Modesty Blaise called that “The Nailer”. For obvious reasons.

Modesty Blaise? Now there is a name I have not heard in ages.
Always a pleasure to correspond with a Gentleman and a Scholar with culture and refinement.
There’s so d@mn few of us left!

Still a classic.
cheers
I thought “A Taste for Death” was the best novel. Willey’s sand-yacht was a great improvisation, as well as how he “signed off” Simon Delicata!

Sabre-Tooth remains my favorite. The thing is, I read the novels before I discovered either the comic or the film adaptation.
I still think the comic did a better adaptation job.
Ok, but it’s a hell of a profile.
They haven’t seen anything yet.
Weapons of mass distraction deployed and running hot.
Or as sailors like to say, “Hot, straight and normal.”
Ah! Torpedoes are such fun!!
What did you say? I was distracted… yowza!!
Man that is a good-looking bot…
It could just as easily morph into the Id-Monster from Forbidden Planet! https://youtu.be/Ab2DMwgUUUg
But it didn’t…
So begs the question;
How much of everything, on both sides of the fourth wall, is real, how much is AI, and how much is just mind games?
Didn’t Raquel Welch play Modesty Blaise in a movie?
It was Monica Vitti, who looked a lot like Raquel.

Music by John Dankworth.
The movie did to Ms. Blaise what the Dean Martin movies did to Donald Hamilton’s Matt Helm. They really needed somebody like Guy Hamilton ( Goldfinger 1964) or Brian G. Hutton (Where Eagles Dare 1969 ) to direct a Modesty Blaise movie.
