1963_05-24: The Wrestling Women Against Doctor Doom


 Lorena Velazquez & Elizabeth Campbell as the World's Greatest Female Wrestlers...

Gloria Venus and The Golden Rubi!

"I used to be a fashion model, but now I'm a wrestler..."


"Why don't you come up and see me some time, little man..."

The little man is in awe of the Big WOman...


Gloria Venus comin' at ya!

"And don't you ever come into my bedroom uninvited again!"


The latest in Super Heroine costuming... Drab gray sweatshirts...

Strong-arming a bad guy...

No man can withstand a Gloria Venus right cross!

Things are looking up...

"I have you just where I want you!"

"There's a sock in the jaw for you, fella"!

"Why, I'll knock that hood right off your head!"


No one is more Glorious than Gloria Venus in the ring...


Meanwhile, The Golden Rubi is twisting some information out of a bad guy...


The Wrestling Women are one of the great character inventions of cinema and in the early 60s came out of the blue from the wild imagination of Mexican cinema... In this age of proliferating Femme-Fu Violence, it might be difficult to envision that in the early 60s you just didn't see all that much of Gals bashing guys... This movie offers comic-book style action Super Heroines who may wrestle women in the ring, but prefer to punch out men in a tussle, setting the pace for the outrageous FemmeViolence that would occur through the rest of the 60s...  While Lorena's Curvy Femininity is a bit of a stretch as a tag-team wrassler, she offers a fabulous Girly Toughness, with Campbell spot-on convincing as an Amazonian Warrioress who could slam / pin any male / female to the mat...
