Barbarella is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Roger Vadim, based on the French comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest.
The film stars Jane Fonda as the title character, a space traveler and representative of the United Earth government sent to find scientist Durand Durand, who has created a weapon that could destroy humanity.
Vadim attempted to cast several actresses—in the title role before choosing Fonda, his then-wife: Brigitte Bardot, who was not interested in a sexualized role, and Sophia Loren who was pregnant and felt that she would not fit the role. Fonda was uncertain about the film, but Vadim convinced her by saying that science fiction was a rapidly-evolving genre.
The film was particularly popular in the United Kingdom, where it was the year’s second-highest-grossing film. Contemporary film critics praised Barbarella’s visuals and cinematography but found its storyline weak after the first few scenes.

Honey Rider is a fictional character in the 1962 Bond film Dr. No. In the film, she is played by Swiss actress Ursula Andress, with her lines dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl due to Andress’ heavy accent.
Honey Ryder is a beachcomber making a living selling seashells in Miami. She is a very independent woman claiming to not need help from anyone. Resourceful and courageous, Honey Ryder states that she can defend herself against any hostile when she first meets Bond. Although she is at first wary of Bond, he is allowed to get closer when he comments that his intentions are honourable.
Honey Ryder is generally regarded as the first Bond girl. Ryder’s entrance, emerging from the ocean in a white bikini holding two large seashells, the sun shining on her wet blonde hair, is considered a classic James Bond scene, establishing both the character and actress as a sex symbol. Ursula Andress referred to the Dr. No bikini as the “secret of her success.”

Two-Faced Woman is a 1941 American romantic comedy film directed by George Cukor and starring Greta Garbo in her final film role. The movie was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Garbo plays a wife who pretends to be her own fictitious twin sister in order to recapture the affections of her estranged husband (Douglas), who has left her for a former girlfriend (Bennett).
The film is generally regarded as the box-office flop that ended Garbo’s career in an unsuccessful attempt to modernize or “Americanize” her image in order to increase her shrinking fan base in the United States. By mutual agreement, Garbo’s contract with MGM was terminated shortly after Two-Faced Woman was released, and it became her last film.
