Bond Girls

If the males have problems with a Bond theme, it sometimes seems worse for females - gold body-paint or an evening dress - but this need not be the case:

Ursula Andress might have been voted the sexist for her white bikini entrance in 'Dr No' (imitated by Halle Berry in 'Die Another Day') but it's Jill Masterton's golden girl that's become the iconic image.

The early Bond films tended to generally favour the exotic or arm-candy approach to most of the girls in the films, although there were obvious exceptions.

Later films began to show more empowered females who could give as good as they got and were equal in many respects to Bond - there were even a few female villains and turncoats!
