Issue 57 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd concludes with the Remakes Tribunal, where we put bad filmmaking on trial. Our Remake on Trial is Michael Mann's Public Enemies, which we compare to previous versions of the same story including 1973's Dillinger. Then we offer a Parole Board hearing to the genuinely terrible 1966 film Modesty Blaise, and ask if a remake would fix its problems The first two parts of Issue 57 are already out, including Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems.
We're chatting about the comics you liked as a little kiddo this week! The topic was inspired by a thread in the DD forums. This is always a fun topic and I always have to mention Asterix because it was so amazing. This week Tantz had to bow out but we have Gunwallace to replace her, and Banes is back! Gunwallace is a fellow Antipodean, that means he and I share many of the same cultural touch stones, particularity the comic Footrot Flats. (Tantz is still on the Patreon only video) Footrot Flats is a newspaper comic by the New Zealand creator Murry Ball. It's about a working sheepdog called “Dog” who lives on a farm owned by Wal, a single guy who works hard, drinks beer, and loves rugby. It's a comic that Australians saw as very “Australian” because it played into the mythological rural, working class image that we invented for ourselves, New Zealanders who have a similar history and felt the same, hence the shared popularity of this amazing very classically Kiwi comic from New Zealand. Footroot flats comics be seen in many great collected works as well as an awesome animated film from the 1980s called “Footrot flats: The Dog's tale”. I fondly remember it for the hit theme song sung by New Zealand singer Dave Dobbin, “Slice of Heaven” which is one of my favourite ever songs. Gunwallace has even designed a cocktail inspired by it. I will list the recipe here and I urge to try it while listening to that song! Cocktail recipe! Slice of Heaven — Dave Dobbyn & Herbs 50 ml Beerenburg jenever herbal gin 20 ml Drambuie 2 dashes bitters Half-fill an Old Fashioned Glass with ice, pour ingredients into glass. Add dashes of bitters. Stir gently. Garnish with a slice of orange. We used : Sonnema Berenburg, Drambuie, Peychaud's Bitters -New Zealand Music Cocktails by David Tulloch & Michael Sutorius The comics you enjoyed as a kid are determined by what was available to you at the time. For me what I recall most are the newspaper strips like Modesty Blaise, Mandrake the Magician, Wizard of Id, Crock, B.C., Footrot Flats, Hagar the Horrible, Peanuts, Blondie, Denis the Menace (British version), Andy Cap, Torkan,The Far Side, Garfield… The comics I actually bought were the Commando war comics, Scrooge McDuck, Mad Magazine, and The Phantom, which was very popular in British Commonwealth countries. I loved Asterix but would only get those from the library. Looking back a lot of those comics were quite influential on my art style and even my outlook on the world in some cases. My character Pinky has a LOT of modesty Blaise in her look, and I can see that I thought of myself as Torkan! Which comics did YOU like as a kid, which can you say STILL influence you now? This week Gunwallace has given us a theme inspired by Snake in the Office - Chaotic, sexy, rocking, snake charming to layers of groovy electric guitar and a piano tiptoeing around with a charming little tune tying it all together like a fine Persian rug! A sinuous synth clarinet impersonates a snake charming flute while giving us a lovely 1920s feel.

Enjoy a nostalgic trip through characters like Prince Valiant, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, and Dennis the Menace, as we discuss their evolution from comic strips to the silver screen.Jumping into the 60s and beyond, we analyze iconic TV shows and movies like the Green Hornet, "Barbarella," and "Modesty Blaise." We also reflect on the enduring legacy of the Incredible Hulk, Little Orphan Annie, Swamp Thing, and Conan the Barbarian. Through all this, we stress the importance of supporting your local comic shops and engaging with the comic book community. From humorous insights to critical reflections, this episode promises a captivating discussion on the enduring influence of comic books in film and pop culture.
