One of the hundreds of spy movies that turned up in the wake of the Bond phenomenon in the Sixties, 'Otley' is an insignificant example of the genre. Not quite sure if it is a full-blown spoof, or a light-hearted spy caper, it ends up being neither. It's basis seems to be the antithesis of the Bond films, and the other big budget espionage thrillers of the time, with much of the emphasis being on the mundane. There are lots of moments with government agents and assassins making tea, and looking after the children, and very little in the way of explosions and hi-tech gadgetry. Actually, this is quite a nice touch, which benefits from Tom Courtenay's 'lad-about-town' performance. Fairly diverting for an afternoon's viewing, but hardly a classic.
