Coming Attractions


Director Roger Vadim’s trippy science fiction adventure Barbarella, based on the French comic book character created by Jean-Claude Forest, debuted in the United States on this date in 1968. (It's official premiere took place in Rome on October 18 that same year.) The film starred Jane Fonda, Milo O’Shea, John Philip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Marcel Marceau, David Hemmings, and Ugo Tognazzi.

Fun fact: the British pop group Duran Duran took its name from one of the movie’s main characters.
