Britt Ekland in The Double Man




Before she was featured in The Man with the Golden Gun, Britt Ekland appeared in another spy film: The Double Man. Directed by the amazing Franklin J. Schaffner and starring the legendary Yul Brynner, The Double Man is a classic not to be missed. Though the scale of the film is small, taking place mostly in and around an Austrian ski resort, it is a fun and tense ride as Yul Brynner discovers that not only has his son died but something altogether more sinister is going on. Britt Ekland is around as superior eye candy.

Rosemary Forsyth in The War Lord

In 1965, Rosemary Forsyth appeared in her second movie, The War Lord. The project was a team-up between two masters of the epic film, star actor Charlton Heston and director Franklin J. Schaffner. Rosemary Forsyth played the love interest in this medieval masterpiece and is appropriately beautiful in her role as a young villager who is coveted by new ruler Heston. The War Lord is an amazing film and I'm surprised it is not more popular as it towers (pun intended...the movie revolves around a lone tower overlooking the territory) over so many other medieval movies.

Here is some contemporary newspaper coverage of Rosemary Forsyth and The War Lord, including photos, an article and two original advertisements for the film:









Rosemary Forsyth actually doesn't have that much to do in The War Lord. She is mostly there to look nice and to look shocked at all the atrocities that occur throughout the movie. And so, finally, here are some images of Rosemary Forsyth in The War Lord (click to view full size):

Sissy Spacek in Prime Cut

If you haven't seen Prime Cut...check it out, it is certainly worth watching. Of course, Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman do their thing and the movie is fantastic. However, the presence of Sissy Spacek in her introductory film role raises it to a whole new level (as if the movie wasn't good enough already). She looks great in the movie, displaying a youthful exuberance and giving off such an overtly sexual vibe, it's no wonder she became so famous. Internet image searches are already overrun with pictures from this fine performance, but nevertheless I felt it necessary to throw a few more out there.

Genevieve Bujold in Earthquake

In 1974, Genevieve Bujold was one of the many stars of the big-budget disaster movie Earthquake. It may have been the film where she looked the best, at least in the sense of basic overall visual appeal. This really was the role that presented her to the mass audiences of the United States and beyond. Sure, she had already been nominated for an Oscar and been in a ton of things, but Earthquake was a different kind of movie. Led by the one of the former kings of the epic film, Charlton Heston, Earthquake was a big project (though quickly overshadowed by the immense success of The Towering Inferno) made to been seen by millions. Thus, Genevieve Bujold was made to have general sex appeal, wearing a tight-fitting pink outfit throughout most of the film. She also has perhaps the best and most befitting hairstyle she ever wore throughout her long career.
