Review of Deadlier Than the Male

Shockingly cynical all the way, this is a mere entertainment and very superficial as such, on level with normal operating standard of James Bond at his second best, and saved as worth seeing only by sparkling moments of some great sense of humour. Richard Johnson is always good and worth seeing any film with, but Elke Sommer and the others make poor impressions, like mannequins with robot minds, not minding who they kill or why or with any human second thoughts at all. The script is witty with some brilliant twists on the way, but the one James Bond film that this one resembles most is the worst one - "Diamonds are forever".
