The cast includes the memorably-mugged Dominique Pinon as Louison, a former circus clown who becomes a most unlikely, but undeniably appealing, hero; Marie- Laure Dougnac as Julie, the cello-playing naïf who catches his eye; and Jean-Louis Dreyfus...

Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, this inspired spoof of the James Bond craze stars the inimitable Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 of CONTROL, as he stumbles and bumbles his way through an ongoing battle with the nefarious forces of enemy agency KAOS.

who’s overseeing the operation and is miffed that ex-girlfriend and fellow team member Abby (Connie Britton) has been dallying with resident scientist Jim Hoffman (James Le Gros) in his absence.

To commemorate (and cash in on) the latest installment of Universal’s big-budget adventure franchise, the studio has reached back into its vaults to issue a special-edition re-release (yes, another one) of the original 1932 horror classic.
