Caroline Munro Freed from the Stocks
A short moment from Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter in which Carla, a wild soul in a not so wild world, has been put in the stocks for dancing on a Sunday. Note the tomatoes (not that rotten looking but you weren't supposed to see them for more than a second). An outsider, one wonders how her character was able to survive before this time. Her love and loyalty for Kronos, after he saves her from this fate, put her in considerably greater danger. it is not always wise to pally around with vampire hunters. They can be a tad... ruthless.
This was Brian Clemens' only film as director. He was also the writer and producer (with Albert Fennell). Kronos, named after the Greek personification of time, was intended to be a continuing character, who would, as the name suggests, be somehow outside of time arriving in many eras to deal with the scourge of vampirism. It is quite unlike Hammer's other vampire films and seems to belong to a later age. Heroes, even flawed ones, were not in vogue in the early 70s. 'Captain Kronos', although well thought of, just didn't open well enough to revive the ailing fortunes of Hammer. It's a hard film not to love. Laurie Johnson's score is just as rousing as any of the John Williams pieces for Indiana Jones and Superman.
When the magazine, 'House of Hammer', first came out, the story of Captain Kronos was continued in a comic strip by Steve Moore and Alan Gibson. It felt like the ideal character to feature in continuing adventures and recently, I believe, the character has been revived in another comic book series (but I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to comics now).
Anyway, this is a very short scene with Caroline Munro who has become an iconic star for many of us with a love for the cinema of this era. And here she is, Caroline Munro Freed from the Stocks.
