this be the modesty that we do not know . it be hint at and summarize in the comic strip for the syndicate to sell to newspaper . lee and janet batchler be true modesty blaise fan who be give the dream job tell a prequel story of modesty that the fan never saw before . in their audio commentary and they admit that that they make change in her origin to make the story run smoother . the purist should also note that we really do not know if everything she tell miklos be true because she be stall for time . i do not rent or borrow the dvd like other reviewer do and i buy it . and i do not want a refund . i watch it three time and i do not sleep through it . great dialog and well drawn character that i care about ( even bad guy miklos ) just like in the novel and comic strip . i too can not wait for the next modesty ( and willie ) film and especially if this prequel be a sign of what to come .
