Girls On Film - Caroline!
Caroline Munro might be my favorite of the all the myriad beauties who have graced the screen. Unlike so many others, she has dark luxurious hair and a penetrating stare. Her eyes are stunning and I despite her well-known reputation as a proper lady, I cannot remember a more hypnotizing come hither look.
Ms. Munro was in some of my favorite flicks too (because she's in them I reckon) such as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad with its late era Harryhausen magic, and even then all eyes are on Carol. There was Captain Kronos, the Vampire Killer and a few other Hammer flicks even one in which she falls prey to Christiopher Lee's Dracula himself.
Most recently I fell in love all again with Munro in her starring role as Stella Starr in the Star Wars wannabe movie Star Crash. It's a crazy movie with a thousand moving parts, but most eyes most of the time are on Munro again.
Rip Off
I've heard of Captain Kronos, Vampire Killer but I've never seen it which is strange because I've seen most Hammer films.
ReplyDeleteI was able to get my mitts on it a few years back (after seeing on TCM I think) and was chasing because of my affection for Munro. It's pretty good with some memorable scenes, and not just the ones featuring the fetching Caroline. I did a review many moons ago and was considering re-running after watching the flick again. I think I'll do that.
