But I was struck again by the immortal Ingrid Pitt, who for a while there was about the best example of female pulchritude in the B-movie world.
Here she is putting the moves on one of a succession of upper class twit-ettes in The Vampire Lovers, and doing her patented Dance of the Obscure Fertility Cult for an incredibly stoic cop in The Wicker Man.
Note: Alert reader "The Blogs etc." correctly points out the fanny in question is Britt Eklund's. I should have known that. I'm leaving the photo anyway, it's too good.

Surely that is Brit Eckland in The Wicker Man - although it is often said a body double was employed?
being such a lucky guy you get to finish it tonight
Ah, yes, correct. I should know that.
It's definitely a body double.. She refused to participate!
Actually it's more complicated. Ekland was filmed doing the dance and is indeed shown in the frontal shots. However she refused to allow the rear shots to be used and without her knowledge a double was employed to repeat them.
Incidentally Ingrid Pitt does appear in the film as the librarian.