It's time for another Eurospy spoof. This movie, based on the 'Modesty Blaise' comics by Peter O'Donnell, was written and directed by Joseph Losey to be 'A pop-art inspired spoof, with over-the-top set design, """Avante-garde editing""", and deliberate continuity problems'. It was nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes. He made a bad movie on purpose, as a joke. We have differing opinions on if he managed. ------ FREE PALESTINE palestineaction.org/donate https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate ----- Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

This show is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. This episode was originally released in November, 2015. Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. * They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (version 1) from Georges Delaure's extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A second version comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England). * We also hear Waltz by Mother Falcon. * I go back to the Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it's the go-to soundtrack for “People Arriving at One's Store With A Life Changing Proposition” here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch Please Give. * The little piano piece is from Nathan Johnson's score to The Day I Saw Your Heart. * Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille's dope, skittering drums on Nuba 1. * The especially sad bit, right before the end is Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life), from Max Richter's giant, From Sleep album. * A couple times, including the ending, we hear “the Lark Ascending” from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it. Notes As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells. I relied most upon the charming and smart, On the Road with John James Audubon by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte's lovely, thoughtful book, Lucy Audubon: a Biography. * Just a quick note: there's a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature documentary about Audubon. It's a fun and informative watch. But, I'll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I'm not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.

Allt som rör dofter är en härva av status, trender och sociala distinktioner. Luktsinnet har länge nedvärderats till förmån för synen och hörseln. Malin Krutmeijer funderar på vad vi går miste om. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publiceras 2016-02-16.I en Modesty Blaise-serie som jag just läst finns det med en man som spårar med hjälp av luktsinnet. Mannen jobbar för skurksidan i berättelsen och han tillhör Australiens ursprungsbefolkning, aboriginerna.En snabb nätsökning säger mig att det tydligen har funnits en föreställning om att aboriginernas luktsinne skulle vara extra bra. I Modesty Blaise-serien framställs mannen som spårar som imponerade, men också primitiv. Och han spårar ju som ett djur.De senaste två-tre hundra åren har luktsinnet systematiskt nedvärderats. Det har setts som ett primitivt sinne, medan synen seglade upp som civilisationens och förnuftets sinne nummer ett. Det har att göra med att synintryck har betraktats som objektiva, avgränsade och verifierbara medan lukter ofta är svårbestämbara och sprider sig gränslöst genom luften. En civiliserad människa förväntas sky alla lukter som verkar obehagliga eller konstiga - inte intressera sig för dem.Det här gäller åtminstone västvärlden, det vill säga bland annat det Europa som under samma tid hänsynslöst koloniserade andra delar av världen och klassificerade de människor som redan levde där som lägre stående. Till de folkgrupper som kategoriserades särskilt lågt i hierarkin hörde aboriginerna. De utsattes för en fruktansvärd brutalitet. En framställning av en aboriginsk man som en sorts spårande djur måste ses i ljuset av det.Nu är Modesty Blaise-serien jag läste skriven på 1970-talet. Den är kosmopolitiskt vinklad och ger en på sätt och vis välvillig, men extremt exotiserande, bild av aboriginerna. Idén om deras goda luktsinne blir dubbel: de har nära till det djuriska och primitiva