Storyline
| Plot Summary |
An homage to classic spy films. It's 1955 and after a fellow agent and close friend disappears, secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a.k.a. OSS 117, is ordered to take his place at the head of a poultry firm in Cairo. This is to be his cover while he is busy investigating, foiling Nazi holdouts, quelling a fundamentalist rebellion, and bedding local beauties. Written by Signy |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The German title of this film, "OSS 117 --- Der Spion, der sich liebte," is a prank on the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). It literally means "OSS 117 --- The Spy Who Loved Himself." See more » |
| Goofs | When OSS 117 learns to count in Arabic, Larmina coaches him: "Wahed, Jouj...". She should be counting in Egyptian Arabic, but instead she uses Moroccan Arabic. An Egyptian would not use (or understand) "Jouj" for two. The word is "Itnayn". See more » |
