THEODORA: SLAVE EMPRESS 1954 Gianna Maria Canale--I really need to pay closer attention to names and not get her confused with the guy from the Eastwood westerns.
She is really something else-and this early peplum has her winning a chariot race against the Emperor of Rome.
Irene Papas portrays her scheming sister. They worked together previously in a George Raft movie which I must seek out now.
WHY MUST I DIE? 1960 When I started this I did not know that it was going to end on Debra Paget's birthday. What a fitting movie too-I've never seen her like this. She is a safe cracker, commits armed robbery, two homicides (shoots a blind man in the back) and says mean things like: "Speed it up creep! I'd enjoy putting a bullet in your guts!"
She causes Terry Moore to end up on death row and Bert "I was Columbo first" Freed can't help her.
The final act is kind of implausible ridiculous but who cares. A must for Paget fans.
