Spock-6's rating
The Return of the Beverly Hillbillies was a fair effort, but was setback mainly by the losses of Irene Ryan (Granny) and Raymond Bailey (Mr. Drysdale). Add to that the absence of Max Baer as Jethro.
However, the remainder of the original cast does perform the best they can. The addition of Imogene Coco as Granny's Maw is a proper way to fill the shoes of Ryan, and Werner Klemperer gives a hilarious performance. Yhr replacement Jethro, is nothing like the genuine article. Jethro's hillbilly accent was wonderfully delivered during the original series, and this imitation was a horrible, but noble attempt to bring the character back.
In the end, this movie is very much watchable, and worth viewing in its rare showings on television.

An excellently performed and well written film! I got to see this film on its opening day on the very first showing of the day.
Many of the scenes are firsts in the Bond series, and the action scenes are really great! And especially all the references to the past films, especially Halle Berry's entrance, were wonderful!

How could the producers do this to such a brilliant actor as Sean Connery. The movie seems to be like an overblown comedy at times, and merely gives us the simple lesson that Connery should have said no to even doing this awful picture. No wonder Roger Moore's regular Bond beat this one out in theaters.
