CGiii Comment

Dreadful theme song...

Faux Scottish accents that will offend every ear on the planet.

Monica Vitti...the epitome of bad casting.

Dirk Bogarde playing a gay villain...what were you thinking?!?

Terence Stamp...a squeaky-voiced cockney...what were you thinking?!?

Losey has made some damn fine films and some abominable tripe - Modesty Blaise is  gut-wrenching tripe.

The(ir) Blurb...

Modesty Blaise (Monica Vitti), a secret agent whose hair color, hair style, and mod clothing change at a snap of her fingers, is being used by the British government as a decoy in an effort to thwart a diamond heist. She is being set-up by the feds, but is wise to the plot, and calls in sidekick Willie Garvin (Terence Stamp) and a few other friends to outsmart them. Meanwhile, at his island hideaway, Gabriel (Sir Dirk Bogarde), the diamond thief, has his own plans for Blaise and Garvin.
