The title character is a vicious villainess who commands a Thought Factory in the Scottish Highlands. Intent on achieving world domination, she kidnaps ex-CIA agent Anthony Lawrence and forces him to help her hijack a secret nuclear weapon: the Polaris submarine.
The film was originally a pilot for a weekly TV series that failed to make the network's schedule.[3] It was broadcast as an ABC Movie of the Week in the United States on 15 January 1972 and then released in other markets as a feature film.[4][3]
Exteriors were filmed on location at Ascot, Berkshire; Mull, Argyll in Scotland; and Piccadilly in London.[5] Interiors were shot at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.[6]
Time Out London wrote "Lots of exotic sets and outlandish secret weapons, just a pity it's all rather old hat Bond stuff. Still, with Denholm Elliott giving sterling support as her sycophantic aide, Davis has a ball with some genuinely monstrous lines."[7]
