Sophia Loren in vintage scuba gear… again! – Scenes 1 and 2

I know about this one for a long time and was rather surprised I haven’t posted about it.

Maybe I made a post about it ages ago and the video I had then was blocked or so… not sure.

Time that the scuba scenes of this movie get on this blog as well!

We have the gorgeous Italian actress Sophia Loren in it and she was only around 23 back then as the movie was filmed.

Here is the video:

If you are a regular visitor to this blog you should know what my biggest issue here is….

Yeah, not a big fan of the aspect that she is diving in her normal street clothes, pretty much the unsexiest cloth someone might wear for diving.

On the other hand, it’s a young Sophia Loren and she looks gorgeous in anything.

In my version, she would have worn a vintage scuba suit from that era.

I also really love that she is using a double hose regulator, looks great!

Of course, I would have loved an action/peril scene here, perhaps the combination of some sharp rocks with her vulnerable intake air hose πŸ˜‰

However two good scuba scenes with Sophia Loren in interesting gear.

There is one more scuba scene from this movie which will be posted as well in the next weeks.

*EDIT* Extra info:

As a nice guy mentioned, the woman in the underwater scenes is “Scilla Gabel” who was here as the stunt/dive double for Sophia Loren.

 

P.S.:

*EDIT*

Scene 3 can now be found here as well:

Some great wetsuit scenes from an insane movie

This movie was recommended to me ages ago and I always refused to post about it.

Then it was recommended to me again just a week ago and I changed my mind.

Thanks again for the reco./reminder!

Still, this is a totally insane movie where the producers must have been on drugs all the time…. BUT… here and there it has some interesting snippets πŸ™‚

So, you don’t have to skip through the craziness and can enjoy the good parts….

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

Ok, I don’t know what is really happening in this movie and I don’t care, it’s just an insane “comedy” written by someone in an asylum (my guess).

For most of the movie a guy is flying around …without any flying gear… so…. I don’t care about the “story”.

I don’t know how she is suddenly in the net as she was next to that canoe some seconds ago!?!

I don’t even know why she even is in the water…. and I don’t wanna know πŸ˜†

For a second I hoped she was there to drown him… but well, it’s a “comedy”, so that won’t happen.

Also interesting how his shirt changes from red to blue stripes πŸ˜†

But, I really love her sexy vintage rubber wetsuit! And that makes it worth making a video out of these scenes πŸ˜‰

Yeah, I would prefer it in black, but it looks great in blue as well. Not often you do see such wetsuits in color in a movie… so, I am thankful for those short snippets.

These soft helmets the parachuters are wearing remind me of good old Angelo πŸ˜‰

If you wanna know the title of the movie (for whatever reason):

IMDB-link

I wonder how this movie got a rating of 4,7 on IMDB… guess the better half of the 130 votes came from the crew πŸ˜†

The full movie is currently available on Youtube…. but PLEASE don’t watch it! πŸ˜†

A vintage frogwoman from Mexiko scuba diving in a bikini

I know about this one for quite a while and a friendly blog visitor reminded me of it by recommending it to me.

We have a long scuba scene with a hot actress in a bikini diving around with a guy.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

I made one edit and cut out 3 minutes of them diving around while the camera is mostly on some fish.

I didn’t think Youtube would be ok with even this 7-minute-long video… but no problems (so far).

As you may know, I rather prefer women in wetsuits than in bikinis, and nothing much is going on here in terms of action/peril.

Despite some very odd animal fighting πŸ˜† . But back in the day, many sea creatures were made much more dangerous in the movies than they are in real life πŸ˜‰

Sometimes due to the lack of better knowledge, sometimes to make things more exciting for the audience.

Have I fooled you with picture 4?

Well, sadly it only looks like she might attack him in it…. πŸ˜‰

The actress certainly looks great in bikini in and out of the water. Funny/creepy how blatantly the old geezer is staring at her in the boat.

Weird how he seemingly speaks but we don’t hear him…. πŸ˜†

All in all the scene isn’t really thrilling for me, but I know some love to see female divers in bikinis so here you go.

Also, I am a little low on material right now, so it was a good time to post this one.

Wanna know the title of the movie?

What do you think of that scene?

P.S.:

At least for now, you can easily find the whole movie on Youtube…

A vintage frogwoman in the jungle

Thanks to a nice recommendation I can present some vintage frogwoman scenes to you today!

In this one, a guy and a woman want to go on a dive to retrieve something.

And since the movie is from 1968 we gonna get some nice vintage gear πŸ˜‰

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

Here is the video:

My biggest issue is that the camera is basically completely on the guy underwater. Hard to see that it is even her in these underwater scenes.

Could also be a male stunt diver from what little we can see.

A little action scene would have been nice while they are underwater.

Also, his suit is way cooler than hers. I wish she would have worn such a suit as he has.

