Once upon a time Coleen Gray was in some great films like Red River, Kiss Of Death, and Kansas City Confidential. But sadly like so many actresses the good films and the good parts in them disappeared and she was reduced to starring in The Leech Woman. And you know this is bad because there aren't any leeches in this horror epic.
Coleen was getting older and the zing has gone out of her marriage to Philip Terry who once was married to Joan Crawford in real life. But Terry is a scientist who hears that some hidden African tribe has a queen reputed to be ageless. He resolves to find the secret and use his wife as a guinea pig for the experiment.
I won't go into the details, but Terry finds the secret, but Coleen steals it and flees. I will only say that the male of the species has to die to keep Coleen beautiful and sexy. It's the dream of every cougar out there.
There are some similarities to that other drive-in classic The Attack Of the Fifty Foot Woman. As for Coleen Gray this kind of ended her big screen career, but she transferred to television and kept working for another quarter of a century.
But not in films like thank the Lord.
