Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SPECIAL OPERATION LADY CHAPLIN Ken Clark, Daniela Bianchi, Jacques Bergerac, Helga Linne, Evelyne Stewart, Mable Karr, Philippe HersentKen Clark again plays secret Agent Dick Malloy for a continuation of the series. When he gets in a cab, they have 077 printed on the cab door.Helga Linne is in it, even though they never have her name listed in any of the English language credits. Her name does appear in the Spanish version. The end scene in the Spanish version is "similar" but very different in the action than in the English. This is a minor discrepancy but worth noting. Also, the Spanish version has complete END CREDITS that the others omit. Same train scene, but no written credit.I just watched the Blu-Ray version of FROM Russia WITH LOVE, where Daniela Bianchi first became know to western audiences. Her accent was so think that they had to have someone dub her voice. It is interesting to watch the 2009 Rai-TV, show, STRACULT, with Ken Clark and Daniela together on the same stage. Ken died on June 1st, 2009, just a few months after the show was taped.They use Scorpions a lot in this movie. The movie has a very believable story about stealing nuclear missiles from a sunken US Navy Submarine. It snaps along great until the final battle where Ken is in a plane and suddenly comes out of the water wearing a wet-suit and using a spear-gun that fires exploding grenades. I always thought there was a cut there but this new longer version I received has that Jump as well. There is also a great TRAILER on You Tube for this movie, in case you want to watch it.Larry Anderson, Canada

As one who loves to watch chicks kick ass, I've wanted to see this movie ever since as a teenager I came across a picture of Daniela Bianchi in what looks like some sort of animal-skin jumpsuit dangling from a parachute brandishing a machine gun. But experience has taught me not to get my hopes up too high on the basis of individual publicity stills; and sure enough the film itself proved the usual let-down.Even though the movie is actually named after her character - and begins with a promising pre-credits sequence with Miss Bianchi in a nun's habit (under which she's wearing a bathing suit) packing a machine gun - most of the action is thereafter hogged by Ken Scott making his third and final appearance as Agent 077, Dick Malloy. Bianchi, alas, doesn't get her hands on a firearm again until the afore-mentioned scene just ten minutes from the end of the movie; when after finally getting a crack at Zoltan's turtle-neck wearing goons (to whom Malloy has been laying waste for the past ninety minutes), she runs out of bullets after barely ninety seconds and is hardly given time to reload before that big killjoy Clark barges in and lays her out with a punch while mouthing that groan-inducing old macho chestnut: "I'm sorry, Arabella, you're going to have to sit this one out". And yet another opportunity to treat us to a truly badass female lead has been lost.

"Lady Chaplin, in her touch, there is something that means much..." says the song sung by Bobby Solo early in the film, as Daniela Bianchi appears only in some turquoise panties, very sexy, and we see the yellow car rolling down the rocks, when she might as well keep it, she had no reason to push it into the sea. Ken Clark is better than in "Tiffany Memorandum", the story is better(actually, we got a story), we even have an original hanging scene at minute 15.24. So, when disguised as a nun, when as an old lady in a wheelchair, Lady Chaplin-Daniela Bianchi (the beautiful from "From Russia with Love") kills in cold blood everyone she has to. Actually, they are a team of two sexy young women killers, exactly like in Deadlier Than the Male. The gadgets are not missing: if Elke Sommer kills with a bullet-cigar, Bianchi(who looks like a twin sister of Jill Ireland) kills with a gun disguised in the wheelchair. All the fight scenes look very real and, overall, it is pleasant to watch.

This is Ken Clark's most Bondian adventure and it is a hoot. Despite the fact that the numbers `077' are prominently featured on the door of a taxi taken by Ken at one of the many airports in this movie, this is not a Coplan flick. Ken is CIA agent Dick Malloy and although he looks slightly uncomfortable in his designer duds, he's still mighty dapper. SMLC was Ken's fourth spy flick and it's one of the most enjoyable especially for those who want to come down easy from Bond. It's full of gadgetry and has a Fleming feel to the plot.Don't miss this fun adventure. It's easily as entertaining as any Bond flick despite the absence of a charismatic villain.
