    That does not count. It is the kind of stuff people wore in 1971.
    I don't think that what the guy wore was all that camp, but it may be regarded as camp by mainly because what he wore wasn't a big deal in 1971. An argument could be made it is campy because, while when the film was made, the clothes were chosen because they reflected what people wore back then, but now, nobody would be caught dead wearing some of the fashion from the film. :))
    The majority of Bond films are campy; it is what the series was intended to be. Why complain about one Bond film being campy when 19 of them are that way?
    I don't agree with that. Perhaps because my definition of camp is more limited than other people's on this site, I have never considered the Bond films to be particularly campy. In fact DAF is really the only Bond film which I would define as campy.

    BTW, what are the two film which you do not consider to be campy?

And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman

    Roger Moore in Moonraker is campy.

    Daniel Craig in Casino Royale is intense... ;)

    Oh, please yourselves...
