<[:-} barbara steele, the girly years
rod convinced me to re-enter the world of italian gothic horror, on dvd, after being burned everytime i rented one of the consistently atrocious vhs transfers. oh yeah! this is a great looking film, all the way from the set design through the lighting to the way it was photographed. that said, you still have to have a strong appreciation for campiness. after all, the key word is "gothic." after seeing barbara steele in such scary roles as the one she played in "caged heat," i was amused by the girly-girly quality she brought to the princess here, down to the mincing way she runs. her contrasting role as the witch is less successful, more wicked than evil, more tangy than rancid, but i guess that was the intent. after all, the key word is "gothic." a lumpy, ill-defined, nude portrait of "the witch" seems to be an actual portrait of steele, with enough vagueness added to mollify the censors. the pose is a lot more playboy than museum.
