229 Curse of Simba ( 1965 )
This very un-pc film was director Lindsay Shonteff's follow-up to Devil Doll and had the same lead in Bryant Haliday. It's not very good . The wafer -thin plot takes a long while to get going and the film lacks any character you could give a stuff about.
Haliday plays white game hunter Mike Stacey in Africa who crosses into the territory of the Simbasa tribe to kill a wounded lion, thus invoking a lethal curse. When he returns to London he is plagued by nightmares and strange visions of vengeful negroes.
Lisa Danielly ( as Janet )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Lisa was originally Mary Bodington from Reading, a solicitor's daughter who studied acting in France. She was active from the late forties to the mid-nineties when her last role was playing the Queen in a dire TV movie about Princess Diana. She died in 2014 aged 84.
Beryl Cunningham ( as Nightclub dancer )
Sex : Performs an extended dance routine in a bra-top and tight pants
Death : Survives
Beryl was from Jamaica and worked as a model after leaving university in London. After a few bit parts like this this one, she made her name in Italian cinema and worked there until retirement in the early eighties. She published a book of Jamaican aphrodisiac recipes in 1981. She is now 70.
Valli Newby ( as Nightclub pickup )
Sex : She strips down to a bra and panties expecting sex with Stacey
Death : Survives
Valli was a former dancer on The Ken Dodd Show who picked up a few minor roles in the early sixties after which she disappears.
