A
distinguished appearance by Senta Berger in that, after many enemy SpyFemmes, she's a Good
Girl, and as much as this is a Spy Story, it's also a Love Story, where she
convincingly projects concern & care for the hero, who clearly needs her
help... She establishes early that she's a tough girl with a gun & karate,
but when she softens to help she is even more powerful, using her Feminine
Wiles and Sexual Allure to distract men... The interplay between her &
Wagner is genuine and he represents a new kind of hero, one not above
needing a WOman, and his dependence on her propels the Love Story... The only weakness to the appearance is that for the
fighting scene in the belly dancer costume, Ms. Berger's double is
obvious... The softly seductive Senta came back later in the series as
another character (but still an SIA agent), who again is a love interest...
"Yes,
I look like a model, I'm posing as your girlfriend,
but I'm actually a highly trained intelligence operative..."
