Above- Hugh’s nephew (played by Steve Carlson) seems to be at a loss for words -more evident he has more than likely discovered, the hard way just how deadlier the female can be.

Deadlier Than the Male (1967) the film-

Like the title implies the female species is deadlier than the male. Especially in this case as Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond investigates several insurance claims that involve some possibly suspicious deaths along the way. You see there just happens to be two beautiful ladies who happen to be at those locations just prior to each incident.

Above- Drummond (Richard Johnson) giving one of Peterson’s henchmen the old glass bottle over the head treatment.

Now in our case we are the onlookers-the audience. And yes, Elke Sommer (A Shot in the Dark) and Sylvia Koscina (Hercules and Agent 8 3/4) are armed with spearguns, explosives plus cigars that fire bullets. Thats in the first 10 minutes of the film.
