SMYRNER CAMPAIGN

You're going to like my movies or else. Now sit down and shut up.

Ann Smyrner was born in Denmark as Hanne Smyrner and came to wide attention for roles in cheeseball films such as Reptilicus and Journey to the Seventh Planet. The above photo was made when she filmed yet another cheeseball film—the 1967 Italian flop …4 ..3 ..2 ..1 …morte, aka Mission Stardust. These movies call out to us based on their titles alone, so we’ll attempt to locate one or two and report back. They sound epically bad. Smyrner, on the other hand, looks epically good.