men också till naturliga och ursprungliga förmågor i positiv mening.Hos Modesty Blaise finns inga tankar om att de dessutom skulle lukta på ett speciellt sätt själva, men i verkligheten smittar människors sociala status i hög grad uppfattningen om deras doft. Det kan man läsa om i "Aroma: the cultural history of smell" av Constance Classen, David Howes och Anthony Synnott. Boken har drygt tjugo år på nacken och bjuder på en odyssé genom luktsinnets och dofternas kulturhistoria.Det är ingen direkt överraskning att såväl den brittiska arbetarklassen som svarta amerikaner oavsett klasstillhörighet har tillskrivits dålig kroppslukt och påståtts gilla billiga parfymer. Författarna menar att en typisk mekanism är att samhället först underordnar och diskriminerar en grupp så svårt att de tvingas leva utan tillgång till vettiga hygieniska förhållanden. När det här sedan märks på att de till exempel inte kan tvätta sina kläder lika ofta som över- och medelklassen ser man det som ett bevis för deras låga moral.Lukt är makt - och makt luktar ingenting alls, om vi ska tro författarna. Mäktiga mäns doft har i den moderna tiden oftast beskrivits som neutral och ren. Kvinnor har gärna fått parfymera sig men inte för starkt och mycket. En kraftig parfym har signalerat en manipulativ sexualitet.Skillnaden mellan hur olika människors kroppar i sig luktar har förstås ingenting med hudfärg eller social tillhörighet att göra. Däremot finns det olika kulturella doftideal.Någon gång i 10-12-årsåldern läste jag en bok där huvudpersonerna var kirgiser på dåvarande ryska stäppen. De tyckte att européer från stan stank av härsket smör blandat med blomdoft från deras tvålar. Samtliga som var med i boken, kirgiser som européer, tyckte själva att deras egen lukt var helt neutral.Tanken att andra uppfattar ens lukt fast man inte gör det själv gjorde ett stort intryck på mig. Jag började känna efter på allvar, och insåg att det luktade olika hemma hos olika kompisar. Jag blev besatt av att få reda på hur det luktade hemma hos oss, för jag kunde ju inte känna det. Jag frågade, men ingen begrep vad jag menade. Till slut illustrerade jag med en levande beskrivning av doften hemma hos min bästis, där jag bland annat använde orden "liksom lite murket men inte på ett äckligt sätt". Bästisen blev djupt förolämpad och vi pratade aldrig mer om det där."Murket" lät väl inte så smickrande även om det inte var illa menat. Hur ens kropp och ens hem luktar är känsligt, för det är svårt att helt få kontroll över det. Och få saker är väl så påträngande och pinsamt som så kallad oönskad lukt.I garderoberna i mitt hem där jag bor nu finns till exempel en lukt som jag inte kan definiera. Den fanns där när vi flyttade in, och den kommer att vara kvar när vi flyttar ut fast vi har skrubbat och skrubbat. Konstigt nog känner jag ibland samma lukt strömma ut från trappuppgångar och källarfönster till andra hyreshus i närheten.Det viktiga är att lukten inte är min. Den är inte direkt obehaglig men den har inte bland mina kläder att göra. Här har vi en intressant gränsdragning för när lukter är godtagbara och inte. Doften från ens egen mustiga matlagning är god, men den ska ju helst inte prägla hela trappuppgången och sprida sig in i grannens hall. Än värre vore om grannens steklukt letade sig in i ens eget vardagsrum. Då är den plötsligt äcklig.Som så mycket i vårt symboliska och kulturella universum ska rätt sak vara på rätt plats, och vid rätt tillfälle. Men lukter är mer trolösa än föremål, och de påverkar oss på ett sätt vi inte alltid kan förstå och förklara.Det är antagligen en av anledningarna till att dofter har en så ambivalent status.I den förmoderna tiden trodde man att dofter reflekterade människors inre, och att man kunde frambesvärja saker med aromatiska oljor och parfym. Lite är det så fortfarande, om man tittar på hur dofter används i marknadsföring.Till exempel så doftsätter man produkter för att öka deras attraktionskraft och upplevda effekt. På 60-talet tillsatte ett företag en syntetisk citrondoft i ett diskmedel. Undersökningar visade att de som köpte det uppfattade det som mer effektivt än samma diskmedel utan citron. Liknande undersökningar har