“Dirk Bogarde as arch criminal Gabriel, one of the ‘top people’ in his profession”

“Monica Vitti as Modesty Blaise—armed with a bow made out of Willie’s leather belt and an arrow which springs from her lip stick container”

“Willie is given a lactic dip by a group of veiled arab women”

“Stamp as Willie Garvin, about to enter a submarine device to steal a rich haul of diamonds from the hold of a British freighter”

“Rossella Falk, Monica Vitti, Terence Stamp and Dirk Bogarde”
