Bergen is wonderful as always and the spoof of Bond was great fun. Shows again what could be done without all the special effects. Clever, with social messages about blood diamonds, the economic infuluence of the 1%, gender roles, treatment of employees.

You will see Charles Grodin and Candice Bergen acting well in a truly boring movie. We had to try three times to get through it all. We kept hoping it would get better. The best line, "I'm a skilled driver." couldn't save this early 70's attempt at humorous suspense.
