1969: Some Girls Do


Daliah Lavi & Beba Loncar as the stylishly-sexy Assassins, Helga & Pandora...


In Greek Mythology "Pandora" is The First WOman who possesses all gifts: Beauty, Skill and Cunning.  She also possesses a box containing all evils. The movie plays up the mythological persona, adding a 60s SpyGirl spin to make her playfully sexy and reworking "Pandora's Box" as a Sci-Fi weapon. Whenever she appears before a male victim, she first teases and humiliates him, calling him "Little Man," then flashes her box at him, killing him. Thus the primordial motif occurs: Man desires The Beautiful WOman, but she [and her box] brings upon him misfortune and death.

In a comical seduction scene, Pandora arouses the hero's virgin sidekick with the time-honored routine of teasing, babying, and overwhelming him with her voluptuous body and beguiling charm. Operating at a pure archetypical level, she literally replaces the man's mother, who worries his mom won't approve of him losing his virginity to an enemy agent. The embodiment of enticing evil and sexy death, naturally proves too much for the overwhelmed man to resist...

 

Some Girls Do was the 2nd "Bulldog Drummond" movie of the 60s and essentially a carbon copy of the first: a master criminal employs two deliciously Sexy Femmes to assassinate ill-prepared men who stand in his way... The poster below would lead one believe that Some Girls should be the Ideal WOmWAm movie:

But the movie has nowhere-near the impact of it's predecessor, Deadlier Than The Male, and there's actually a disappointing lack of teasing, torturing, liquidating and * @ ! *ing... Daliah & Beba, while effective, are Grade-B to Elke & Sylva's Grade-A, and the script/direction/tone of Some Girls lacks the bite of it's awesome forerunner... The only thing that improved from 1966 to 1969 were the fashions, as Popular FemmeDom began its inexorable wane at the end of the decade...
