Nothing dates quicker than fashion, as this furiously modish effort starring Monica Vitti and Terence Stamp reminds us. Based on the Evening Standard comic strip (well, about as closely as the 1967 Casino Royale was based on the Bond books), this 1966 film marks the least successful of director Jospeh Losey’s collaborations with Dirk Bogarde (here seen memorably as a preeningly camp villain with silver hair). It’s hard to credit that the pair who’d brought us The Servant three years earlier could have produced this Op Art abomination of a movie with its wilfully silly script and overdose of cringe-making Swinging Sixties zaniness. The visuals do boast some typically complex Losey compositions, even if they are thrown away in an attempt to emulate the rapid-fire inconsequentiality of a three-panel cartoon strip. Pretty awful, sadly, and the lack of extras doesn’t help a bit.
