Description
Cast: Tamara Dobson, Shelley Winters, Bernie Casey
6′ 2″ and dressed only in eye-catching high-fashion gear, Tamara Dobson is a powerful screen presence as special agent Cleopatra Jones. Cleo struts into action, ordering an airstrike on a Turkish poppy field and igniting a war with L.A. drug queenpin “Mommy” (a delightfully over-the-top Shelley Winters).
