Macumba Love (1960)

I remember watching this movie and couldn't help noticing June's cleavage throughout the picture and wondered why the FCC wasn't reported by viewers to the local station showing her over pronounced mounds. Anyway I loved all the sexual scenes in this picture. The swimming scene when June boldly pulls of the top part of her bathing suit and does a back splash under the murky water to cover the nipples.The climax of the movie where June does her breast, I mean BEST acting is when June and Hubby have a private dinner and June gets up and dances with her hips going one way and her boobs going the other.To enhance the enjoyment of this breast display watch this movie with the sound off and watch alone. As for the Voodoo in this movie, Who Cares! I watched this movie several times not knowing or caring what the plot is about but instead wondering where June Lives!!

The Val Lewton movies about voodoo were done much better but then they had a much larger budget than this movie.Not bad considering its obvious lack of a budget.The acting is only passable but the beauty of Ziva Rodann and especially June Wilkinson is what makes this movie watchable.There are some serious questions about voodoo and its applications asked in this movie and that is a kind of refreshing attitude of the subject.June Wilkinson made a couple of other movies like CAREER GIRL and especially PARTY GIRLS FOR THE CANDIDATE costarring Mamie Van Doren and Ted "Caddyshack" Knight of all people!

An interesting memory was jogged at seeing the listing for this film.I saw this at the drive in when I was 8 and, of course, in my jammies.I tried to go to sleep in the back seat but was terrified by the voodoo. 44 years later I still remember that damn movie as the bane of my young drive in experience, lol.My 81 year-old mother still laughs whenever I mention it, although she insists that it was only a "Joe Palooka" doll that was used, and that I actually fell asleep and only woke up at the scary scenes. I seem to recall a different set of facts, but no one else is around to corroborate my story.I wonder...could she be one of the undead, too?

Voodoo movies rarely succeed on plot, (plot in this case being almost inherently silly), but rather on mood and atmosphere. This movie sadly lacks those hard-to-define qualities. It's neither scary nor campy and the garishly-colored print or tape you're likely to see will probably be of poor quality.If you stick around long enough, you will see young, good-looking William Wellman jr staked out bare-chested for a voodoo sacrifice, (similar to Paul Burke's scene in "The Disembodied") but he's rescued too quickly for the scene to be much fun.