gjorts för hårschampoo: doftar det "rätt" uppfattas det som bättre.Vad som är "rätt", det vill säga säljer produkten, är förstås helt målgruppsstyrt. Man riktar sig till unga, gamla, män, kvinnor och så vidare med olika dofter.När vi sedan kommer till parfymer så är det en värld för sig. Under 1900-talen dominerade de stora modehusen marknaden. De skapade dofter som förstärkte varumärket och bilden av den kvinna deras kläder skulle frammana. Idag är det trendigt med så kallade nischparfymer, tillverkade av mindre parfymhus som gärna marknadsför sig med naturliga råvaror. Precis som andra modetrender är parfymtrender intressanta, för man kan läsa in indirekta samband med saker som händer på till exempel världsmarknaden.På 80- och 90-talet ökade statusen för japanska bilar och hemelektronik starkt. Deras exportvaror betraktades som högkvalitativa i Europa och USA. Tidigt 90-tal fanns naturligtvis en japansk parfym bland de riktiga storsäljarna. Idag har oud, som utvinns ur ett sydostasiatiskt träslag eller framställs syntetiskt, varit en stående ingrediens i många högstatusparfymer under några år. Man kan fundera på vad det betyder.Själv gillar jag verkligen parfymer, för att det är härligt att goda dofter förstås, men också för att de aktiverar luktsinnet rent allmänt. Att prata om parfymers sammansättning är också en rolig språklig utmaning. Svenska språket är inte så välutvecklat när det gäller den olfaktoriska världen, det vill säga lukternas värld, så man måste vara lite uppfinningsrik själv. En bra parfym kan lukta alltifrån nougat och liljor till lite kattpiss och svett.Allt som rör dofter och luktsinne är en härva av status, trender och sociala distinktioner. Att helt frigöra sig från symbolvärden, kultur och marknadsföringstrick är antagligen omöjligt. Men det går att utmana sig själv och känna efter på riktigt. Blunda, dra in dofter i nosen och fråga sig: vad luktar det här egentligen? Just här, där jag suttit och skrivit, luktar det damm, trä, såpa och hund. Och hunden, han luktar konstigt nog mariekex. Malin Krutmeijer, kulturjournalist

Music *Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. *The piece opens with Rainfall, by David Darling and Michael Jones. *Her brief love story is scored by Nathan Johnson's Penelope's Theme from his score to The Brothers Bloom. *When she lands her first gig, we start Garde a Vue, and roll into Le Roi de coeur, from Chantal Martineau. * The vibraphone piece is “Opening” by Nathaniel Bartlett. * The recurring violin piece is called Geometria del Universo by the one-named Colleen. * It ends on Romain's First Love, again by Georges Delarue, from his fantastic score to Promise at Dawn. Notes * I read a lot about Mary, but by far the most useful and most thorough works I came upon were: Sharon M. Harris' Dr. Mary Walker: An American Radical and A Woman of Honor: Dr. Mary E. Walker and the Civil War, in which author Mercedes Graf does a great job walking the reader through Walker's unpublished memoir.

This episode was originally released in summer of 2015. Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. * Then, we have the most obvious crickets/summer night song ever: the fantastic, perpetually delightful Green Arrow from Yo La Tengo's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which has soundtracked many crickety summer nights for me over the years. * The cops roll in to a loop of the very beginning of the epic Ptah, the El Daoud, the title track to Alice Coltrane's album from 1970. * Then we have a mix of two improvisations from Charles Cohen's “Brother I Prove You Wrong”: Cloud Hands and The Boy and the Snake Dance. * There's a brief dip into Dorian, by Fang Island. * The jaunty accordion, typewriter thing is Biking is Better on Wintergatan's eponymous album. Notes I researched this one primarily through old newspapers. The easiest place to find a number of them is to read the excellent site, The Museum of Hoaxes' page on this event. Also: if you're in the Atlanta area and ever want to have yourself a day, you can see the actual monkey. It's preserved in a jar at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations museum in Decatur Georgia.

