Based on its imdb page, the million eyes of Sumuru was a pretty terrible movie. Despite that, I have a soft spot for these kind of cheesy 60’s exploitation flicks. They’re impossible to defend on an artistic, cultural or political level, yet hard for me to resist when I stumble across them late at night with a drink in my hand. I love the over-the-top poster below, and I’m guessing that a lot of my readers might enjoy this clip from the movie.
You can see the trailer for the movie here. In typically culturally sensitive fashion, the ‘asian’ Sumuru was played by the wonderful but very non-asian Shirley Eaton (famous for her role in Goldfinger)
Frankie Avalon in a kink movie?
Really?
And it’s available on youtube for those who aren’t believers:

And either in an act of incredible sleuthing or pure chance, today happens to be Frankie Avalon’s 74th birthday.
Be well Frankie, and enjoy your residuals.
That’s a funny coincidence. Certainly not planned on my part! Hope he’s enjoying a relaxing retirement.

Thanks! This is another good one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRrnUD6MtWo – Deadlier Than The Male with Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina as delicious assassins. The best scenes start at 6:30, 15:00, and 44:00.
Looks like fun! Thanks for the link. Elke Sommer is always a treat to watch.
