FUTURE WOMEN
(AKA: DIE SIEBEN DER SUMURU)(1969)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics


The basic of this is an all woman kingdom
is making plans to take over the world! Kind
of a reverse James Bond movie, but not nearly
of the same calibur! By the way, this is far
from being sci-fi!!!! Nudity! C

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Since I recently watched Mario Bava's Danger
Diabolik, I had an urge to see some other,
lesser known spy movies. This is Jess Franco's
attempt at the genre and he almost pulls it
off. If it weren't for some lapses in action
(and logic) this one would have been very good.
But far too often, nothing much of interest
is going on. In a typical James Bond movie,
there are many instances where the action
stops to further the plot. In The Girl from
Rio, these stops in the action do nothing
to advance the story. They are just there.

Franco probably had one of the bigger "name"
casts in The Girl from Rio that he ever worked
with. Shirley Eaton, from Goldfinger, is the
villainous Sumuru. George Sanders, who I
always get a kick out of watching, is very
funny as the equally villainous Sir Masius.
The biggest problem with the casting is
Richard Wyler as the films hero. He's not
interesting enough to carry the part.

Having watched a few Franco movies over
the past few years, The Girl from Rio is
decidedly tame. While the movie has its
moments, the usual Franco sleaze is not
evident. Too bad - it might have made
some of the non-action moments more
tolerable. - bensonmum2
