The Spanish Connection

When Marisa Mell was mentioned in the yellow press during her high time as an Eurocult actress she was often qualified as an Italian actress living and working in Rome, Italy being part of the Italian jet-set. This was true but she was also part of the broader latino "in"-crowd starting in Spain and going down all the way to almost all the Middle and South-American latin countries. So a lot of her movies from the beginning of her career made for the German-Austrian market untill almost the end of her career had often one way or the other a latino influenced connection from members of the crew like directors, actors, producers... to the financial backers for a movie made in coproduction with an Italian production company. The fact that this was true and still is true can also be derived from the many Marisa Mell fans following this blog each and every day who are located in the latin part of the world. So I found it a good idea to show in this entry some of the latin movie posters for her movies.