But enough complaining, we get a stunning woman in vintage scuba gear in quite a long scene, so I do like that scene!

Guess they have shot that in a studio, running around in these wetsuits in a jungle…. that would be quite a torture.

Wanna know from what movie this is?

A frogwoman in a black vintage style Elios wetsuit and Technisub FFM – [Post 2][Reco]

1st post for today, one more will follow!

4 months ago I made a post about her stunning pictures on Instagram:

https://frogwoman.org/a-frgowoman-in-a-black-vintage-style-elios-wetsuit-and-technisub-ffm-reco

Time to do another one because she makes excellent images with such awesome scuba gear πŸ™‚

Some of the new photos:

(click on the picture to enlarge it to full size)

I imagine walking around a lake and seeing a frogwoman in that gear.

Certainly, a walk to remember!

Make sure you follow her on Insta for more pictures:

Frogwoman Lucy in β€œVintage dive” [14th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

So, it’s time for the third video of the 2nd video shoot of β€œProject F”!

This time one day early as I am away tomorrow.

As I mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

 

Frogwoman Lucy in β€œVintage Dive”, 1080p, 60 frames, 2:34 minutes

 

Some preview pictures:

(click to enlarge)

 

+ a short teaser:

–

Background info:

On the first video shoot, Frogwoman Alice dove with the Royal Mistral connected with double hoses to a vintage Techniscub FFM (video 1).

Frogwoman Uma tested the Royal Mistral double hose regulator in another video (video 9).

This time I added a vintage-style scuba mask to the scuba gear so Frogwoman Lucy would fully be in a vintage gear that looks like it could have been from the 60s.

So I created a short video with her in that gear incl. some surface shoots of her getting ready for the dive!

For me, it can’t get much better in terms of scuba gear than this combo.

And she will be in this gear in another video with action! (my favorite one from that video shoot)

In the future, I wanna include longer “getting into the scuba gear” scenes at the beginning of some videos.

Spoiler title
As you can see the mask is pretty “flat” with little room for the nose. During the shoot, I didn’t notice that the tip of her nose was pressed against the glass of the mask. That happens if you stare at the tiny screen of the camera all the time (she didn’t notice it either). Certainly, I should have checked that more carefully, but it only fully showed underwater.

Well, I learned another lesson.

Another frogwoman will wear this mask at the next shooting.

But ok, only a small issue, as this is a short video and she is only facing the camera for some short scenes.

 

 

Fun facts:

Frogwoman Lucy also had no problem to also dive with this vintage double hose regulator from the 60s.

I guess you won’t find many young women like her who have diving experience with such old vintage gear. Especially since she doesn’t have a scuba certificate.

 

–

Editing:

I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).

As I mentioned before the audio here was challenging with a sound the camera picked up from the pool machinery.

I tried a lot with the audio since that sound is here more annoying than in the other videos that have more action and noise.

I edited the audio track of the underwater part to reduce the noise and stimulatingly not affect the wanted audio.

And the result is quite good I would say.

 

Where to watch it?

It will be available again in the VIP club in August!

Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:

https://frogwoman.org/frogwoman-vip-club-2-0-march-2024

or

…get the video any time you want:

https://frogwoman.org/project-f-videos/project-f-video-packages

 

You can download these videos in the VIP club, but only for your personal use.

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money:

All that scuba gear, location rent, and the money for the frogwomen….

If I don’t make enough money with these videos….. I won’t be able to make new videos at some point.

So…. I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future!

A frogwoman in a black vintage style Elios wetsuit and Technisub FFM – [Reco]

Just a quick post for today as I don’t have enough time.

Many of you will know this Instagram account by now, but for those who don’t, check out her Instagram account …and also her Youtube channel (linked on her Insta):

https://www.instagram.com/aryasdiveart/

A preview:

(click to enlarge)

Well, I mentioned several times how much I love that Technisub FFM and that Elios suit is a great addition!

The same type of Elios suit was used on the first video I published for “my Project F” last year.

This mask is similar but don’t have the side mounting like mine has, here the regulator gets connected in the center piece of the mask.

All in all a really great assembly of scuba gear!

She would certainly be a great frogwoman for the SPECTRE scuba team πŸ™‚

What do you think of this gear and her pictures?

The evil frogwoman strikes yet again…. in a DIFFERENT TV show! [2 scenes]

Hah, slightly confused by that title? πŸ˜‰

This is a very interesting case and I’m sure you will find it very interesting!

This time without preview pictures as the post contains 4 videos (2 of them new to this blog).

THANKS a lot to the guy who mentioned that episode of this show. I am quite surprised I didn’t hear about it earlier.

 

Remember this epic scene?

This was my post from 2013:

https://frogwoman.org/the-frogwoman-strikes-again

Now check out this scene, which can be found in another TV show made 4 years later:

Hmh, somehow it looks quite similar….even there are no underwater shots in this one and she makes it to the ladder before she gets drowned.

