Yes, it's another cornball movie that would be unknown to modern audiences had it not appeared on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". "O.K. Connery" is also known as "Operation Kid Brother", although the version that appeared on MST3K is called "Operation 007". The movie is basically a James Bond knockoff, and a number of the cast member prove it. The star is Sean Connery's brother Neil, and it also stars Daniela Bianchi (Tatiana Romanova in "From Russia with Love"), Lois Maxwell (Miss Moneypenny), Bernard Lee (M), Adolfo Celi (Emilio Largo in "Thunderball") and Anthony Dawson (Professor Dent in "Dr. No"). Yeah, I wonder how they didn't get sued from copyright infringement.
As for MST3K's presentation, Joel, Servo and Crow riff the movie with mentions of Sukarno, Rue McClanahan and Paul Prudhomme, and references to "The Singing Nun" and "Leave It to Beaver". During one of the breaks, Joel struts around the Satellite of Love dressed as the movie's villain who watched a movie on the back of a scantily clad woman.
In the end, the movie might be kind of enjoyable on its own given all the half-dressed women, but MST3K's presentation is the real deal. And anyway, the really good James Bond knockoff from 1967 was John Huston's "Casino Royale" (the 2006 version was NOT a good movie; in fact, none of the James Bond movies have been any good since Sean Connery left).
Opus Dei indeed!
