the beginning up to the point where Peter Sellers gets involved, then all of the scenes involving David Niven or his character's (and Mata Hari's) daughter, Mata Bond, played by Joanna Pettet. Woody Allen makes his on screen film debut, but comes across as stiff and uncomfortable, even beyond the parameters of the role. Ursula Andress is convincing as the money obsessed Vesper Lynd. By this point in her career, her English is quite good and she seems comfortable in front of the camera. Barbara Bouchet as Miss Moneypenny (introduced as the original Moneypenny's daughter) is excellent. Orson Wells is a lot of fun as Le Chiffre, a baccarat player who does magic tricks, which apparently irritated Peter Sellers no end. The character Cooper, played by Terence Cooper (no relation?) is very good. There are lots of others interesting performances scattered throughout the film; John Huston, for instance, is terrific as the ill-fated 'M'. Fortunately, Peter Sellers walked off the picture before he completed his scenes. The downside of that is the fragmentation of the rest of the film. This is a film that makes most sense to those of us who survived the 1960s. Music is by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Any more, folks are only vaguely aware of Herb Alpert from his music label A&M (Alpert & Moss). He was enormously popular in the mid-ish 1960s. I think I still have a couple of his LPs somewhere. This is funnier if you have already seen the more contemporary 'Casino Royal'. If you see that film after this one, as I did, you will find it's weird how many parts they have in common. Of course reality is changed to confuse the innocent.

Hugely Enjoyable Bond Spoof
I absolutely love this film. Which is not to say that it's strictly a very good film. Or even just a good one. It is a huge mess - the fact that five different directors (among them the great John Huston who also appears in a small part) were involved in the making of it should be enough to tip you off to that fact. It's very much a case of love it or hate it. This is 1960s psychedelic fun on a cosmic scale. Everybody who was anybody in the world of film at the time is in this. And not only from the English speaking world. You even find France's favourite action star Jean Paul Belmondo in this madcap Bond conundrum. David Niven (who apparently was Bond author Fleming's first choice to play the superspy in the 'proper' adaptions of his books) is basically showing Mr Fleming the finger. He seems to take great pleasure in making the character of Bond look as ridiculous as he possibly can. Peter Sellers and Woody Allen reunite after What's New Pussycat? and add to the fun and confusion. It's all totally harebrained and outrageous. But if you're in the mood for it, it will provide a couple of hours of laughs nonstop. Great film to watch with like minded friends over drinks. Preferably 60s style cocktails as colourful as the film itself. The Burt Bacharach score is memorable and probably the only genuinely good part of the film. Apart from that it's really a disjointed series of Bond themed comedy skits: the chase with the milkfloat, the grouse shoot, Woody Allen escaping the firing squad, the mounted guardsman snatching the girl in a London street and galloping straight up the ramp of a flying saucer... yep, loads of crazy stuff. And yes, I realize this review is as disjointed as the film itself. Which seems befitting. Oh yes, and the DVD is perfectly serviceable. The picture is nice with good vibrant colours and the sound quality is very nice (the original soundtrack is presented here in a digitally restored version). The DVD I purchased has subtitles in English and various other languages (also dubbed audio tracks in German, French, Italian and Spanish).
