Her ambitions are thwarted by the inability of either her or any of her followers to resist the manly charms of CIA agent Nick West (George Nader), whose patronising refusal to take Sumuru’s plotting seriously is precisely what they should be fighting against. The plan falls apart, just like Sumuru’s plan for her women to seduce the world’s most powerful men. Apparently not – except maybe with his life.Įd Naha, in the book Horrors: From Scream To Screen describes this film thus: ‘Large-breasted women love to torture men in their rituals.’ This has the curious distinction of being totally misleading, like he only saw the poster, and yet also strangely accurate.Įssentially, this is a light-hearted sexy spy romp, or that’s the plan. Is he paying for this treatment? you wonder. Although in an early scene they are observing the struggles of an Oriental man caught between the thighs of one of their number. ‘Beauty’ is key: her followers are chosen largely on the basis of their good looks – Sumuru has soldiers and a ray gun that can turn people to stone, but her headquarters resembles a finishing school, where girls sit around looking decorous in matching outfits and don’t seem to do very much of anything at all. Sumuru leads an all-female organisation bent on world domination and the ushering in of a new age of ‘peace and beauty’. The notional ‘million eyes’ belong to her followers. She doesn’t really have a million eyes – that’s the first disappointment. ‘I have a million eyes, for I am Sumuru’, says Shirley Eaton in voiceover at the beginning of this particular disaster.
