Joan Collins has been a sex symbol for so long, we think they found provocative sketches of her on cave walls. Here she is in early sex kitten mode from the 1958 Paul Newman comedy Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys.

Elvis in beefcake mode for the 1962 version of Kid Galahad (the film was made previously in 1937 starring Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart)

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: TUESDAY WELD

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 18:02:00 -0400

If it's Tuesday, it must be Weld. Here's the young starlet in one of those glorious cheesecake poses you just don't see any more. Tuesday made her film debut in the 1956 B movie Rock, Rock Rock and a decade later scored an Oscar nomination for Looking For Mr. Goodbar. She has been in self-imposed retirement since 2001.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: ROBYN HILTON IN "BLAZING SADDLES"

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 05:10:00 -0400

Robyn Hilton was a 33 year-old nude model when Mel Brooks cast her as his secretary in the 1974 classic "Blazing Saddles". Hilton hoped her spectacular figure and the pedigree of being in a Brooks film would jump-start her career, but it never happened. She gravitated into the porn industry before retiring in 1977 and dropping out of sight. There was some consolation, however. In 1974, she was voted the prestigious "Hottest Body Ever" award from Boobtacular Digest! (We have a complete run of the magazine on a shelf next to The New England Journal of Medicine). Wherever you are, Robyn, thanks for the mammaries!

Although movie fans continue to believe the mistaken myth that Lee Van Cleef played "The Ugly" in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", in reality that part was immortalized by Eli Wallach. Van Cleef actually played "The Bad" - a character nicknamed Angel Eyes. Prior to Sergio Leone's masterpiece, he had been inevitably cast as villains. In the wake of the film's success, however, he was generall cast as the heroic leading man. Here, the New Jersey-born western icon does a half-Monty in the spaghetti western "Death Rides a Horse", one of many Leone-inspired horse operas made in the 1960s and 1970s.

RETRO-ACTIVE: THE BEST FROM CINEMA RETRO'S ARCHIVES

There HAD to be a couple of redeeming values to Valley of the Dolls aside from the unintended laughs. Here Barbara Parkins proves that's the case in this provocative (for 1967) publicity photo for the film.

He was born Burton Stephen Lancaster but we just knew him as Burt. Seen here in The Crimson Pirate, we get a stark illustration of how dreary the leading man shortage has become in Hollywood. Can you image ANYONE looking like this in a contemporary film? (Well, okay, maybe Adam Sandler...)

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK-STEVE MCQUEEN

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:06:00 -0500

Steve McQueen in the mid-1960s at the peak of his career. The iconic star had only been nominated for an Oscar once, for The Sand Pebbles.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: PAMELA TIFFIN

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:46:00 -0400

Lovely Pamela Tiffin heated up numerous films when she sprang to stardom in the 1960s with appearances in One, Two, Three, The Lively Set, For Those Who Think Young, The Hallelujah Trail and Harper (UK title: The Moving Target).

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: SAL MINEO

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 06:33:00 -0400

We used to pride ourselves in being equal opportunity exploiters of sexy photos, providing ample material to salivate over for men and women, straight and gay. Lately, we've fall off the wagon by neglecting the male of the species and concentrating on some of our better-endowed actresses. Thus, in addition to the mea culpa, we'll also provide this glamour shot of Sal Mineo in the 1950s. Before you ask, we don't know if anyone was in there with him when he dropped the soap.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: JACQUELINE BISSET IN "THE DEEP"

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:53:00 -0400

It's hard to believe it was thirty-two years ago that Jacqueline Bisset caused a sensation with her appearance in the opening sequence of The Deep. All Jackie had to do was don a regular white T shirt, jump into the surf and let nature take its course. By the way, isn't it time for Sony to finally create a deluxe DVD of this terrific film, which co-starred Robert Shaw, Nick Nolte, Eli Wallach and Louis Gosset Jr.?

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: MICHELE CAREY

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:13:00 -0500

We've always been enamored of Michele Carey, even though her career as a supporting actress never launched her to stardom. Michele appeared in such TV classics as The Wild, Wild West and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. as well as a number of big screen features including the immortal How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, The Sweet Ride and co-starring with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum in Howard Hawks' El Dorado. The good folks at Starlet Showcase provide some other great photos of sexy Michele. Click here to view.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: SOPHIA LOREN

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:25:00 -0500

Mamma Mia! More proof they don't make actresses like they used to: an early glamour pose of Sophia Loren as a rising star.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: PAUL NEWMAN AND JOANNE WOODWARD

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:51:00 -0500

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, circa early 1960s. In an industry in which most marriage licenses come with expiration dates, theirs was the exception - having lasted more than half-a-century. The Newmans' real life love store eclipsed any fictional romances they appeared in.

GRATUITOUSLY SEXY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: ROBERT WAGNER

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 07:17:00 -0400

Hunky Robert Wagner in the 1960 film All the Fine Young Cannibals (hey, remember that short-lived rock band from the 1980s that took their name from this title?). Lovely Susan Kohner tries to keep her mind on business.

MAMMA MIA! PIERCE BROSNAN AND WIFE CAUGHT CANOODLING ON THE BEACH!

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:21:00 -0400

Say this for Pierce Brosnan - he's unique. When most male sex symbols get caught embracing a woman on a beach, it generally isn't their own wife. But in Brosnan's case, he was photographed canoodling his beloved wife Keely on a Hawaiian beach, thus making him the only star in memory who didn't have to come up with a story to explain the photos. Too bad Sen. John Edwards didn't hire Brosnan as an advisor! For more photos click here
