Even as campy and bizarre, Barbarella (1968) is a horrid science fiction movie, and one would do better finding a clip of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood romping through "Some Velvet Morning" from 1967. But still, the music endures, and so do the visuals of Anita Pallenberg (forget her voice -- it's dubbed over) and Jane Fonda. Pallenberg as the Queen of Sogo, Fonda in the lead role, such as it is, such as they are . . .

even though I never saw this one, at least I have heard of it.
Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Sex-Ploits ... just the right mixture for mass appeal.
I must disagree my man. Barbarella is just great fun. I saw this on my SF book club mailing yesterday and almost bought it to have.
Wait...does she have a clear horn in that first picture?
I think I've seen this before...but I can't remember. I know it was something like it though.
Erik, those chicks always got to wear the coolest outfits! Dig the groove boots!
