Some Girls Do (1969)

Some Girls Do: Directed by Ralph Thomas. With Richard Johnson, Daliah Lavi, Beba Loncar, James Villiers. A series of unexplainable accidents befall the people and companies responsible for developing the world’s first supersonic airliner (SST1). A British agent is sent to investigate and with the help of another agent uncovers a plot masterminded by Carl Petersen who stands to gain eight million pounds if the aircraft is not ready by a certain date. The evil Petersen has developed a number of “robots” (actually rather beautiful girls with “electronic brains”) to help him sabotage the SST1 project by means of “infrasound” (extreme low frequency sound waves) which can be directed at people or objects with devastating results.

“This sequel for the 1966 trash classic u0026quot;Deadlier than the maleu0026quot; is quite a disappointment compared with the original spy movie. There are good bad movies and there are bad bad movies. This oneu0026#39;s medium bad. The film has a great storyline (in exploitation terms), but suffers from being quite unfunny and kind of lustless in acting and directing. If you expect something like an u0026quot;Austin Powersu0026quot; flick back from the original sixties, you will be disappointed. The production design and the costumes are uninspired and look as if theyu0026#39;d belong to a cheap british early-seventies TV series. Even those female robots have a boring look and could have been designed much, much spicier. The movie lacks highlights like the great Robert Morleyu0026#39;s hammy appearances, provided only in the first half of the movie. And this first half is a bore, anyway, especially due to the unfunny comic relief of Drummondu0026#39;s sidekick. The second half runs better, with more action and more funny scenes in it. The best scenes belong to Daliah Lavi as the bad girl, while pretty Sydne Rome (as the good girl) is absolutely colorless. Poor production, poor fun -at least in this case. Watching this movie is not a complete waste of time, but it comes close to that. So you are recommended to watch u0026quot;deadlier than the maleu0026quot; for a third time instead.”