Para haber sido considerada por años como un producto de una era pretérita, como una obra simple y populista, vaya qué sorprende la forma o, mejor dicho, las formas en que Les vampires ha influido década tras década desde su estreno serializado entre fines de 1915 y principios de 1916. Realizada por Louis Feuillade a partir del gran éxito de Fantómas (1913), los diez capítulos de Los vampiros son el punto origen del modo en que llegamos a entender el cine de acción y aventuras del siglo XX y anticipan de modo fascinante nuestra actual dependencia de superhéroes y supervillanos que se persiguen sin cesar de un filme a otro. Feuillade buscaba reproducir en pantalla el frenesí y la ansiedad que generaba el folletín literario, pero en el camino descubrió unas cuantas cosas que no estaban en su plan original: la creciente obsesión por el "underground", un orden de cosas paralelo que reproduce y pervierte la realidad del mundo vigil, y el gradual reemplazo de la tradicional figura del villano (encarnado por diversos machos alfa que van sucumbiendo ante los héroes) por la inquietante presencia de Irma Vep, malhechora porfiada e irreductible (antecedente directa de Gatúbela, Modesty Blaise, Emma Peel y un cuanto hay de intrépidas enfundadas en traje de malla y látex), una sombra que va ganando en agencia, libertad y locura, hasta tragarse el filme al completo, apoyada en el indeleble rostro y presencia de Musidora, actriz inmortal. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

This week, I welcome one of my dearest friends back to the podcast. A talented freelance illustrator, blogger, and film fan, Kate Gabrielle is the designer of both the season one and two versions of our gorgeous Watch With Jen logo. As a professional artist, she's not only worked with the TCM Film Fest, Netflix, Doubleday, Mental Floss, and more but also runs her own brightly colored, uplifting shop KateGabrielle.com as well.In her third solo and fourth total appearance on the show so far, Kate returns to discuss four movies starring one of her favorite actors, the gifted Dirk Bogarde. Focusing on So Long at the Fair, Darling, Modesty Blaise, and Accident - all of which she introduced to me - we delve into what makes these titles distinct works of classic British cinema and of course, what Bogarde does so well in all of them.Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveOriginally Posted on Patreon 9/10/21 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56012404
Eleonora Marangoni"E siccome lei"Feltrinelli Editorehttps://www.feltrinellieditore.it/Fuori Luogo Biella, FestivalDomenica 5 settembre 2021, ore 16:45"E siccome lei"Quarantasei ritratti, ad opera dell'autrice Eleonora Marangoni, di donne interpretate da Monica Vitti nella sua lunga carriera. L'attrice diventa il mezzo attraverso cui leggere, racconto dopo racconto, la complessità del femminile e l'Italia della seconda metà del secolo scorso.Nostalgiche, ironiche, gelose, testarde, eccentriche o sfuggenti: le donne di questi racconti hanno il volto e la voce di Monica Vitti, e si susseguono una dopo l'altra in un irresistibile ritratto corale. Sono tutte diverse, come diversa da tutte è stata lei: la Vitti è un'icona italiana, ma della fissità delle icone ha poco e niente. La sua personalità è unica proprio perché ne contiene molte: è la ragazza con la pistola e la regina dell'alienazione, la bionda fatale e l'amica con la battuta pronta. Ogni capitolo è dedicato a un personaggio che Monica Vitti ha interpretato al cinema, ed è il racconto di un carattere, un destino, un modo di stare al mondo. Claudia de L'avventura, Teresa la ladra, Modesty Blaise, Assunta Patanè e le altre sono riunite insieme in queste pagine; si riprendono la loro storia, reclamano un altro po' di spazio, si regalano un incontro imprevisto o perfino un finale diverso.Eleonora Marangoni ritrae le donne di oltre trentacinque anni di carriera, dagli esordi nella commedia anni Cinquanta al cinema di Antonioni fino ai film degli anni Ottanta con Roberto Russo, passando per Risi, Monicelli, Sordi, Brass, Scola e Buñuel. Le filtra una a una attraverso il suo sguardo e le inchioda a un dettaglio, le evoca a partire da una frase o da un gesto, le fissa in un sorriso ingenuo o in un ricordo lontano, e in ogni ritratto coglie fragilità e tenacia, un segno della grazia e dei misteri del vivere.Ritratti e destini dipinti con tenerezza e umorismo, attraverso i quali ci viene restituita l'essenza di una donna dai molti volti, un pezzo di storia del cinema e di ognuno di noi.Ascolta la conversazione con Eleonora Marangoni per il suo romanzo "Lux" pubblicato da Neri Pozza:https://ilpostodelleparole.it/eleonora-marangoni/eleonora-marangoni-lux/Eleonora Marangoni è nata a Roma nel 1983. Ha esordito in Francia con il saggio Proust et la peinture italienne (Michel de Maule, 2011). Ha pubblicato il romanzo illustrato Une demoiselle (Michel de Maule, 2013) e il saggio Proust. I colori del tempo (Mondadori Electa, 2014).Il suo romanzo Lux, Premio Neri Pozza 2017, è entrato nella dozzina del Premio Strega, ha vinto il Premio Megamark e il Premio Opera Prima.

