Too Late The Hero
So as the rest of the movie blogs sit down to talk about Michael Caine in the remake of Sleuth, Solace is posting about naked girls. Naked girls, the late, great Denholm Elliott and Michael Caine.
A month or so ago I found an unusual set of promo photos taken presumably on the set of Robert Aldrich’s movie Too Late The Hero. They’d been posted onto a Russian site with no real background info so I have no idea where these were originally published or how they came about. If memory serves they have very little to do with movie…
I’ve put the photos together here, but they feature around 50 breasts so don’t go opening them at work unless it’s your last day or something.
Maybe it was simply an attempt to put some distance between the movie and its grim tagline, WAR, It’s a dying business to something like PHWOAR, Carry on Caine.
It could just be how you marketed everything in 1970, but if anyone has any more background on these I’d love to know what the story was…

So, never having seen it, was there actually copius bosomage in the movie or were these purely promo shots?

(ahem) copious

Ben - It’s years since I saw it, but from what I remember it was all about being chased through the jungle and shouting at each other a lot. I don’t actually remember a single woman in the movie and the IMDB cast listing is an all male affair. I’ll track a copy down and give it another look see.

the film is pretty bleak, but great. These pictures are just fantastic!

How strange. I don’t remember anything like this in the film itself, which is a pretty solid WWII movie. Cliff Robertson, as I recall, is the other lead, and he and Caine pretty much share top honors.

This is quite possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Caine, you motorboatin’ son of a bitch!

I was aboard the USS Coral Sea back the early 70’s when we put Into Subic Bay Naval Station for repairs. I got a chance to be an extra in the movie.
