STRIPTEASE SCENE FROM "DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS" (1971)

#9: BLACKFACE IS A RISKY PROPOSITION AT BEST.

From Luciano Ercoli's 1971 giallo thriller "Death Walks on High Heels" (or, La morte cammina con i tacchi alti). In this mostly hilarious scene, actress Nieves Navarro, then working under the name Susan Scott, either tantalizes - or possibly offends - her audience with a glamorous striptease. The tools of her trade: feathers, diamonds, tits, skin bronzer, and an afro wig. Yeah, this lady ain't black. But she is living in 1971. And clearly making the most of what she's got to work with. And then some...

The sexy-breezy song is "Night Club Girl" by Italian cinematic composer Stelvio Cipriani, from the La morte cammina con i tacchi alti soundtrack, available on iTunes and the much cheaper eMusic.com.
