I saw Modesty Blaise when it came out.  This was at the height of the 60's
spy movie craze.  I liked it, probably because I wasn't old enough to
know any better.  Definately a grade-B movie, but it was the theme of
the games me and my school-friends played for months afterwards
(I was only in junior high-school).

The most striking thing about the movie was the use of op-art sets
and costumes.  It would probably look very dated now.

By the way, there is a whole series of Modesty Blaise books.  I think
they appealed to us little girls for the same reason we all loved Emma Peal
(the Avengers): a female heroine that was not a victim.
