Trivia

The title 'Deadlier Than the Male' is a literary reference to a 1911 poem by Rudyard Kipling 'The Female of the Species' which reads: "The female of the species must be deadlier than the male". The title also references Herman C. McNeile (aka Sapper)'s earlier 'Bulldog Drummond' novel, 'The Female of the Species' which was filmed as Bulldog Drummond Comes Back (1937). See more »

User Reviews

 
An excellent, stylish, detective/spy film.
1 October 1998 | by – See all my reviews

This entry into the world of the 1960s spy genre is one of the best. Due to its witty screenplay, with some great dialogue, and its great visual direction, this film stands out above any of the Matt Helm series or other European films. The two female leads, Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina are perfect, as are Nigel Green and Richard Johnson. I highly recommend this film is you are into fun adventure, told with tongue-in-cheek style.
