I initially tried to post videos from this show on YouTube, no luck….
–
Watch the videos before you continue!
Yeah, it’s a pretty long video, still only a part of it. The Masked Ball is the scenery for most of the episode… so, you have over 30 minutes of them in masks!
So I tried to concentrate on the highlights here.
The guy in the mask is the detective who chased after his former lover in the Eiffel Tower scene that I featured:
He doesn’t know about her nightly activities and comes very close to finding out about her secret here in several scenes.
I love the tension! She is protected by her mask and gigantic wig, but can’t talk to him, and she is very afraid that he would find out about her, and she clearly shows it 🙂
He gets suspicious, but is still the nice guy who doesn’t just try to rip her mask off.
His female cop partner isn’t nice and would just unmask her… but she gets the wrong masked lady.
Sadly, no one really tries to unmask/unwig the ladies, as they never directly face the bad guys.
But we have an episode where there are 5(!!) female main characters (3 sisters, villainess, detective) in masks for most of the episode (plus masked extras).
I have known about this movie forever, and this scene was at least recommended once.
So far, I refused to make a video about it… but after giving it another thought…. I decided to make a post about it for several reasons.
We have Catwoman with 2 unmasking scenes!

They are scheming!
Someone is flirting with Bruce Wayne!
Yeah, she is a cat…indeed
Oh my!
She is trying to escape the wet Batman!

I have to admit… if I had to rate the Batman 60’s TV show and the ’60s movie on IMDB… I would have a really hard time!
On the one hand, they are very crazy, very campy, entertaining, and very funny (often unintentional) and completely over the top.
On the other hand, they are completely insane and much more for kids than adults. They are basically crazy parodies of Batman.
If you would wanna watch a “normal” Batman-action flick… you (normally) won’t pick the old TV show or the movie.
If I watch the old Batman TV show, then I watch season 3 with Batgirl…. for obvious reasons…. even I’m not a big fan of any of the costumes on the TV show (even though they do have their own charm).
Especially the tiny Catwoman eye mask doesn’t work at all for me.
Also not a fan of the costume (‘s material), even though it is at least…. tight, and her pointy bra makes the most of it 😉
The self-unmasking here is ok, but the unmasking through fall…. is really bad for me.
This is a good example of why a mask should be secured well, so it won’t just come off by some random movement or tiny accident.
What is really good here for me is that Bruce Wayne/Batman knows Miss Kitka (always thought it would be “Miss Kitkat”) and is in love with her.
Batman is really shocked as he sees Catwoman’s exposed face. That should tell her that he is Bruce Wayne as he is staring at her for ages…. but well, not in that reality.
I do love her reaction to the sudden unmasking, well done!
Of course, it would have been much better if her would have unmasked her in a struggle… but it is better than a self-reveal from her.
And it’s certainly a rare unmasking… as it is an “unmasking by accident” which is quite rare to find.
…and now it’s time to continue with 3 more scenes in 2 videos!
And don’t worry… the mysterious masked lady will be UNMASKED 😉

Her guard slowly…
…drops
And then…
…someone is yanking at her mask!

Ok, let’s start with some context:
She was in love with the young guy as they were younger.
They were even about to marry. He was away for 6 months and she became very ill in the meantime.
She got smallpox and barely survived it… but had these massive scars on her face as a result of her illness.
She hid from him and canceled their relationship.
Years later she became a … well… masked prostitute… for the wealthy.
This way she could earn a living while hiding (most of) her face.
Well, I really admire his restraint… I mean she teases him all the time, hiding her face behind that mask.
He doesn’t even try to unmask her, even as they have sex! That is some respect.
But ok, on the other hand….it must be also insanely thrilling… to be in love with that masked woman, desiring her, but not unmasking her… despite that many opportunities.
And it takes A LOT of trust from her side, letting him that close while hiding under that mask.
Ironically she is then weirdly unmasked by that woman that she has known since she was down with the “disfigured” smallpox victims (earlier in the movie).
The unmasking is down quite well, a “NO!” and a great reaction to the unmasking!
Hiding her face between her hands… until she gives in and takes them away revealing her face to the guy.
He is the first of her customers who sees her face.
Later on, the young(er) guy also learns her secret identity… but without an unmasking, resulting in a lame reveal.
But the unmasking that we get … is pretty great, especially after all that screentime with her under the mask.
I wish you some enjoyable and relaxing days for whatever you celebrate next week!

