I don’t know exactly what it was that I was looking for when I stumbled across IanHendry.com, a website for the British character actor who died too young in 1984, but in the site’s gallery I was knocked for six by this poster. I had no idea what the film was (George Segal, Orson Welles and Ursula Andress together at last?) and had never heard of the director Sidney Hayers, but a quick IMDb check revealed the film to be the 1969 British film The Southern Star, a “comedy adventure based on a Jules Verne novel about the ups and downs of jewel thieves in the wilds of Africa circa 1900,” and a film with a very different English-language poster as you can see here here. A search on the title on the Polish poster database CinemaPoster.com, revealed the designer to be one Andrzej Bertrandt, born 1938.

I remember her fondly as the villainess Lucretia in the outrageous Toho Sci-fi adventure Latitude Zero but Patricia Medina was an actress with a solid career and an impressive number of memorable credits who worked with Orson Welles (Mr. Arkadin) , Vincent Price (twice – Moss Rose and The Three Musketeers), Abbott and Costello (A&C In The Foreign Legion), Francis the Talking Mule (Francis), and the Three Stooges (Snow White And The Three Stooges). Voluptuous and exotic-looking with a deep sultry voice, the British-born Medina began her film career in 1937 and was married to actors Richard Greene and Joseph Cotton. Patricia Medina was 92
