Interesting facts

S*H*E* or S+H+E: Security Hazards Expert is a 1980 spy film concerning a sexy undercover female espionage agent. Starring Cornelia Sharpe and Omar Sharif, it was written by Richard Maibaum and is a Martin Bregman production. The main title song was performed by Linda Gaines.

Production

Director Lewis says he did the film "because it was three months in Rome on someone else's money" but that he felt Maibaum's script "was awful and I think I almost had nothing to do with him. My ex wife did the rewrite and off we went.

Lewis says Ekberg was "very difficult" to work with but executive producer Martin Bergman refused to fire her. Lewis decided to fire her anyway but rehired her when she promised to behave which she did. He also said Cornelia Sharpe needed a lot of takes, which caused friction with Omar Sharif who did not.
