25 GOOD REASONS TO WATCH OLDE MOVIES Part 02

 Life without history is meaningless! So where are we at in the wheel of life?  5% or 93%? 

Your guess is as good as mine, but all I know is that there's a Helluva lot of good reasons to look back, because the future looks dim, but the past is still a shining star!

So, here they are, 25 more reasons to appreciate the past, in no particular order!

#26 - Agnès Spaak - "The Secret Of Dr. Orloff"  (1964)

#27 - Barbara Eden - "I Dream Of Jeannie"

 #28 - Barbara Steele - "Black Sabbath" etc, etc, etc!

 #29 - Barboura Morris - "Bucket Of Blood" & "Wasp Woman" So mouth watering, it makes me want to Barbecue something!

 #30 - Carolyn (Morticia Addams) Jones

 #31 - Daliah Lavi - "The Silencers" "Some Girls Do"

 #32 - Dany Carrel - "The Hands Of Orlac"

#33 - Isn't this just the cutest damn picture you've ever seen of Diana Rigg in your life?

It was in mine!

 #34 - Elizabeth Montgomery - "Bewitched"

 #35 - Elke Sommer

When I was digging around looking for photos, sometimes I ended up with more than one. It's not that I necessarily like these ladies more than the others, but why beat myself up trying to pick out one? It's not worth the hassle, when you can get two or more for the price of one!

 #36 - Eva Pflug - "Raumpatrouille Orion"

#37 - Honor Blackman - "The Avengers"

#38 - Irish McCalla - "Sheena: Queen Of The Jungle"

#39 - Jeanne Carmen - "The Monster Of Piedras Blancas" and an amazing golfer!

#40 - Julie Newmar - If I was going to truly fall in love with one of these gals, I think it would be Julie! Can you blame me?

#41 - Kamala Devi - "The Brass Bottle"

#42 - Kumi Mizuno - "Gojira, Ebirâ, Mosura: Nankai No Daiketto" etc.

#43 - Lilli Palmer - All four of these shots are so good, I couldn't just pick one or two!

#44 - Lori Eastside as Nada. Her performance just drives me crazy!

#45 - Maria Perschy - "Horror Of The Zombies" etc.

#46 - Sylva Koscina -"Deadlier Than The Male" etc.

 #47 - Mara Corday - "Tarantula" Etc.

 48 - Shirley Eaton - "Goldfinger" etc.

#49 - Soledad Miranda - "Sound Of Horror" "Vampyros Lesbos" etc.

#50 - Susan Hart - "The Ghost In The Invisible Bikini" "The Slime People" etc.

Seriously, don't you want to see every movie or TV show that each and every one of these gals has appeared in now? 

If not, then you just might want to check yourself into the emergency room ASAP, because you have no pulse!!
And if you just happen to still not see your favourite on this list, don't fret because I'm working on Part 3 right now!

AROUND THE WORLD, UNDER THE SEA - "Hold Your Breath" (1966)

Here's a real interesting Saturday Night Special for you that was made in 1966, and it's called...

"Around The World, Under The Sea."

"Around The World, Under The Sea" is a movie about a team of civilians out to set up a series of underwater earthquake monitors, so we've got a better chance of seeing those suckers coming, and might have a chance to avoid major destruction from future Tsunamis etc.

This movie has an all-star cast that includes Gary Merrill as Dr. August 'Gus' Boren. Gary Merrill was in "Mysterious  Island," "The Twilight Zone" episode titled "Still Valley," and "The Outer Limits" episode titled "The Human Factor," among his 112 credits.

 

This is our first introduction to Shirley Eaton's character Dr. Margaret E. Hanford!

This is our second introduction to Dr. Hanford, also known as Maggie!
Maggie will turn out to be the only female on the team.

All the team members have to recruited, and they all have special water skills! Keenan Wynn lives in this fantastic underwater dwelling!

Slacker supreme, Keenan has only 281 credits to his name. Included in there is "The Twilight Zone" episode called "A World Of His Own," and a whole bunch of performances as colorful characters with names like Harvey Huntington Honeywagon, and/or Colonel 'Bat' Guano.

You couldn't go wrong in the 60's using Lloyd Bridges in an underwater flick after his successful run as Mike Nelson in 155 episodes of "Sea Hunt"from 1958 to 1961.

"Around The World, Under The Sea" is another Ivan Tors/Ricou Browning underwater matchup! Ivan was responsible for "Island Of The Lost," and the whole "Sea Hunt" series, and Ricou was the man inside the "Creature From The Black Lagoon" movies. The two of them together were responsible for  the "Flipper" TV series! These two guys together have more experience shooting oceanic scenes than anyone I'm pretty sure!

Marshall (Cult Of The Cobra, Fiend Without A Face, It! The Terror From Beyond Space) Thompson is Dr. Orin Hillyard.

How's  Dr. Hillyard going to make it with Maggie with a name like Orin Hillyard?

Speaking of unfortunate names, how about the composer of the music in this film, 

Harry Sukman?

I told you the cast was awesome. Here's David (Illya Kuryakin) McCallum as Dr. Philip Volker. David was also in two of "The Outer Limits" Episodes, "The Sixth Finger," and "The Forms Of Things Unknown." I've never ever seen one, but David McCallum has been on the show "NCIS" for 389 episodes, or the last sixteen years! Amazing!!

All the Doctors have a thing for Maggie!

This was just too good of a shot to only use once!

The Father in the "Flipper" series, Brian Kelly fit into this role quite nicely! Brian had a horrible motorcycle accident four years later that ended his acting career, but he still went on to be the Executive Producer of "Blade Runner."

Get ready cause here it comes!

Ka-Blooey!!

I'll just leave you with these last two shots!

It's looks so cool when you have to cram six people into one tight shot and get away with it!

Mr. Sukman won an Oscar in 1961 for the music in a movie called "Song Without End."

Other Ivan Tors films that Harry Sukman composed music for were "Riders To The Stars," and "Gog." There's one copy of the soundtrack LP with this great cover on Discogs for $6.50, but after that they are $20.00 and up!
