The film takes place in Burma and India during World War II. A British officer falls in love with his Japanese instructor at a military language school. They start a romance, but she is regarded as the enemy and is not accepted by his countrymen. They marry in secret and plan on spending his two weeks' leave together. When one of the other officers is injured, he is sent into the field as an interrogator. Later he is captured by the Japanese army when he is patrolling with a brigadier and an Indian driver in a Japanese-controlled zone. He escapes and returns to his own lines, only to discover that his wife is suffering from a brain tumour. Although the doctor initially gives her good odds of surviving, she dies after an operation.

Jimmy Sangster updates Sapper's 1920's gentleman adventurer, Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, as a super-smooth, swinging '60s super-spy. Sangster's story has the bosses of successive oil conglomerates being assassinated by beautiful but deadly woman. Bulldog Drummond is called in to investigate and is soon on the tail of the villainous Carl Petersen (Nigel Green) and his gang of luscious sexpots led by the sexy Irma (Elke Sommer). Ralph Thomas directs "Deadlier Than the Male" with a camp edge but with a deadly seriousness achieving a fine balance between sly humour and globe-trotting thrills. The film looks beautiful with stunning, colourful cinematography by Ernest Steward - the primary colours leap off the screen, while the deep focus gives the location photography, in particular, a glorious depth and feel. Richard Johnson is perfect as Drummond: smooth and sophisticated, but with plenty of grit when required. Nigel Green is equally good as suave and ruthless master criminal, Petersen, while Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina are sexy and deadly as the evil master assassins. The pair make for a spectacular and iconic sight as they emerge from the ocean clad in skimpy bikinis and armed with harpoon guns. Overall "Deadlier Than the Male" is a classy and stylish production, with a great storyline and great characters. Importantly it also manages to adroitly avoid coming across as a Bond clone.½
