1966. The film’s plot in a nutshell… Modesty Blaise is summoned by the British government in a plot to deliver to a Middle Eastern sheikh a shipment of diamonds sought by arch-criminal Gabriel (Dirk Bogarde). Aided and abetted by her sidekick, Willie Garvin, she darts between Amsterdam, London and Gabriel’s posh island lair, involved in a series of knifings, killings, chases, druggings and poppings-into-beds.
