From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This version of Modesty Blaise was an American TV pilot program, intended to be the start of a TV series. The program was based (very loosely) on the characters created by Peter O'Donnell for his comic strip, Modesty Blaise, and the plot was based (even more loosely) on the first Modesty Blaise book (which in turn had been a novelization of a practically unused screenplay that Peter O'Donnell had written for the first Modesty Blaise film).
Ann Turkel as Modesty Blaise and Lewis Van Bergen as Willie Garvin in the 1982 TV pilot.
The program featured Ann Turkel as Modesty Blaise, Lewis Van Bergen as Willie Garvin, Keene Curtis as Tarrant, and Sab Shimono as Weng, with Carolyn Seymour as villainess Debbie DeFarge. It ran 50 minutes. The planned TV series was never made, however the pilot was televised by the ABC network.
