Rossella Falk steals the show., 18 July 1999
10/10
Author: TD from United States

Rossella Falk plays the incredible Claira Fothergill in one of the greatest villain roles in film history. She plays the perfect psychopath and turns what would just another 60's spy film into the best of its genre. Monica Vitti's instant wardrobe changes were very bothersome to me. In fact Monica was an extremely poor choice to play Monica. She could pull off the sexy aspects of Modesty, but was unconvincing in the tough physical aspects. This film has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it in the late 60's. I keep hearing about a remake and plan to be first in line.
