How Men Pee With Underwear

Karlowa Elma, dainty brunette of the former Yugoslavia



Pimpante and pulpy, the brunette Croatian artist Elma Karlowa played a lot in the 50s in musical comedies often most often completely irrelevant who composed a large segment of German cinema of the Adenauer era. Colorful pageantry often treated with the utmost contempt by critics and magazine shows like TVSpielfilm which supply a thumbs down in their reruns on German and Austrian channels.
Despite the ups and downs (or gulfs) composing his career, the hot actress with laughing eyes was driven over the years endearing actress and professional composition found always a pleasure to screen.

born in 1932 in Zagreb, Croatia (then Yugoslavia), Selma Karlovak has been really lucky in his screen debut. The film was then Yugoslav almost nonexistent: it was almost always epic war movies and a little childish to glory supporters. Ciganka Gypsy (1953), directed by Vojislav Nanonic very inspired by American cinema, had the advantage out of this mold, by telling, with talent, the misadventures of a gypsy who can not marry the man she loves Because of the conventions and traditions. In the lead role, the luminous Selma is very noticeable. She then hired a musical Germano Serbian "Dalmatian wedding, bluette folk with no interest, directed by one of the most prolific directors of the 3rd Reich. Advised by his partner Heinz Drache, very pretty brunette lovers, Selma decided to try his luck in Germany, where supply is significantly greater than in his country, even if the quality is not always the rendezvous. Renamed
, Elma Karlowa she first played guitar in Love (1954), a romantic musical film featuring the orchestra marshmallow ultra popular Montovani (which had risen an unexpected success with Charmaine, an air years 20) and the Swiss singer Vico Torriani, which is never marred his smug smile. The plot does not shine by its originality and focuses on the tribulations of a mechanic who tries to become a singer in Italy. The runaway success of the orchestra Montovani worth to be exploited until syrup in the U.S. with subtitles. While critics applaud the music he remained skeptical about the game of Miss Karlowa. However, the public has indeed passed. Elma
Tautou movies to a very rapid pace.
It is found in Cabaret, one of the few good movies Willi Forst (unrelated to the masterpiece of Bob Fosse) and the cheerful vagrant, operetta painful kitsch built around the glorious tenor Rudolf Schock, and the remake of the poor student, first German film in scope (she plays a countess). Without holding the charm of the original version, this operetta rather picaresque is far from unpleasant. In all cases, it is more digestible than the Tegernsee with Love or romance in Salzkammergut and other Heimatfilm mixing folk, country landscapes and local songs. These pale postcards have also never been used in France or only in Alsace. Preferably necked dress or swimsuit, Elma them to be pretty satisfied. Good living and
role, Elma did not generate melancholy during filming and his difficulties with the German language provoked hilarity colleagues. However, it did not necessarily show much discretion in the choice of his films.
If the King of the Czardas is a nice bio pic about the life of Kalman's operetta of a genius (especially used by the fantastic voice of Rudolf Schock), we will fast on the student Helen Willfuer, melodrama in white coats adapted by Vicki Baum. Rivals
ride (1956), a drama taking place in media circus will operate in the USA. Fearing that maybe the American public is confused by a distribution between Germany and Yugoslavia, the main actors on the poster will be renamed: Elma Karlowa will be renamed to Eleanor Marlowe opportunity! In 1958
, Elma Karlowa is part of the distribution of Green Devils of Monte Cassino, uneven film recounting one of the most terrible battles of the Second World War (many of them North African infantrymen lost their lives). After this long series of German films, Elma is back in Yugoslavia, by agreeing to participate (as Selma Karlovak) for production in color and big budget, the triumph of the Red Devils Zika Mitrovic, a Yugoslav film the best known, which will operate worldwide. A drama about the relative resistance with much energy the exploits of Captain Lesi face German occupying Bosnia finally gives the opportunity to fine Elma (Selma) to express his passion and sensuality. What a pity that the artist did not pursue this path. His career continued in Germany in countless schlagerfilms, comedies aimed at promoting the songs of the beaches with the backdrop of Italy or Croatia, and pretty girls in bikinis. Elma
merely pretending to participate in the story linking songs interpreted by Rex Gildo, Freddy Quinn or Vivi Bach. Nothing too exciting except for fans of sixties varieties. The decline of c
inema People German, comedy and folk music will be very detrimental to the actress whose waist tends to thicken. The actress who was known for his good humor and his spirit sank into depression and attempts suicide. Without
proposals film, she tries to make ends meet by working in a bar. She even agreed to appear in soft porn movies whose titles speak for themselves (not suck your thumb, let the butt end, sex makes you happy) fairly reflect the meltdown of the actress ... and a German film. It should be noted however, that it is not in any sexy scene (from Anyway, his overweight would not have helped!). Described by the magazine Cinema choukrouten-spaghetti-porn, ass to Leave at least the value of treating his subject with great irony and derision. Remake of "hot" of Ninotchka Ernst Lubitsc h (the original title being Ninotchka Even removes her panties), repeated in his time on the five, this bawdy farce does not lace, but reveals a touch of humor.
In the 70 and 80, the actress was still able to showcase their talent in productions including the much more ambitious Fear Eats, One of the most moving films of Fassbinder, the great Billy Wilder's Fedora or the desire and corruption with Omar Sharif, although its roles of housekeeper and a masseuse are very small.
It is also very active in the German television soap operas, very known in Germany as Tat ort or kir royal. The former luscious brunette with dark eyes, naughty smile and accent had been replaced with a small plump woman very comfortable to interpret the characters of everyday life.
Karlowa Elma died in Munich in 1994.

