The Second Best Secret Agent In The Whole Wide World (1965)

This James Bond rip-off starts with a promising pre-credit sequence of an assassination in an British park involving a woman and some twin babies in a pram. Sammy Davis Jr. then sings the theme song before the excitement quickly comes to a halt.

The secret agent in question is Charles Vine (Tom Adams). He is brought in to protect a foreign scientist who has invented Re-Grav, a process that reverses gravity. The Russians want to get their hands on it and would do anything to get it, or so it seems. There are many attempts on the life of the scientist which Vine successfully foils. But who exactly is behind the killings: the Russians, the British or someone else?
