PLEASE READ THIS - This clip is from "Slave Girl" (1947), which was Yvone De Carlo's first leading role. Myself, and thousands of other Baby Boomers, fell in love with Ms De Carlo when she played the role of Lily Munster in "The Munsters" (1964-1966). Prior to this she had appeared in over two dozen films, mostly in uncredited roles as showgirls, secretaries and handmiadens in films like "Road to Morocco" (1942), "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943), and "Kismet" (1944).

The film was directed by Charles Lamont, who had been active in Hollywood since 1923, mostly in B-grade pictures. The film starred George Brent as a playboy loafer who ends up in Libya working for the US government. Albert Decker played the smarmy Pasha, Broderick Crawford played Chips Jackson, and Andy Devine played Ben, both captive American sailors. Humpy, the Talking Camel, provided painfully unamusing commentary throughout, principally to remind audiences not to take this ridiculous piece of drivel too seriously. Never a real danger.

I am always looking for new ideas for this series. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to drop me a line.
