WOmWAm Career Perspective If there was a poll among men born before 1965 and they had to name the Ideal German Blonde, it's a safe guess "Elke Sommer"  would jump out a lot of  mouths... She set a standard of Feminine Nordic Beauty that left many men gasping for air... In addition to her astounding physique, she also parlayed quite a few roles steeped in Female Dominance, and perhaps the all-time Power Femme Role, Irma Eckman, in Deadlier Than The Male... When cold-as-ice mean, she 's hot, and when roles call for a soft comeliness, she's invitingly warm...  With a delicious voice, soft lips, voluptuous bod and a commanding presence, she proves to be one of the Premier 60s Chicks, All-Time Pop Icons and a WOmWAm Goddess...

Love, The Italian Way Any way with Elke is OK... Why Bother To Knock Does the Nordic bimbo routine to the hilt... (Yah, und diz iz my brezts, und yah, diz iz my booticks... Iz diz sumting you like, yah?) Daniella By Night We'll take Daniella in the broad daylight...

Sweet Ecstasy Doing a B-Bardot imitation as a wild vixen with a wilder hair-do...

Seduction by the Sea Elke could seduce you anywhere from a frozen tundra to your bathtub... The Victors As the American Boys march through Europe to defeat the Nazi scourge, they meet an array of sexy EuroBeauties (Yes, WWII was fought for the opportunity to watch Elke Sommer, Senta Berger, Romy Schneider, Rosanna SchiaffIno, et al in late night movies...)

The Prize  As lovely as she can be...

A Shot in the Dark

Le Bambole  ("Il Trattato di Eugenetical")    Italian 1960s multi-story films are ideal viewings: Stories are short and the increased number of segments provide multiple EuroBeauties... (Nothing worse than a bad movie exploiting  just one actress and running over 90 minutes...)

The Money Trap

The Art of Love This is a movie about artists, and Elke went on to become an accomplished one herself... Here, though, she is the object d'love...

Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! If it were not for Elke, this would be the wrong movie to get...

The Oscar  She should have been giving an Oscar for having to take Tony Bennett seriously as "Hymie Kelly..." Deadlier Than The Male The role that forever enshrines her as a WOmWAm Goddess and her career peak... The Venetian Affair It would have been better if she had just guest-starred on The Man From U.N.C.L.E....

The Corrupt Ones

The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz Running the Hogan's Heroes crowd around in circles...  The Invincible Six They Came to Rob Las Vegas The nerve of them!

The Wrecking Crew   In some respects a companion-role to Deadlier Than the Male, in that she's a SpyFemme who works for a master criminal played by Nigel Green ("My plans are on shhked-jual...")

Here's Elke with Senta Berger, circa 1961, plotting how they will drive men out of their minds with their Seductive Beauty for the rest of the decade... (yes, WOmWAm does subscribe to conspiracy theories...)