Direct Hits with Colin Swan in conversation with David Eastaugh Way back in 1982, Battersea based mod heroes The Direct Hits had released one single on Dan Treacy’s Whamm! record label, ‘Modesty Blaise’ earlier in the year. This was singled out in the music press as not just one of your average Jam crash / bang /wallop mod revivalist tunes. Live gigs showed they had a mighty powerful set of catchy mod / pop tunes in the back pocket. Whamm! were struggling to provide the funds to record an album, the songs were too good not to commit to a full 12’ set, so the Direct Hits pooled their limited resources and self financed a very cheap one day recording session in a tiny studio in Tooting, South London called Broadway Sound. Early on the morning of August 12th 1982 the band, comprising of Colin Swan, Geno Buckmaster, Brian Grover and their trusty roadie ‘Robbo’ assembled at the tiny studio to begin recording as many of their songs as they could get down on tape for the tiny budget they had scraped together.

The action moves from France to Egypt. Frustrated by their lack of progress in finding the supposed diamond thief, and by having to work by Secret Service rules, Modesty and Willie decide to go their own way and play the live bait caper. It proves to be a risky decision.
A British agent is found dead in suspicious circumstances. Now rumours are circulating of a plot to steal a huge consignment of diamonds belonging to a Middle Eastern Sheik. The diamonds are part of a deal to secure oil for Britain and Sir Gerald Tarrant, head of a British secret service organisation, needs some specialist help to prevent the plot being carried out. He decides to 'set a thief to catch a thief' and persuades former criminal Modesty Blaise to come out of retirement, along with her right-hand man Willie Garvin.
Modesty and Willie are being held by ruthless villain Gabriel on a remote Mediterranean island. He has used them to help him steal a huge consignment of diamonds but now has no further use for them. Prospects look bad for the pair and they must call upon all their resources to save the day.
Modesty and Willie have deliberately allowed themselves to be captured by Gabriel, the criminal mastermind behind the diamond heist. Now they're waiting for just the right moment to recapture the diamonds and escape. Gabriel, however, has other plans for the pair

In this episode, we have a hardboiled discussion regarding censorship in our favorite genres. Eric reviews “Bloody Jungle” by Charles Runyon and Tom covers “Modesty Blaise” by Peter O’Donnell. You don’t want to miss this one! (Music by Bensound)
This month, we’re watching the camp 1966 spy-fi classic Modesty Blaise, starring a very attractive Italian lady, Dirk Bogarde and Bernice off Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. There’s diamond smuggling, spycraft and racist comedy Arabs, but it’s mostly all there to get in the way of the lovely location work in Amsterdam and Italy and the upsettingly psychedelic wallpaper.
Ken Plume has another chat with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, about hypervigilance exhaustion, woof-fors, Captain Marvel, third points, slamming on the gas, comics, cameos, premieres, candy rooms, Tony Stark's admin, Flerken things, Ikea famous, AquaBendis, Modesty Blaise, Precious Lane, Evil Queens, backstage cruelty, princess snubs.and boutreats.
