The Golden Lady

Something I came across while searching the credits of Suzanne Danielle after seeing her in the Destiny of the Daleks. A very familiar face for anyone watching UK tv in the late 70s and early 80s.

The film also stars another recognisable face of the time in June Chadwick of V, Spinal Tap, and Forbidden World. Things are just looking better and better.

Then the poster. Promising high octane action, gun toting women, the female James Bond, music by the Three Degrees and Charles Aznavour, what more do we need to know, this has to be seen.

Oh dear, not an easy film to track down. Thank heavens for Reel Vault.

The film is far from the James Bond the poster alludes to. The story is a mix of spy thriller with corporate espionage at a high stakes world power critical level with goings on that at no point the viewer will understand.

But if someone said let's make Charlie's Angels in the style of the Professionals with an X certificate, then they hit the nail on the head. It is of its time; the people, the faces, the style, cars, language, are all pure late 70s. Absolutely beautiful.

The Golden Ladies in this film are strong, gun toting heroines, and this is proved in what has to be one of the most hairy helicopter chase scenes I have ever seen. This alone is worth the watch. Mind bogglingly dangerous by today's standards. A must see.

Information Accurate.
