German postcard, no. R 22. Photo: publicity still for Winnetou - 2. Teil/Last of the Renegades (Harald Reinl, 1964). Caption: Auch Ribanna und ihr Mann Leutnant Merrill fallen in die Hände der Bande. Sie werden als Gefangene an einen Felsen gebunden. (Ribanna and her husband Lt. Merrill also fall into the hands of the gang. They are bound as prisoners to a rock.) Redheaded German leading lady Karin Dor (1938) became popular in the 1960s playing heroines in Edgar Wallace and Karl May films. She was Winnetou’s greatest love but also the first German Bond girl. After appearing in more international films, including one by Alfred Hitchcock, she became a respected stage actress in Germany. Blond and blue-eyed Mario Girotti (1939) is better known as Terence Hill. The Italian actor starred in multiple action films and Spaghetti Westerns. In 19 of these films he appeared together with his partner Bud Spencer. Their success made him one of the highest paid European film stars.
