Gianna Maria Canale in GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES (1961)
When Gianna retired from acting, she claimed her career didn't go exactly in the direction she wanted. I wonder if starring in movies like this one is what she meant by that. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie and her performance but these movies were considered back then as a B movie and she probably thought she'd had a career like Sophia Loren instead. It's a shame though. She was great! It's sad she never did an interview after retiring. But she basically retired almost on time: by the mid-1960s, PEPLUM movies were out.
