However, my re- acquaintance with it proved something of a minor revelation: while still as uneven as I recalled, I couldn't now deny that there were some delightful elements which, on the whole, made the film palatable and, at times, even endearing: Evan Jones' script was occasionally quite witty, Losey's own trademark odd compositions usually so overpowering in his melodramas suited the "anything goes" mood of the material, Jack Hildyard's glossy cinematography of attractive Mediterranean locations, outrageous outfits and groovy production design was top-notch and Losey's frequent composer Johnny Dankworth provided an infectious score.

Diane A. Rodgers Fathom (1967) Leslie H. Martinson DVD, region 1 release, PG, running time 99 mins Modesty Blaise (1966) Joseph Losey DVD, region 1 release, PG, running time 119 mins By the mid-1960s, swinging espionage flicks and the James Bond franchise had become firmly established at the box office, perfect for the playboy pop-art era. Bond even jumped feet first into the groovy new times with its own version of psychedelic surrealism in 1967's Casino Royale, using it-girl Twiggy in marketing campaigns, and the story including a number of strong female secret agents (including Ursula Andress as Vesper Lynd and Joanna Pettet as Mata Bond). Despite a lukewarm critical reception, Casino Royale was still successful enough to turn a decent profit, and a number of other espionage-action- adventure-parodies popped up, including some that were steadfastly female-led and suggestive of the politically progressive times. Modesty Blaise (1966) and Fathom (1967) are two such films, led by Monica Vitti and Raquel Welch respectively.

  • Violent Femmes: Women As Spies in Popular Culture / Rosie White
    Violent Femmes The female spy has long exerted a strong grip on the popular imagination. With reference to popular fiction, film and television Violent Femmes examines the figure of the female spy as a nexus of contradictory ideas about femininity, power, sexuality and national identity. Fictional repre- sentations of women as spies have recurrently traced the dynamic of women’s changing roles in British and American culture. Employing the central trope of women who work as spies, Rosie White examines cultural shifts during the twentieth century regarding the role of women in the professional work- place. Beginning with an examination of the male spy in popular fiction, White’s revealing book then moves on to examine female spies, comparing and contrasting numerous female spies in investigative case studies with the aim of answering the following questions: Howhavedepictionsofthefemalespychangedoverthetwentiethcentury? What can Modesty Blaise tell us about women in the 1960s and 1970s? Does Alias offer an ideal vision of the working woman in the twenty-first century? Are women in Western culture now seen as agents of their own futures? In the twentieth century, a period when women’s relationship with public life and state authority was changing radically, the female spy in all her forms offers a suggestive account of the effects of, and resistances to, such transformations. Violent Femmes examines the female spy as a figure in popular discourse which simultaneously conforms to cultural stereotypes and raises questions about women’s roles in British and American culture, in terms of gender, sexuality and national identity. Immensely useful for a wide range of courses such as Film and Television Studies, English, Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Communications, and History, this book will appeal to students from undergraduate level upwards.
