Summary: 

I've never seen "Modesty Blaise" (as I remember, it got pretty poor reviews
when it came out), but, for me, the most fascinating thing about this movie
is that it was directed by Joseph Losey, who has since moved on to "Galileo",
"Don Giovanni", frequent collaberations with Harold Pinter, and, in general,
very heavy duty, *serious* films.  Even from his other sixties exploitation
films (such as "These Are the Damned"), I would have guessed that he was
one of the poorest possible choices to direct something like "Modesty Blaise".
A somewhat less extreme case than Ingmar Bergman directing a James Bond movie,
but along the same lines.
