Oliver Reed slurring through Hammer's deadliest divas in 25 deranged minutes.
The wicked women of Hammer included such cult stars and screen legends as Bette Davis, Ingrid Pitt, Joan Fontaine, Martine Beswick, Tallulah Bankhead, Lizabeth Scott and more. This is nothing more than assembled clips from various Hammer productions narrated by Oliver Reed. It aired on Channel 4 in the UK in 1994 before select episodes were released on VHS.
Acting
Reed's gloriously slurred narration, barely holding it together.
Editing
Chaotic clip collisions, zero narrative logic.
Costume
Cleavage, corsets, and cobwebs.
Director
Robert Sidaway
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Reed died just months after recording this, making his slurred send-off to Hammer's heroines unintentionally valedictory.
Channel 4 commissioned five 'World of Hammer' specials in 1994, essentially burning off library footage as nostalgia programming before DVD extras existed.
