LOUVE SOLITAIRE

Let's keep the week groovy with this cool clip from La Louve Solitaire (The Golden Claws of the Cat Girl). Made in 1968, this Eurocrime cult classic captured some of the Pop Art vibe of Danger Diabolik (release five months earlier). Based on the French "Lone Wolf" crime novel series by Albert Saine-Aube (not to be mistaken for the Lone Wolf series by American novelist Louis Joseph Vance), the plot of the film centered around the familiar convention of sending a criminal after a bigger criminal in exchange for clemency. We'll further into the series in the future. For now, let's enjoy this feast of pop visuals. In other news, check out my episodes of Cocktail Nation radio as I introduce some of the great spy classics and soundtracks: Episode #1 (Danger Man) and Episode #2 (The 10th Victim), Epsiode #3 (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), Episode #4 (Roger Moore/The Saint), and Episode #5 (The Avengers)Episode #6 (The Prisoner), and Episode #7 (The Ipcress File), Episode #8 (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.). Enjoy!
