Maxwell Smart first fumbled his way into our hearts and homes when two of comedy's finest, Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, put pen to paper and created Get Smart, one of the most beloved TV series of the 1960s, ushering in a completely new genre: the secret agent satire. We would have no Naked Gun, no Austin Powers, had Get Smart not paved the way.
But for those who weren't even born when Max uttered his first "missed it by that much," or for those who avoid Nick-at-Night reruns like the plague,...
Nice interview. I was a little skeptical when I first heard about this movie, but I saw a preview for it yesterday and now I think it looks pretty damn good.
i saw the sneak peek and it was much funnier than i thought it was going to be! i was and still am in shock of this fact rather than pleasantly surprised. either way it's a good feeling.
yeah, i agree. i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it. Alan Arkin is great... he and James Caan (as the president) have one of the most hilarious exchanges of dialog ever. also, Terence Stamp was a delight. i mean, come on, it's General Zod!
