Luciana Paluzzi
had numerous opportunities to be a major Femme Fatale in the 60s and at just
about every opportunity she came up short... She never was as enticingly
beautiful as her characters assumed themselves to be and repeatedly she
offered a tepid energy level lacking real spark... She was a dud in all the
obvious venues: Bond, UNCLE,
even blew a Beach
movie... Here she is once again coasting, but the nature of the knockout
makes it one of her close-to-powerful roles...
