Barbara Steele is so smokin hot...

Great image, I love the Italian poster art from this period...

Very striking, even startling poster. Good use of colors.

If you wanna see a real laughfest (similar to the Capt. America cheesefest flick) check out Bava's ode to secret agents in his film: Danger: Diabolik. They have it on Netflix. MST3K did their version of it, which is where I caught it. There was a comic book series too but I don't know which came first?

Mob- I imd'd Barbara Steele and in the pics they had, she looked kinda weird. Maybe, I should investigate further.

Johnny- The use of colours is def the most interesting thing about it. If it wasn't so huge(55'x78' I'm guessing) I might be tempted to buy it.

Vox- You're not selling me with that comparison, sir.

Steele is very harsh featured, so she'd be an acquired taste, but I think she's hot in a kinda strong dominatrix way.

The Danger:Diabolik film is based on the comics if memory serves, and was also the inspiration for the Body Movin' vid by the Beasties, if that gives you more of a reference point.

Ah, a little.
