Did anybody else find this movie funny?

I'm pretty sure the writers and producers didn't intend for this to be a comedy but it seemed like it to me. It surprised me because I've seen the "Ipcress File" and that's pretty solid spy thrilling there. Haven't seen the others yet. But I saw this one mainly because of the cast and I saw that Ken Russell directed it, Billy Williams did the cinematography and Richard Rodney Bennett did the music.

Now that I've seen it, I was disappointed. I expected more thrills and more complex characters. The cast did a good job for what they were supposed to do. Ed Begdley gets the prize for the most hilarious villain. I don't think there was a scene he had that I didn't laugh at. Richard Rodney Bennett's score was less than expected, I found it rather loud and intrusive in some scenes.

My favorite things about the movie was Billy Williams cinematography. All of the scenes were shot perfectly. I'm pretty sure that he along with director Ken Russell didn't want to do this movie but they did the best they could with what they had.