How Far Couch From Coffee Table

Hind Rostom, the queen of seduction in the Arab world







fleshy lips and eyes of fire, Hind Rostom , one of the biggest stars of the age Gold Egyptian cinema, had a nearly erotic animal magnetism of a rare intensity. Often compared to Marilyn Monroe, who triumphed at the same time on American screens, the Egyptian star had yet a different personality film, and much more poisonous fragile as the American star and a sensuality more "rough around the edges" rather closer to the stars like Sophia Loren Italian. If movie fans around the world remember her glowing presence in Central Station, the masterpiece of Youssef Chahine, the blonde star has appeared in more than 134 films in Egypt. Born in Alexandria

drie in 1931, Hind Rostom lived an unhappy childhood with a police officer dad (Turkish origin) and a very bossy stepmother who beat her. She escapes from her daily admiring the movies or actresses like Shadia Magda not to mention American stars such as Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner. Very young, she left the family and tried his luck with movie studios, where one pays for some benefits under his dancer.
The famous director Hassan Al Imam's remarks at an audition and offered him a role as a woman in the frivolous social drama "Daughters of Joy" in 1955 which will make it famous.
At the same time, she married director Hassan Raza, which she had a daughter. An unhappy marriage (Raza will even question the paternity of their child) it will try to compensate by devoting a whole to his profession as an actress. Hind Rostom
is engaged in the production of the most prestigious the moment: in the musical you are my love by Youssef Chahine (1957), she pays the luxury of eclipsing the famous Farid el Atrash and Shadia in a scene where she dances sensuously into a train subjugating all passengers. While not a true pro in the Oriental dance (even if it participated in its infancy in many dance competitions), the actress has no difficulty convincing with its exuberant sensuality and undulating forms.
It is found in the credits Sleepless Nights (1957), Salah Abu Serf, big budget film and color that seeks to duplicate the flamboyant melodramas of Hollywood, but not likely to overshadow the work of Douglas Sirk. Many improbabilities and lengths are handicapping a film that had yet much originality (a prey to the Oedipus complex, heroin Faten Hamama seduces a man who could be her father). Provision of Hind Rostom, a woman venal, breathing vulgarity is unfortunately may be the worst film. She adds so much to his character of a bitch she is no longer credible.
However, we can only applaud his performance in the magnificent Central Station (1958). In the role of busty selling lemonade, which arouses the desire and passion about her, Hind bursts onto the screen. Far novels pictures filmed swarming on Arab screens, this neo-realist film of great drama deals with a surprising frankness human misery and sexual. It is also remarkably directed by Youssef Chahine. The film will see an international career to an unexpected Egyptian film.
Applauded at the Berlin festival for her performance, the Egyptian star preferred yet prudently refuse offers of German studios, preferring the sky of Egypt to the European gloom.
Should we point out that Central Station was cons by a furnace in Egypt, as denoted by the film office report to the aspirations of Arab viewers who sought above all to escape from everyday reality. There, it's Conflict on the Nile (1959) which earned him a triumph, and yet this film is really inferior in all respects to film Chahine. Hind but it also reveals a sensuality in the role of a real Messalina who alternately seduces two cousins (Omar Sharif and Rushdy Abaza). Like a snake out his wicker basket, she enchants men waving and dancing to seduce them: it will heavily punished for his crimes: during a fight, she died of an ax in his skull! These different roles
shameless seductive worth Hind Rostom the nickname "Queen of seduction," the star has always felt very simplistic. After all did not she also embodied the screen here as well as moms wives models, girls from the countryside revered artists?
According to Hassan Al-Imam, "more than its physical assets was its internal dynamism which charmed a refreshing opulence, his youthful fervor. "
The press has a lot compared to Marilyn (perhaps for his blond and she was wearing skin-tight outfits including sleepless night), while the two stars finally had little in common: Hind has acknowledged having been influenced more by Rita Hayworth and admire above all the qualities of actress Ingrid Bergman. The seduction of Hind Rostom triumphant, its strength (at least on screen) and her nonconformist evoke for me further Ava Gardner. For many
Egyptian viewers, its best role remains that of the Coptic Shafiqa, fictionalized biography of a pioneer of Oriental dance, which opened in the early 20th century, several taverns and became the mistress of a Prime Minister before sinking into drugs .
In the 60s, Hind appeared in melodramas with extreme situations such as the Arab public likes (tomorrow is another day (1961)
a woman on the sidelines of life (1961)), social comedies (the pearl of girls in 1961) or musical (cast out of paradise with Farid el Atrash).
and soon went on the remake of The Blue Angel, the journal of the Night (1971), mediocre melodrama and old-fashioned in every sense including choreography. Even the provision of Hind will not be spared from criticism that the judge very bad.
Promise (1972) by Hassan el Seify recounts the misfortunes of a prisoner is however a very good movie the heavy atmosphere and careful implementation, we are surprised by some camera movements rather bold and not common in Arab cinema of the time. In the role of the model wife, Hind. to 1000 places the tantalizing vamp of the 50s, is excellent.
In 1979, Hind Rostom going away screens to devote himself to his daughter and grandchildren and let the audience remember the actress always beautiful. She went to Paris in 1987 as part of a festival on Arab cinema.
If she has long refused to sell his memoirs to an Egyptian television that wanted to make a series, the actress has recently published an autobiography. It has also long discussed a possible return to television, but the producers could not match his wage demands. Hind Rostom
continues to go to first nights and the arms of her second husband Dr. Fayad.
attentive to the evolution of cinema and song East, she said much appreciate the singer Nancy Ajram artist who is often compared to him ...
