Modesty Blaise
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

Joseph Losey's adaptation of the comic strip, starring Monica Vitti as a spy--a deliriously campy and at times angry parody of James Bond films, pop art, op art, and a lot else that was modish in 1966. It's too perverse at times to work entirely on its own terms, but the lively cast--including Dirk Bogarde, Terence Stamp, and Harry Andrews--keeps it watchable. It certainly survives as an interesting period piece. 119 min.
