Loved De Carlo in those UI pictures!! And Zeev is right! They have great
posters. Too bad little of that Universal catalog is available on dvd!!
Also-- I saw Yvonne De Carlo on Broadway in Stephen Sondheim's brilliant
musical FOLLIES in the early 1970s. She sang the great anthem to longevity,
"I'm Still Here." And she was indeed!!
RIP.

I use to watch old movies on t.v. as a kid as often as possible.
Growing up in the fifties, everything was black and white on our t.v. set, even
well into the 60's. I was a huge Munsters fan and remember seeing the movie
Band of Angels on t.v. and I couldn't believe that beautiful lady was Lily
Munster a.k.a Yvonne De Carlo. My old framing warehouse use to be in North
Hollywood and about 15 years ago or so, I was standing in line at a Thrifty
drug store and she walked up and got in line behind me. She had put on quite a
bit of weight and had a moo-moo on (those of you that grew up in the 50's and
60's know what I mean), but she still had that beautiful face and hair. I
remember when I went to put my items on the counter she was setting her items
down also and she looked at me and smiled and I said hello. I don't know if she
thought I recognized her or not, but that was it. Every time I go into that
Thrifty store, I have thought of her. I was sad to hear of her
passing, but she had a good long run and will be remembered fondly.

I find it a bit sad that for so many people De Carlo is synanymous to TV's
The Munsters.
The older among us will surly remember De Carlo as the sexy, feisty, fiery,
queen of the adventure movies of our youth.
Whether its in the Wild West(Tomahawk 1951), abord a pirate ship(Buccaneer
Girl 1950), in the treacherous dark allies of old Algiers(Casbah 1948),
decorating a saloon on a gambling riverboat(River Lady 1948), on a far away
island in the South Seas(Hurricane Smith 1952), or in a classic Film
Noir(Brute Force 1947), we always knew we can expect a real foxy lady.
A lot of her early movies were with Universal International which produced
some of the most beautiful posters in the late 40's to mid 50's. And they
are still reasonably priced.
