If you want camp check out “The Silencers” with Dean Martin as semi-retired secret agent Matt Helm. You can’t tell if they did this movie straight-faced or if it was all designed to be a joke.

Oh, Matt Helm movies were pure parody.

Oh I’ve seen that one. It’s definitely a comedy. Stella Stevens gives an excellent comedice performance in a part that’s kinda like a mixture of Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe.

If I recall, that film was pretty risqué for its time? I may be mistaken, but I believe that at some point they cut out all the nudity/semi-nudity, which is the version most commonly found today.
