Published in the U.S. by Doubleday & Co., it is rich with Fleming flavor, but has one distinct difference: the secret agent is a female 007 whose name is a misnomer if ever there was one. Modesty — who somehow finds room in her overcrowded bra for all kinds of vicious weapons—is an orphan, a millionairess, and former jewel thief. She Also is an expert on foods, pistols, Oriental languages, Yoga, and Thai-style personal combat, which supposedly is quicker than Karate. And her sexual activity is a raging forest fire. In all, she makes Bond look about as neat and sophisticated as Gabby Hayes—even after she spends the last chapter exhaustively killing off 20 die-hard villains. HOTTEST ACT in show business — namely the topless swimsuit fad — seems destined to remain where it all began, in San Francisco (see page 4). Recently, a Chicago nightclub called Le Bistro attempted to show similar form and imported a bevy of bare-breasted discotheque dancers from the coast. Large crowds gathered in eager anticipation, but —unfortunately—the long arm of the law intruded at the last minute and threatened to clap the cuties in the clink if they did not wear either pasties or a mesh covering. Thus, even though the Supreme Court is on their side, the gals covered up. The audience settled for less, but city hall lost a lot of bosom pals. TOO MUCH of a good thing finally proved the downfall of MM's movie critic, who prepared the June "MM Goes to the Movies" feature with the alertness of a man who has had one too many ribald reels. The film in question was identified as World of Flesh, distributed by United Theatrical Amusements. The naked truth, however, is that the scenes were from The Casting Director, which is owned and distributed by Sonney Amusement Enterprises, Inc. And our critic, obviously suffering from overexposure to overexposed girls, is recovering from his em-bare-assment by watching Mary Poppins 25 times.
