Bombshells: Silvana Pampanini

Before Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida, there was Italian sex symbol Silvana Pampanini.

The plot: I’ve added it to the list for…reasons. The reasons: The film doesn’t appear to be streaming anywhere, darn it. For now … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Cirque de la Isabelle →
