Look at those eyes, girls! This is the one where a group of soldiers on leave in the Far East (two of whom are Richard Long and David Jansen, my first crush) witness a snake worship ceremony, where, since this is a cheapie, the natives are played by white actors.
Faith Domergue, in all her Fifties glamour, follows them to the USA as Lisa Moya (even the surname has a snake ring to it) and one by one hunts them down and kills them. Do not look into those eyes, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to wonder if this film inspired Julie Taymor. The snake is never seen, but is enacted by a shadow puppet, which is both creepy and campy.
And that cat! It knows a bad one when seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't miss this camp classic, girls! We will all be watching. It could be the most fun of your week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you, tonight at eight, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rats, I missed it!!
ReplyDeleteI do love Faith and her fifties-era glamour!!!
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteFaith looked her best. You will have a chance to see her the following Saturday, when Svengoolie shows "It Came From Beneath The Sea."
