B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

REST IN PEACE, STELLA STEVENS - FEMME FATALE PASSES AT 84, STARRED IN MANY MOVIES INCLUDING "THE SILENCERS" (1966) WITH DEAN MARTIN

 

Stella Stevens on the set of The Silencers. 

One of the all-time greatest femme fatales, Stella Stevens, has passed at age 84. A hard-working actress, her contributions to '60's and '70's cinema can not be understated, she also starred on stage and TV. In her spare time and later on in life, she loved animals and had a horse and llama farm as well as an organization that saved cats. 

In today's tribute pick, she starred wonderfully alongside Dean Martin in the first Matt Helm movie The Silencers. She plays a clumsy, inept but beautiful enemy agent who along with Matt Helm tries to bring down an evil enterprise out to destroy the world. It's a great mid-'60's film that mixes spy and comedy, three sequels followed. 

Currently streams on Tubi, Crackle, and Fubo.  3.0 stars/5
