Awesome role in the peplum Arrivano i Titani (1962) as Medusa, directly from the Greek mythology, with a live snake squirming in her hair!

To face her we have Giuliano Gemma as Crios, who devises an ingenious system, using a mirror to confuse the Titan...

...when Medusa notices his splane is too late, because Gemma is behind her and hits! Poor Alba!

Wow! The role in Arrivano i Titani is just spectacular! And I had no idea Alba was in so many westerns. Lots of wonderful new discoveries there! :thumbup:

Anyway, here she is in I lunghi capelli della morte (1964) as the wife of a plague victim, who becomes hysterical when her husband's body is taken away

I can understand why Alba deemed herself as a 'generica actress' because she's always acting - no matter how small or insignificant the role - and I think this is one of the reasons she always stands out in a scene. I think she was really terrific!

WOW ! how many beautiful roles for Alba.

And finally i see who she plays in Le braghe del padrone, i never recognized her before in the movie but i have to say my previous copy was cut, so probably i don't found her because her scenes were deleted in my old version.

Could this be Alba in Il morbidone (1965), one of her earlier movies?

It is a little bit difficult to see because she is filmed from ths side.
