Hi Jenny,
Thanks, I forgot all about Four Frightened People!
I couldn't open the Doctormacro link, but I found these lobby cards from a post from way back in 2006:

For some reason Doctor Macro was down for a day or so.
I love those FFP lobby cards. I hadn't seen the third one before. Herbert looks like Frankenstein.
Another one for the over-sexed exotic locale theme:
Bird of Paradise.

Hi Jenny,
Yeah, doctormacro seems to be working fine now.
I know, Herbert looks a little stiff in the third card, but you gotta like him in that first card.
Bird of Paradise is a good one too, with a young Lon Chaney Jr. I just cant seem to get the link to work.
Safe in Hell and Mandalay are also hot ones, along with Hell Harbor (with leading man John Holland, who seems to have disappeared from films after 1931), Pagan Lady, Golden Dawn, and So This is Africa. Film wise, you have the lurid, overheated South Seas romance and the lurid, overheated jungle romance to choose from.I really get a kick out of watching these types of films. They are generally a pretty entertaining (though obviously not politically correct) genre/sub-genre.
