The swimming pool scene!


Enough said! Marylyn and a bikini & heels! Damn!

Yes, a very small bikini for 1962. She was great looking.

The following year she was cast as Arch Hall, Jr.'s, gal pal in another low-budget movie called The Sadist, in which she didn't have a line. They were a pair of psycho killers who terrorize and plan to murder three people at a remote gas station. MM didn't do much more than hang onto Arch Jr. as he threatened the others. Considering this film came from the same people who made Eegah critics were amazed at how well they handled this minor black & white movie. Hall played a really frightening maniac in this truly scary and unbelievably tense film, which is a real surprise.

But no bikini, and no dialogue, for Marilyn in that one. She's not even the leading lady, only the number-two girl.

Amen. I couldn't believe how tiny the bikini was, but I was glad that it was. I only wish she'd done some nude scenes. She was gorgeous.

And just to disillusion us all, while I haven't been able to find out Marilyn Manning's birth date -- and assuming she's still with us -- today she'd be somewhere in the vicinity of 75!

Her filmography lists only three movies: Eegah! (1962), The Sadist (1963) and something called What's Up Front! (1964), in which she played a character called Candy Cotton. God knows what that thing is, but both the title and her character's name suggest that there might have been a touch of that nudity you mentioned...though even if so, how much there'd be in a 1964 film is questionable.

Her IMDb page says that she was to have appeared in a TV series in 1961 but wasn't in the pilot and the show never sold anyway. I'm guessing this means she was born about 1940, give or take a year or two. I just hope she had a good life and that she stayed gorgeous and sexy as long as possible!

Definitely a great bikini bod. She also looked mighty sexy doing that poolside dance near the end of the film. Too bad her acting left something to be desired (though, as been mentioned already, she was much better in The Sadist).

No blah, blah, blah!

I popped the wrong side of the dvd in and watched this. Came on to ask why did Roxy's father go into the hills by himeself? Oh well, who cares with the pool scene.
