The other two James Bond characters were portrayed by David Niven and Woody Allen.

The film was a spoof of the 1953 Ian Fleming novel, which was the first novel to feature the character James Bond.

„Mr. Bianajee“ as the Indian producer and main actor in the Indian version of „My Fair Lady,“ the American narrator (and British voices) in „Balham, Gateway to the South,“ Frederico Fabrizzi in „After The Fox,“ and,of course, Chauncy Gardener in „Being There.“

My favorite is one you mentioned: "After the Fox" (1966). Mr. Sellers was great in his comedic portrayal of criminal mastermind Aldo Vanucci.
