The legendary Bette Davis starred in this madcap pilot for a weekly series that never materialized. The reference to a Bond villain in the headline is no coincidence since this British-produced thriller was designed to TV's version of 007. Davis' supporting cast included Robert Wagner and a bevy of Brits including Denholm (A ROOM WITH A VIEW) Elliot, Gordon (UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS) Jackson and Catherine (SPACE: 1999) Schell. It would have been interesting to see Bette chew the scenery each week as a madwoman achieving world domination. Note: this was many years before Oprah took on this role.
