Danger: Diabolik

 

Danger: Diabolik was a spy/superhero thriller from 1968 that was directed by Mario Bava, who was a really prolific filmmaker back in the 1960s and 1970s. He was known for making movies back to back, making several films in just one year.

 

 Marisa Mell stars as the hero's girlfriend--which, of course, means that she gets captured by the bad guys.

 

She gets tied to a bed in a rough looking neighborhood.

 

But it's not that rough for Diabolok, who rescues her (even though it looks like she might have been able to pick at the knot and work herself free--but never mind).

 

She's tied barefoot, as well, which makes this a favorite of mine. The only problem with this scene is that it's very short, lasting just seconds.

 

But at least she's free to help her weird boyfriend to fight crime--but they better hurry; Mario Bava has to start shooting his next flick very soon.
