Avis à la une
The exotic locations in Brazil are pretty good; as mentioned in other comments, some of this, including some plot points, seems to have been copied by an actual later Bond film, "Moonraker," though one could argue this happened because this copies earlier Bond films such as "Thunderball" and "Dr.No." The story has some slow parts in the first half, meandering as the hero follows villains and vice-versa. This is reflected in the film's music score, which has a lazy, easy style to it, even during action sequences. As the hero, Connors also ambles his way through, usually laconic or sarcastic, depending on the scene, but projecting toughness. This was just before he began his 8-year run as tough TV private eye "Mannix." To give you an idea of the humor, there's a recurring theme of the hero's fondness for bananas. Things pick up in the latter half when the action shifts to the sci-fi stronghold of the villain. I've heard that this film is a favorite of Quentin Tarantino's.

Well, it is.
Even the sequence in the bedroom where Bond and the CIA grrl show each other their gadgets is straight out of "Kiss the Girls...".
Most of the female actresses are forgettable, particularly the one who develops into the lead. The arch villain is threatening, but also not maximized, and his henchman is particularly uninteresting, and unconvincing as a bad guy. THe film switches up between serious and campy, and it's just not written clever enough to pull it off.
That said, the movie is visually gorgeous, with shots of a Rio De Janiero in the late 1960s, with one fantastic interior after another, a mix of Brazilian culture with mid-century modern. You want to see a Rolls Royce driving a jungle road? You'll see it here. It's too bad the leads weren't more engaging, or given more character in the script to work with.
The plot of "Kiss the Girls" is actually pretty similar to "Moonraker"...an official Bond movie which seems like a parody of itself due to all the gadgets and the silly sci-fi plot. And, like "Moonraker", the baddie hopes to wipe out the human race so he and his bevvy of sexy ladies in suspended animation can repopulate the planet!
Out to stop him in Ageny Kelly of the CIA (Mike Connors), a banana-chomping secret agent who is tough but not nearly as competent as Bond. To make up for his deficiencies, a female British agent (Dorothy Provine) helps along with a HUGE number of gadgets that she and her chauffeur (Terry-Thomas) have at their disposal.
So is this any good? Well, it's not dull. But it also isn't very good either. Connors is fine in the lead though later in the story he seems to have very little to do. Provine is terrible, as she seems about as British as a taco! Plus all the gadgets get to be pretty silly after a while. Overall, a curiosity more than a good movie...but one that isn't dull at all.

- AnecdotesMike Connors has said that he performed the stunt where he hangs from a rope attached to a helicopter flying around the Christ the Redeemer Statue because a local Brazilian stuntman refused to do it.

Mr. Ardonian: Miss Soong should have noticed this is the second time she has been here and second time translating. This time there are two of Ardonian's guards who are armed and the large portal doorway next to her is open. This door was closed the last time and there were no guards.Soong has no idea what Ardonian has planned for the Chinese delegation and her.
Wilma Soong: [Soong is confused as Ardonian didn't notify her this was going to happen. So Soong Is completely in the the dark on this. She will sit and wait for this to develope. So she is following Ardonian's lead]
Mr. Ardonian: [Ardonian says] I want you to be perfectly clear on this and I want to eleaviate your worries once an for all
[He turns up a switch and electrocutes the Chinese delegation]
Mr. Ardonian: ELECTRICAL BUUUUZZZZZ .
[They are all dead leaning back in their chairs with their eyes wide open looking up at the ceiling with their mouths open their heads leaning backwards. Twitching back and forth in their chairs.They look like a pile of dead mackerel at the fish store]
Wilma Soong: [Soong leaps to her feet and jumps up,she is in complete disbelief she is still holding her microphone she looks over at the Chinese delegation and they all have their heads tilted back eyes looking straight up mouths wide open. Soong is gawking and her mouth is wide open. She can only make a gasping sound] gasping sound
[then Soong looks back over at the delegation still cannot fathom what has happened. She looks over at Ardonian and let's out with a shrill screech]
Wilma Soong: shrill screech Soong is starting to hyperventilate and is going into shock she says to Ardonian
[Then she is hyperventilating and gasps]
Wilma Soong: gasp
[Soong can't believe how the seven man delegation are all looking up with their eyes wide open looking up and their mouths wide open]
Mr. Ardonian: [Ardonian looks over at the Chinese delegation and thinks he has completely fooled them getting the much needed rocket he needed to sterilize the world .He lets out a very sinister laugh] very sinister laugh
[Ardonian wasn't happy that the Chinese held him up and kept him wondering when and if they were going to agree to his plan.Then his attention turns to Miss Soong. Ardonian starts to look at Soong up and down as she stands there hysterically hyperventilating, nothing like the very cool sly fox that was in his office only a few hours earlier.]
Wilma Soong: [Soong looks at Ardonian and finally drops her microphone and screams out] WHY, WHY
[she starts to charge Ardonian. She is having a very hard time breathing and she is taking very deep breaths. Soong is hyperventilating with nerves]
Wilma Soong: she then rushes toward Ardonian.
Mr. Ardonian: [Two of Ardonian's guards grab Soong one under each arm. Between the jumping up to her feet and the guards grabbing her arms Soong's dress is pulled skin tight on her. Ardonian looks at the extremely nervous hyperventilating Soong and let's out with another] very sinister laugh .
[Directed at Soong. He says to Soong]
Mr. Ardonian: you should be very grateful you are still alive.
[sinister laugh]
Mr. Ardonian: Ardonian. gives Soong a very sinister laugh.
[Soong doesn't answer him but continues to breathe deeply her chest heaving up and down. Soong's breasts are heaving up and down with her deep breaths. Her dress is very tight on her chest and her belly. Ardonian looks Soong all over.She has a very perplexed look on her face trying to figure out what has happened. Only a minute ago she was finishing up this assignment now what?He turns to the guards saying]
Mr. Ardonian: Take her to the preparation room they are expecting her.And after she has been prepared bring her to my laboratory I want her taken care of as soon as possible
[Ardonian looks at Soong and yells]
Mr. Ardonian: OUT ! Ardonian was watching Soong's breasts heave up and down . He knows exactly what he is going to have done to Soong and how humiliated she will be.
[the guards turn and one grabs Soong's bag and start to walk Soong away. Soong is fighting them but she is completely powerless against the two powerful men. Soong is fighting with all her might but it is useless. Ardonian looks at Soong being taken away by the guards and gives the usual sinister laugh.Soong thought she was finishing her assignment and after the rocket launches she could go back to her real life existence, now she has no idea what will become of her.]
