An interesting excursion to 'Fuller's Paradise' last week !...I was thinking it would be great if Rex could make available some of the pre-archive interviews... for history's sake y'know !
Captive Wild Woman had Acquanetta in the lead role. First movie I remember seeing on television back in the 1950s, and it scared the crap out of me!
