Cinema Retro #31

Description

Cinema Retro enters its eleventh year (and 2015) with another cracking issue! Our cover lead is an in-depth career overview of blaxploitation actress Pam Grier featuring lots of 'sexploitation' photos! Our 'Film in Focus' is the excellent Robert Mitchum remake of Farewell My Lovely, and the British TV show The New Avengers is the subject of 'Pinewood Past'. A new 3-parter 'Welch Out West' begins with a 7-page feature on Bandolero!, and we go on location to Portugal with then and now photos from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Italian B-movie Sci-Fi films are covered in Gamma 1, and we look at actress Olinka Berova in Hammer's Vengeance of She. And as if that wasn't enough, there are articles on Bite the Bullet, Staircase and an in-depth look at the career of director Ted Post (Hang 'Em High, Magnum Force, etc). All of this, plus our usual round of soundtrack CDs, DVDs and book reviews, as well as Raymond Benson's 'Top Ten', which starts our 'new' decade; the Fifties!
