Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 16, Week 3

Some people had trouble with the abstract math. True, Abba+The Beatles+2 Marx Brothers = 10, but what I was going for was two quartets and half of another = 8 1/2, the name of a trifling little film by a once in vogue Italian director of little importance....Freddie something. That is of course England's own Barbara Steele, whose haunting beauty became a staple of Italian horror films throughout the 60s, including Castle of Blood, An Angel for Satan, and of course Cemetery of the Living Dead. Though not a master of the thespian arts, she has a presence that once experienced is not soon forgotten. One of my all-time favorites photos of her is this one, which comes from a  1963 Vespa calendar. Simply lovely. The Tribeca Film Festival is about to begin, and I've already managed to see a small handful of the 1,859 titles programmed this year. Two wonderful films, two barely-watchable disasters, and a few that are just....meh. Expect some coverage here in the coming days. This week: I'll continue with the Filmbrain cinematic obsessions for yet another week. This one's too easy, I'm afraid. At the very least, that haircut screams a certain decade from the not-too-distant past. Name the actress and the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!

I saw Barbara Steele narrate Guy Maddin's Brand Upon The Brain last summer in LA. At first I was disappointed that we weren't seeing it with Crispin Glover or Isabella Rossellini...until she began to speak. She was pretty amazing.

Say what you will about the hair...but she looked terrific in that film!
