Law and Odor

Or
Kalgan, Take Him Away

Or
An Angel Doesn’t Make Death, an Angel is Death
(Props to Touchdown Tammy)
John Phillip Law, whose wooden acting style managed to overcome his distinctive looks and made him a hero of Italian B movies, has died at the age of 70. Although I’m not sure I trust this report; we’ve been fooled too many times by Diabolik. He was the blind angel Pygar who wouldn’t touch Barberella with his 10-foot wings and Alexei, the Russian submariner romancing Alan Arkin’s daughter in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. He also pulled off the unique feat of starring in two MST3K-ed flicks: as Flight Commander Elijah Kalgan, the ancient dentistry-obsessed lead mutineer in Space Mutiny, and eponymous super criminal Diabolik, who I hope figured out how to extricate himself from the melted gold he found himself encased in.
