GOODBYE, MARGARET LEE

To espionage, exotica, comedy and fear, you became a friend (with several choice encounters with international stars, Klaus Kinski and Christopher Lee, as well as esteemed directors, Jess Franco and Lucio Fulci). 

Your vivifying titles tell it succinctly: Our Agent Tiger; Secret Agent Super Dragon; Our Man in Marrakesh; The Bloody Judge (aka Night of the Blood Monster); Venus in FursCircus of Fear; Coplan Saves His Skin; Double FaceFive From HellI bastardi (aka The Cats); Five Golden Dragons; Slaughter HotelThe Violent FourTwo Sergeants of General CusterThe Twelve-Handed Men of Mars; Casanova 70; Ghosts-Italian Style; Action Man; Agent 077: From the Orient with Fury; Dick Smart 2.007Spy Pit; The Mona Lisa Has Been StolenViva America!; The Secret of Dorian Gray; Cinderella 1969; Bang! Bang! You're Dead; I Kill, You Kill; Killer's CarnivalMacisti Against the Monsters (aka Fire Monsters Against the Son of Hercules); Samson and the Sea Beast (aka Samson Against the Pirates); Cleopatra 1963; Arriva Dorellik (How to Kill 400 Duponts); Rendezvous with DishonorDjurado (aka Johnny Golden Poker); L' Apocalypse; What Did Stalin Do to Women?; OSS 17: Murder for Sale; Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die; The Killers are Our GuestsThree Violent Nights; Web of ViolenceVia Venento; The Rogue; Master Stroke; Bandits in Milan; Cry Chicago; The Double Bed; House of Pleasure; Neapolitan Sting; Two Public EnemiesThe Maniacs; and The Swindlers
