Quick Answer

What is The Million Eyes of Sumuru about?

The Million Eyes of Sumuru is a 1967 United Kingdom action-adventure crime film directed by Lindsay Shonteff about a femme fatale who seeks world domination through her network of female agents.

Programmer's Pick

Swapping tuxedos for miniskirts, Sumuru’s criminal empire gives the spy genre a gender-flipped twist. Between knockout gas, upskirts, and an endless parade of all-female guards, it serves 1960s pulp with a wink and a stiletto heel. Watch out, Bond—Sumuru’s got a plan, and it doesn’t involve martinis.
