Joseph Losey's pop-art riff on the popular British newspaper strip (referenced in Pulp Fiction) is an inventive, eccentric romp, spearheaded by sixties darlings Monica Vitti (resplendent in cat-suit) and Terence Stamp, but outrageous peroxide baddie Dirk Bogarde steals the show. A James Bondian caper made by a jazz-loving left-winger, this one was always going to turn out odd, from the coldblooded mime slaying to the unexpected musical number...
