Unless you like the Platters.
The well meaning but totally outlandish story is about a smaller guy who gets to look like Superman and James Bond for a change only in the cheap setting of a 50s Bar/hangout.
The unrealistic way the story unfolds doesn't give you anything to bother about. So if you enjoy the fantasy that every bad guy eventually get their just desserts via a smaller loudmouth righteous tough guy who bullies and dominates them for a change, not only gets away with winning every argument and fight he starts with those, but acts like a total superhuman in the process, then you might like it a bit.
Due to the main character's absolute omnipotence against the other impotent characters, the appeal of a smaller guy as a saving the day and the helpless loses appeal. It's too convenient to the story to make the hero look too powerful and the villains look too meek.
It's a cheap looking fifties movie shot around the music of the time. It wasn't meant to be more than light drive in background fare. Acting was adequate for the paper thin plot and it's corresponding characters.
It could easily have been better if it had a bit more substance and dimension to the characters and story. But I guess that never is the intention at all in making such a movie.
