The second feature-length revival of the
Get Smart television series (1965-1970) of blessed memory,
Get Smart Again reunited
Don Adams as bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart and
Barbara Feldon as his wife, sultry "fellow" agent 99. Smart coerces 99 to drop her public-sector job and join him in thwarting the evil machinations of their old nemesis Siegfried (
Bernie Kopell). Other alumni from the original TV series include
Dick Gautier as Hymie the Robot,
Robert Karvelas (Don Adams' cousin) as Larrabee,
King Moody as Starker and
Dave Ketchum as the ubiquitous Agent 13. A few concessions have been made to the passage of time (Smart's fabled shoe-phone now has "call waiting"), but the film scores highest on its nostalgic appeal, encapsulated by such catch-phrases as "Sorry about that", "Would you believe?" and "Missed it by that much."
Get Smart, Again was first telecast February 26 (would you believe February 27?), 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
