My Take
John Richardson is one of those handsome leading men whose face is permanently fused to a specific golden era of cinema. He anchored Italian genre films, stood opposite Barbara Steele in Bava's Black Sunday, and became the romantic lead for both Ursula Andress in She and Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. To me there's something delightful about an English gentleman from Worthing thriving in the lurid, sun-soaked world of Mediterranean adventure and horror. He passed in 2021, but his clean-cut presence is fixed forever on film, and I find that worth quietly honoring.
