1964: Carry On Spying

One of the first depictions of Secret Female Amazonian Organization...

Carry on Spying introduces 2 significant Femmenomena prevalent in 1965-67 media, the first being the "spy spoof" that would open up a slew of outrageous opportunities for Femmetastic portrayals, and the 2nd being the existence of Secret Organizations of WOmen who band together to do battle in the alternate reality of SpyWorld... These Female Organizations have 2 predecessors: the Lesbos / Amazonians of ancient myth portrayed in the Sword & Sandal epics and the All-Female Alien planets/societies of Outer Space Sci-fi... The SpyWorld FemmeCartels develop from these fantasies into an even more fantastic concept of Organized WOmen who to excel at espionage, subterfuge, physical combat, assassination and male subjugation, possessing extraordinary beauty and stylishly dressed in the latest fashions... This Carry On offers only a brief glimpse at what would flourish over the next few years, but the skin-tight black catsuits, black leather gun belts and boots are attention getting and anticipate the outfits of Pussy Galore's Flying Circus that would appear later in the year...

Reinforcing the Alien/Lesbos/Amazon link to Secret SpyWorld, Maya Koumani, who appeared in Fire Maidens From Outer Space in 1956,  appears as one of the Amazon Guards...
