The Golden Lady

THE GOLDEN LADY is a clunking misfire from Jose Ramon Larraz, the Spanish director whose work in the UK included the minor classic VAMPYRES. Sadly, this one's at the other end of the quality spectrum, a supposed female-led Bond spoof that feels more like a weak spin on CHARLIE'S ANGELS. Some minor female talents of the era (including a face you may recognise from CARRY ON EMMANNUELLE) are employed by a wealthy businessman to take care of some business, but are soon double-crossed. Desmond Llewellyn has a tiny cameo, Edward de Souza should know better, and the Three Degres and Blonde on Blonde are involved. The film is incredibly poor and long scenes seem to be shot through a kaleidoscope so you have no idea of what you're suppoesd to be looking at.
