Girls of the Underworld (aka Mad Youth, 1940) plus Probation (Chesterfield Motion Picture Company, 1932)
Ah, the cautionary tales of the 30's and 40's - and boy they knew how to sell them on the poster, eh? I haven't seen either - but I would love to - and maybe I have them in some bargain box set in the video vault - who knows?
From Hell It Came (Allied Artists, 1957)
Starlog writer Ed Naha said about this one: "And to hell it can go!" It is an awesomely silly 50's creature feature - but I'm not nearly so willing to dismiss it as was Mr. Naha. An executed South Seas prince comes back as a walking tree monster with a meanie face on the trunk. You know that's cinema gold, right?
I featured the Nabonga monster in an earlier post about silly movie monsters - if you want to check it out please go HERE.
Le Body Shop (???, ???)
I couldn't find out anything about this movie online. I know it exists because I remember it airing on Showtime when I was a pre-teen - so I'm going to say it was a French import - most likely made in the early to mid 70's. I wonder why it's so hard to track down?
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

Thanks man! Now I know I'm not entirely crazy!
DeleteI know, I like the posters so much better than the actual film.
DeleteWhat in the world is "scarlet vice"?
ReplyDeleteA really great prostitute name?
DeleteI think the quote from Ed Naha is possibly more well known than the film itself... I've never actually seen it, but it honestly looks like something I'd have a great time with. LOVE the poster Le Body Shop... they knew how to do a poster for sexploitation back in those days!
ReplyDeleteThey did indeed! Try to track down a copy of From Hell It Came - it's well worth the effort!
