Once Upon A Spy (1980)

When a NASA mega-computer is stolen, the government calls on a wisecracking computer expert (Ted Danson) to help track it down. Partnered with a female agent (Mary Louise Weller), they discover that a mysterious and powerful millionaire (Christopher Lee) is in control of the computer and plans to use it to take over the world. Directed by Ivan Nagy (PUSHING UP DAISIES). This lame excuse for a spy thriller attempts to be a James Bond homage or ripoff (take your choice) and even the title credits are a pale imitation of the marvelous Maurice Binder images created for the Bond movies. As the reluctant spy, Danson isn't a patch on Sean Connery or even Roger Moore. Rather than James Bond, the telefilm invokes THE MAN FROM UNCLE and even there, it comes in a distant second. With Eleanor Parker and Leonard Stone.
