230 Curse of the Fly ( 1965 )


Although  supposedly  set  in  Montreal,  this  third  instalment  in  the  Fly  saga  was  farmed  out  to  Britain  and  features  an  almost  all  British  cast. It  has  continuity  breaks  with  the  previous films  but  features  the  same  family. It's  not  very  scary  but  has  its  moments.

Patricia  Stanley  a  pianist  escapes  from  a  mental  home  after  a  nervous  breakdown. She  is rescued  by  a  handsome  stranger  ( George  Baker )  and  marries  him. But  he  is Martin  Delambre , grandson  of  the  mad  scientist  in  The  Fly  and  the  family  are  still  ruinously  committed  to  their  experiments  in  teleportation.

Carole  Gray  ( as  Patricia Stanley )

Sex : Patricia  escapes  from  the  asylum  in  just  her  bra and  ( over-large ) panties

Death : Survives


Carole  was  a   Rhodesian  actress  who  came  to  prominence  playing  Cliff  Richard's  girlfriend  in  The  Young  Ones . She  retired  at  the  end  of  the  sixties  and  returned  to  South  Africa  with  her  diamond  heir  husband. She  is  now 77.

Mary  Manson  (  as  Judith  Delambre  )

Sex : No

Death :  Killed   in  a  struggle  with the  servant  Tai    perhaps  by  striking  her  head


This  was  one  of  only  three  films  to  feature  Mary  who  was  primarily  a  stage  actress. She  is  now  86.
