'''Modesty Blaise''' is a 1966 British crime comedy directed by Joseph Losey and loosely based on the comic strip of Peter O'Donnell. Modesty Blaise ([[Monica Vitti]]) is not an ordinary agent. It is endowed with the ability to just a snap of your fingers change no only hair color and hairstyle, but also her clothes, mostly somewhat eccentric, which she envies not only the fashion world but also espionage circles. The British government intends to pay £ 50,000 in diamonds for a sheikh of the Middle East as a concession for oil, but receives the information, it wants to loot these diamonds villain Gabriel Fothergill ([[Dirk Bogarde]]) and his wife Clara ([[Rossella Falk)]]. Secret service chief Sir Gerald Tarrant ([[Harry Andrews]]), therefore, turn to the sexy agent Modesty Blaise which already had with this criminal to do, and entrust it with the task to protect shipment of diamonds. Modesty teams up with her trusty sidekick Willie Garvin ([[Terence Stamp]]) and together outwit not only all the bad guys, but also the secret service.
