MODESTY BLAISE Conclusion

It Has all Led Up to This...

...Modesty and Willie have recovered the diamonds, but Gabriel is aware of their actions, and now the duo have to fight their way our of the villain's mountain monastery headquarters...

For all of you who are screeching "That's not what happened in the movie, you're sort of right!
This was an adaptation of the novel based on the screenplay Peter O'Donnell wrote for the 1960s movie based on the initial plotline of the comic strip!
However, the producers used only some basic plot elements from his script and "camped" it up, tremendously!
The movie (as weirdly-entertaining as it is) is to the comic strip and novel what the 1960s Batman TV series was to the comics!
