Wikipedia article
'S.O.S. Conspiracin Bikini' (English: "S.O.S. Bikini Conspiracy") is a 1967 Mexican action adventure spy film written and directed by Ren Cardona Jr. and starring Julio Alemn, Sonia Furi and Sonia Infante. It is the first film in a duology centered on the character of Alex Dinamo, the "Mexican James Bond", followed by 'Peligro... Mujeres en accin' (1969).
Plot
The Secret Organizational Service (S.O.S.) is an international crime syndicate that has been successful with their all-female agents operating under the guise of a fashion model agency led by Madame Bristol (Sonia Infante). Meanwhile, the International Service is the governmental secret service dedicated to put an end to SOS's actions. An agent has infiltrated SOS, but she is in danger after sending a coded message to her supervising inspector. As a result, the International Service sends their top agent, Alex Dinamo (Julio Alemn), alongside agent Adriana (Sonia Furi), to give the undercover agent a hand.

Reception
Hctor Trejo Snchez 'Pinceladas de cine mexicano. La cultura popular mexicana retratada por el sptimo arte' wrote positively about 'S.O.S. Conspiracin Bikini' and 'Peligro... Mujeres en accin', in particular about the latter, saying that Alex Dinamo was the most relevant character of the Mexican spy cinema, and that it was successful in giving James Bond "a Latin face" and "a Latin American spirit." In 'Breve historia del cine mexicano: primer siglo, 18971997', Emilio Garca Riera was less enthusiastic, however, when citing the film as an example, alongside 'El asesino se embarca' (1967) and 'Cuatro contra el crimen' (1968), of Mexican films made in the 1960s to cash in on the success of the James Bond films, referring to them as examples of "underdeveloped James Bond-ism."