The attacker is basically not shown here except for the hand in rubber that grabs onto her ankle.

It’s rather odd that the evil frogwoman is able to pull her down with ONE arm while she has to fight her own buoyancy.

I mean the other woman has a solid stand on the ladder and is holding onto it with both arms.

Guess the evil frogwoman has exercised a lot πŸ˜‰

 

But this was only the beginning….. πŸ˜‰

Remember the ultimate highlight of that TV episode with the evil frogwoman?

My original post from back then:

https://frogwoman.org/female-divers-attacks-man-pulling-lake-quality-upgrade-longer-cut

Now check out this scene, which can also be found in that TV show made 4 years later:

Well…. quite odd! They re-used the complete underwater footage here!!!

The scenario is exactly the same. The detective (Ben Gazzara!) wants to meet with a woman only to be attacked by a mysterious frogwoman in rubber!

But there are some differences (despite the different actors):

Here we actually see some very short scenes of the evil frogwoman above the water.

In the original, they fight underwater and suddenly….cut….and he is in a hospital. One of the worst cuts in the history of humankind! ARGHHHHH!

In this “remake” we see him pulling the obviously defeated frogwoman to the shore, with her mouthpiece in his hand!

But then…. I start yelling at the screen! AGAIN, they don’t show the villainess anymore except for some seconds where she is already covered in a blanket.

How bizarre is that? Why have they shown only so little of her??? I would have loved to see the defeated frogwoman in her wet rubber suit on the surface! Just add a dialogue there and show her!

The murderer is finally caught and she just vanishes without saying a word!

DAMN! Really frustrates me big time! That and that the moment of him overpowering her underwater isn’t shown properly.

However the flaws, that ending… in both versions…. in one of my all-time favorites!

It’s such a unique scenario. An evil frogwoman in rubber who wants to drown a guy in this scene ….and already did drown a woman earlier in the episode!

How often do you get that in a TV show or movie? Spoiler-Alert….Basically NEVER! πŸ˜‰

Ok, it’s hard to say if the diver who actually did the diving during filming is actually a woman….since the underwater picture is rather dark… or if they used a male diver to double for the villainess.

However it is supposed to be a woman, that is 100% clear.

So, why the same scenario and the same underwater footage?

These episodes are from different TV shows but are basically identical as the script is nearly a copy (some slight changes).

With some quick research, I found out that both TV shows were made by the same company (Roncom Films) for the same network (NBC).

The earlier show is from 1964 and the “remake” is from 1968.

So they “just” re-used footage that they shoot some years earlier.

Quite bizarre that they just remade an entire episode just some years later in a different TV show.

Don’t know why they did it, perhaps they were just lazy and recycled the script πŸ˜†

In the original, the villainess is the secretary of the guy who was in love with the drowned woman from the beginning of the episode.

Here is a picture of the villainous redhead from the original (Fiona Volpe vibes):

Really a shame she wasn’t shown on the surface in her rubbery frogwoman suit. πŸ™

In the remake, she is his personal physical therapist (and less attractive)…but that is already one of the biggest changes from the original to the remake.

I guess you might wanna know now from which TV show that remake is?

(IMDB says episode 22, my file says 23… look for the title of the episode)

So, what do you think of these scenes?

Do you prefer the original or the remake?

An Italian vintage frogwoman with an early rebreather

I know this scene for a long time already.

But I only had a pretty bad copy (worse than DVD) that was black and white.

Now this movie was restored to MUCH better quality as it now has Blu-ray quality… and also got colorized!

Quite a gigantic quality upgrade. πŸ™‚

So, I wanna present the most interesting scene from this movie today.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

Ok, I don’t speak Italian but have seen subtitles for this scene….so let me give you some backstory to this scene.

She asks the guy if she could try on the FFM (does someone know the type/model?).

As he leaves he asks to take it off again…he is in a hurry as he says.

Well, as you can see she ignores that and goes diving.

He later mention to another guy that the system he gave to her was nearly empty as he was diving with it prior to giving it to her.

In the end, her father is really angry about her being that reckless while only one of the guys takes her side and defends her.

I guess this may be one of the earliest female scuba peril scenes in existence as this movie was made in 1953!

The scenario is rather cliche and classic as she is very reckless and also gets trapped in that net.

Sadly it is not shown how she gets entangled in the net in the first place.

But I really love the scuba gear! A FFM with a single corrugated air hose… very sexy! Would love to see a scuba fight with a frogwoman equipped like that πŸ™‚

Also interesting that there is a valve on that mask to switch from snorkel to rebreather (as the guy explains to her).

Really happy that this scene can now be watched in such a picture quality πŸ™‚

And that frogwoman is no other than Sophia Loren!

Quite a sight… πŸ™‚
