Deadlier Than the Male (1967)
Member Rating:  
In this 1967 drama, resourceful British agent Bulldog Drummond, who appeared onscreen in a series of spy stories between 1929 and 1951, returned to duty in the wake of James Bond. Here, Drummond (Richard Johnson) is on the trail of Carl Petersen (Nigel Green), a corrupt industrialist who has a bad habit of stealing the ideas of others and then killing them so he can reap their profits. The nefarious Petersen has a team of female assistants willing to kill on command, led by Irma (Elke Sommer) and Penelope (Sylva Koscina). One more Bulldog Drummond vehicle, Some Girls Do, followed in 1969 before the series was retired again. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jon B.

Complete with lethal lovelies, exotic locations, an evil mastermind and a castle fortress, Deadlier Than The Male is still a rather dull affair. Johnson is fine as Drummond, but the rest of the cast is not quite up to the already light demands of the genre. Drummond himself notices how ludicrous the whole thing seems, but the film doesn't work as satire either. The movie introduces an uncomfortable selfawareness in the final act that seems a compensation for running out of creative steam. Too bad. A waste of Elke Sommer in classic 1960s swimwear.
