CAROLE GRAY & BARBARA SHELLEY ON 'THE SAINT' W/ ROGER MOORE

Carole Gray in THE SAINT: THE COVETOUS HEADSMAN Year: 1962 Grade: C+

Before playing a vampire's killer moll in the Satan's coven investigatory horror DEVILS OF DARKNESS, and a leading character's rich and resilient girlfriend in the science-fiction creature-feature ISLAND OF TERROR, Carole Gray was the bad of two gorgeous women in Roger Moore's British series THE SAINT...

Her character not only danced in DARKNESS (having been a professional dancer way back in THE PRINCESS AND THE SHOWGIRL), but she channeled Valerie Gaunt's lead vamp-girl from Hammer's DRACULA...

Ironically, the good girl here's played by Hammer (and overall horror and crime ingenue) Barbara Shelley, who Moore's Simon Templar helps figure out who killed her long-lost brother...

And with a crooked and sneaky, lounge-singing girlfriend like Carole Gray, and woodwork-goons around every corner... along with stolen antiques connected to the Nazis... it's all a tad complicated: but Season 2's THE COVETOUS HEADSMAN makes for terrific viewing for those lovely scream-queens alone.
