Serenade for Two Spies

‘Serenade für zwei Spione’, FRG 1965, directed by Michael Pfleghar, Alberto Cardone, 85 min, German without subtitles, rated: 16

This screwball parody of the James Bond movies features John Krim, Agent 006. He’s on the trail of an FBI agent who is thought to be behind the theft of a laser rifle from a German laboratory and is allegedly working with a gang of arms dealers. Like his famous colleague 007, Krim stumbles from one adventure to the next, crossing seas and deserts. Bond girls feature too: Tamara and Goldfeather ensnare Krim in their web and pursue their own shadowy goals. Although some of the gags seem dated, the film remains a highlight of genre parody.

Featuring: Hellmut Lange, Tony Kendall, Barbara Lass, Wolfgang Neuss, Heidelinde Weis
