    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director Joseph Losey found it difficult to work with Monica Vitti (Modesty Blaise), as she would invariably be accompanied onto the set by Director Michelangelo Antonioni, in whose movies she had become famous. Antonioni would often whisper suggestions to her, and she would take direction from him rather than Losey. Eventually, Losey asked Antonioni, whom he greatly admired, to keep away from the studios during filming. Antonioni complied.
    • Goofs
      when Modesty is fighting Mrs Fothergill, her leg tattoos have mysteriously disappeared.
    • Quotes
      • Gabriel: [Staked out in the hot sun and very thirsty] Champagne... champagne... champagne.
    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox logo appears without the fanfare.
    • Alternate versions
      Although previously passed uncut for cinema and video the 2010 UK DVD was raised to a 12 certificate and cut by 2 secs to remove a horsefall.