JoBeth Williams stars as suburban Ohio housewife and mother Cathy Palmer, who escapes her joyless marriage in her spare time by reading her favorite romantic thriller novels, all starring a Modesty Blaise-like globe-hopping female private detective, Rebecca Ryan. She loves them so much, she enters a Rebecca Ryan fan fiction writing contest in which the winner of the would-be authors scores an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris, including seeing all the famous sights, as well as meeting the author of the novels herself, Margaret McMann. When her selfish hubby tells her he has no time for it, and she should just not go at all, Cathy decides she's going to Paris alone if she must, leaving him and their two boys behind for the week. A curious thing happens on the trip, as Cathy ends up taking a blow to the head after getting hit by a car while pursuing some purse thieves, and when she awakens in the hospital, she not only forgets she's Cathy, but she thinks she's the heroine of her novels, Rebecca Ryan herself. She begins her make-over to glamour and adventure, all the while imagining everyone and everything around her is part of a plot of one of the novels, including the leader of the French opposition party, whom she suspects is part of her mission to help protect. Meanwhile, she mistakes Englishman Alan McMann, Margaret's son (played by Scottish actor, Tom Conti), as her partner-in-crime-solving, Dmitri, and the two get themselves into a heap of real trouble as she dives head-first into snooping around where she doesn't belong without the skills or expertise to truly know what she's doing.

Hi everybody it's Jeff Gelb I'm trying my hand at the brush pass to introduce you guys and gals to the wonderful world of Clyde Allison and his amazing character 0008 or Trevor Anderson who is Our Man From Sadisto. Believe it or not these books came out in the 1960s when I was a teenager and they were not sold at regular newsstands they were sold at adult bookstores! They were from a company San Diego based called Amber Library who also went through several other names. Clyde Allison was a house name as well. However it was really all the work of one brilliant writer named William Knowles who toiled in soft core porn obscurity. Throughout the 1960s and almost made it big time with some Lancer books in the late 60s but never quite broke through to a mainstream audience sadly even more sadly. He committed suicide in the late 1960s. It's quite a sad story. However his work in this series of books and there were 20 of them within four years. Think about that was brilliant and hilarious. The Our Man Sadisto series were spy fi sci fi sexy satires all incorporating science fiction elements and a heavy dollop of sexual innuendo. Now when I say that obviously you have to remember the times in the mid 1960s were not the early 2000's. You really could not get away with saying very much at all. So all of it was done by innuendo and all of it was hilariously done. Allison was actually a very brilliant writer who unfortunately just was never discovered by the mainstream press and I don't know why. But he obviously knew where he spoke in terms of spy novels he was well versed in what was going on around him at the time and he used characters and situations from other people's spy novels as satirical jumping off points. As I said there were 20 books in this series starting with our man from Sadisto in 1965 and ending with the Desert Damsels in 1968, nineteen out of twenty of these books have absolutely brilliant cover art paintings by an artist named Robert Bonfils who just died fairly recently. He painted dozens if not hundreds of paperback covers for these sleaze publishers in the 1960s and he was really quite brilliant himself. If you don't believe me please look up Our Man From Sadisto by Clyde Allison on the Internet and you will find all of his amazing covers. One of the things that was just great about these books for me as a teenager and still great re-reading them today is that they all included references to then current spy movies or book characters. There were frequent mentions of Our Man from Uncle, the James Bond character himself. Modesty Blaise and even more obscure characters like The Man From Orgy which by the way was a series that was nowhere near as funny or clever as the Man from Sadisto books were. The most famous real world so to speak character that Clyde Allison used in several of his books was a reference to the Our Man Flint movie because for some reason the Our Man Flint movie had flint reading a spy novel featuring 0008. It was of course a complete coincidence. I am quite certain that the writer of the Our Man Flynt movie had no idea there was a character called 0008. Because again these were never sold on the mainstream newsstands. However in the movie. Our Man Flint meets the triple 0 8 character and they have a scuffle in a French