How it feels

A bumbling secret agent who is a spoof of James Bond is sent on a mission to stop a one-eyed supervillain. The film makes fun of spy movie tropes from the 1960s.

What happens

James Tont operazione D.U.E. or The Wacky World of James Tont is a 1966 spy film spoof based on James Bond's Thunderball and featuring elements predating the release of You Only Live Twice. Directed by Bruno Corbucci, the Eurospy spy-fi comedy adventure is the sequel to James Tont operazione U.N.O. (1965). Lando Buzzanca reprises his role as 00 Agent James Tont, a satire of James Bond and Loris Gizzi as the black monocle-wearing supervillain spoof of Emilio Largo. Following this film Corbucci wrote a parody of Our Man Flint called Il vostro super agente Flit (1966), directed by Mariano Laurenti. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
