Here is a cool still I saw online of Marla Landi as she bound across the grimpen mire in the '59 Hammer House version of "Hound of the Baskervilles"...

it's too bad she didn't make it....

Gorgeous!

Oh yes ! One of the best ( But all too short ) sinking scenes ever, and Marla was certainly a very attractive victim of the mire.

PS : Thanks for sharing, Jim.

MPV need to remake that scene and do it properly! In many ways it was part inspiration for my signature, as part of a much longer story which sadly will probably never get written now...

Love that image. One of the great things about all the Hammer studios movies was the way they filled the screen with atmosphere. Great lighting always got the scenes and sets looking gloomy, lavish, and big budget. Great stuff. A lot of lessons there with this scene, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Frankenstein, etc.

I always wished that sinking scene was like three minutes longer. It's yummy.

Wasn't there an interview where she talks about that scene? I seem to recall one, but cannot find it anywhere.

I saw this on the deep sinking forum - is this way at you recalled?
