The frogwoman, a kangaroo and sharks!

by

Time to make a 2nd post with scenes from a 60s TV show with an animal as the lead “actor”.

Now, not that one with the dolphin, the one with the kangaroo.

In this one world-famous diver, Valerie Taylor can be seen in one out of only 3 acting roles (movie/TV shows).

And here is the video:

Initially, I wanted to cut down the video as it is now half the length of the full episode.

But well, I wanted to include all her wetsuit scenes so I decided to choose the first long cut as the video. And Youtube seemingly doesn’t mind in this case.

Certainly some nice and interesting scenes with Valerie Taylor in a wetsuit for half an episode. 🙂

Well, I would have preferred a black rubber wetsuit, but no luck.

From today’s point of view, it is certainly quite ironic that Valerie Taylor who made many documentaries about sharks and was very unhappy in her involvement in the making of “Jaws” swims away in fear from a harmless shark….but well, times were different and most people were very afraid of any shark.

The peril element here is a nice addition if that means she is unconscious for the rest of the episode…which is quite odd. I mean why didn’t they show her awake at the end?

The young boy then saved her from drowning and then had some close scenes with Valerie Taylor in her tight, wet wetsuit on that boat…. I wouldn’t mind swapping with him 😉

Most likely he was too young back then to “appreciate” it.

Wanna know from which episode this is?

IMDB says it was episode 18 of that season, other sources say it’s 19, but the title is certainly correct.

What do you think of that episode?

In pursuit of a frogwoman!

by

Well, this little gem has quite a lot to offer! Not only that the filmmakers stole a LOT of music from the Bond movies 😀  (unbelievably that that worked out)…. it has a frogwoman that gets chased on land and underwater! Can she escape the bad guys?

And here is the video:

Well….that was…odd! We have incompetent henchmen in the plane (who can’t hit her) and more incompetent henchmen underwater, who can’t hit her with spearguns …or catch up with her.

But if they are not able to kill her….she nearly does it herself 😆

But creative….to escape a plan she packs out her scuba gear. And what happens to the frogmen who are not in the sub? Really odd.

However the chase is pretty cool, something you don’t get to see that often. And the footage where she is unconscious underwater due to the explosion….great scuba peril!

Nobody besides me will see the mail address you will provide, and it can be “made up”.

With a real one you get noticed about other comments….but you can check that manually.
