Just got done watching this and I must say


I thought this was quite a good movie. I don't need to give a review since most people posting here have already seen it but I definetly will be suggesting this one to my friends.

I also thought both the lead females were incredibly good looking which also helped things along.

I gave it a 7/10

I immediately recognized Ariadna Welter ("Donna") from The Brainiac a.k.a. El Baron del Terror (1962) as she had a very distinctive beauty. On the subject of that title, I always thought The Baron, Abel Salazar kind of looked like Robert Alda.

The Devil's Hand was a pretty good cheapie.

Christian and Welter are the film's key assets (bad girl-good girl) although Alda was good as usual. I'd like to find a crisp print instead of the blurry 16mm.

Apparently you missed Jeanne Carmen, from THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS, UNTAMED YOUTH and countless other films. Carmen was a cheesecake doll who has been linked to Elvis, Sinatra, Eddie Cochran (he wrote his hit "Jeanne, Jeanne, Jeanne" about her) and she was close friends with Marilyn Monroe (both had started with the same modeling agency).

I understand that the female leads Linda Christian and Ariadna Welter are sisters as well with Linda being the older of the two.