restaurant. If you want to go back and check the movie out you will see that scene. It's very very funny. The books were hilarious. They were full of science fiction elements like machines that made people want to have sex nonstop stuff like that. There were maniacal super-villains who wanted to take over the world. There were constant references to all of the other spy characters of the time and they were brilliantly written. Now in 160 pages which is all that Clyde Allison had to work with for each book I would say a good hundred pages out of 160 were usually sexually oriented material. However again we're talking about sex as defined in the mid 60s. And so what he had to do was to continually reinvent the wheel in terms of how he described his characters having sex and that in itself is hilarious. I loved these books as a teenager and have recollected them. As a person in my mid 60s and I still find them hilarious and well worth reading and collecting. They're very rare. They're very hard to find. If you can find any on the Internet. Grab one and have the experience of a lifetime. Be prepared to laugh out loud. And don't be drinking anything while you're reading the book because you might spit it out when you start laughing. Seriously. Clyde Allison was an amazing talent. These are all very funny books. They are of course very much of their time. But that was a really crazy time. These are really crazy books and they're really worth trying to find. I don't believe any of these are currently available. I believe they're tied up the rights for these are tied up somewhere so that they cannot be legally reprinted although I noticed that a couple of them have been reprinted anyway and you can pick them up on various Internet websites for under fifteen dollars. Again these may or may not be legitimate reprints but if you want to if I have whet your appetite whetted your appetite at all to listen to. Sorry to read the adventures or the misadventures of the greatest spy lover of all time Trevor Anderson of Sadisto better known as triple 0 8 then please do yourself a very big favor and pick one of those up. And I am almost positive you'll agree with me that these are some of the funniest books you will ever read.

The music: *Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's great, ridiculous Modesty Blaise score. *The recurring piano theme is Les Marionettes by Zbigniew Preisner from his score to La Double Vie de Veronique (And, have you seen The Double Life of Veronique? Man, that's good) *Eugenia's dreamy little theme is Just Saying by Jamie XX off of In Colour *That organ track is called Organ Track by Nicolai Dunger from The Cloud is Learning *Al Davis' dance theme is Watusi Bounce from Bo Diddly's Ride On/The Chess Masters *Helen watches Eugenia on the lawn at the Grand Hotel to the tune of To a Wild Rose by Patricia Rossborough from the collection Dainty Debutantes: Female Novelty Pianists of the 1930's (And, ugh. Dismissive much?) *The Judge drones over one of Scott Watson's Six Solos for the Beginning Tuba Player from his 2008 album, Stepping Stones for Tuba, vol. 1 (like I need to tell you that) *The ending piece is Mike Andrews lovely Library Chant from his score to Miranda July's lovely Me and You and Everyone we Know Notes: I first stumbled across this story in my torn up copy of New York: Confidential! Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer's truly mucky, muck-raking guide to the city's underbelly from 1951. I read a ton of old news paper articles about the case (the New York Times covered it extensively, if you want to go back and read those). The two most useful books I came across in the process were Joshua Zeitz' Flapper and Lewis Erenberg's Steppin' Out: New York Nightlife and the Transformation of American Culture, 1890-1930

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the actor Terence Stamp. Terence Stamp was one of the new group of confident, beautiful, working class young people who came to define the 1960s. He shared a flat with Michael Caine, dated the actress Julie Christie and the first supermodel Jean Shrimpton. He became an overnight success - and won an Oscar nomination - for his first film role as Billy Budd. He acted alongside Christie in Far from the Madding Crowd and found further fame with roles in The Collector and Modesty Blaise. He was driven to act after first seeing Beau Geste when he was just a small boy - the cinema offered an escape route from the monochrome world of London's East End.But when the 1960s ended he found he was offered fewer interesting roles, his relationship with Shrimpton ended and he headed eastwards on a journey of self-discovery. Now 66, he's suave, still acting and recently married.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Impromptu No.4 in C sharp Minor by Frédéric Chopin Book: Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Luxury: One of his wheat-free loaves