I stumbled upon this one by pure chance.
I saw the movie poster and knew….. this one should be interesting 😉
There are PLENTY of fitting scenes in this movie… basically half the movie.
I decided to make this one a two-parter.
I will post two scenes today and will make another video(s) for next Sunday.
And I will not reveal the movie title today… I will do that next Sunday to build up some anticipation.
You know… “anticipation is half the pleasure” or as we would say here “anticipation is the best pleasure” (translated) 😉

Who is…

I think these scenes are a perfect example of how to build up some tension.
She sits in front of a mirror, and slowly puts her mask on, while the camera never shows her face 🙂
She also puts on the hat with the veil, which is basically a second mask to disguise her further.
Everyone is watching her as the mysterious, masked woman enters the opera.
The men especially get intrigued while the women rather get ….jealous 😉
I love the tension in the dialogue. The two men don’t know who is behind the mask and the guy next to her also speaks about how “cruel” she is by hiding her beautiful face.
Damn, that is a verrry sexy scene for me!
That’s how you make an erotic scene without showing anything at all… in several ways.
I read about this one on the superheroine forum. Thanks to the guy who posted about it there!
We have a masked female vigilante in long-running Canadian kid’s TV shows (from Quebec – so with French Audio).
I have seen rather little… so far, hopefully, there is some more good material in it.

She is in trouble!
A cowl this time!

Ok, that first mask/wig combo is seemingly her standard disguise from what I read and have seen.
She changed into that cowl for some reason in one episode… but that seems to be the only time… as far as I know.
Yeah, my main issue, of course, is that it is a kids’ TV show. So, there won’t be any real action or peril involving our masked heroine.
(even the bearhug scene is quite perilous for a kid’s TV show)
Also, even though I had French in school (briefly) I don’t understand most of the audio as my little knowledge of French has evaporated over the last 20+ years.
She seems to be one of several masked heroes in this one, so… very often… you won’t even see her on screen.
The costume is too colorful for my taste, but it’s pretty solid overall. I mean you don’t find many heroines in such a spandex outfit on TV 😉
I especially like both of her masks from these scenes. In both of them, she is disguised really well, which is rather unusual…
In the link below you can find hundreds of episodes of this TV show.
I don’t know if it would be worth it to dig through all of those… but perhaps I might give it a try… at least.
I have known this movie since I watched it back in the 90s.
Somehow I didn’t make a post about it, even though it was also recommended to me in the meantime.
So, it’s finally time that this crazy movie gets represented here….

Time for some sneaky business!
Caught!
Time to dance!

Yeah, I know… you could easily say that the hood she wears during her sneaky night activity doesn’t count as a mask.
That it is just to make her less visible.
But I think it is also a disguise. A rather stupid one, but a disguise.
After all, she is a journalist who appears on TV, even if that is just a cover.
Of course, I would have preferred her to wear a real mask, but I bet the movie makers didn’t want to fully cover her face… 🙁 … same old story.
Also, it makes no sense why she would pull back the hood once she seemingly feels safe for no reason.
In my version she would have worn a full mask, Colonel Guile surprises her and attacks her… trying to unmask her while she is trying frantically to prevent that….
As she escapes we see Kylie Minogue in her uniform. Damn, I wish she would have worn a mask at some time in this movie…
It’s really interesting how the same “reporter” then appears again in a mask, just minutes later.
This time with a mask that is disguising her pretty well… unlike the rest of her outfit 😉 #theselegs
Wow, quite an outfit! She disguises herself with the mask so the villain won’t recognize her.
Sadly we don’t see how she takes off the mask. Would have been a nice reveal.
Yeah, her interpretation of being Zorro is rather …..unusual 😆
At this point in the story, she is more like a villainess than a heroine.
I really enjoy the scenes a lot where she is masked. It’s a good disguise (apart from the face paint she is also using without the mask) and besides her people and him, nobody knows who she is underneath that mask.
The secret identity is intact. But that might change in a future episode… 😉
The quick self-unmasking and re-masking here is also a nice treat in this one.
I will post more from this show in the upcoming weeks.

Here is the IMDB page of the TV show (scenes are from episode 4):
I already had the French DVD set of Queen of Swords in my collection (with English audio on it as well).
But when they released a German DVD set as well last year… I just had to have it too.
These days I am rewatching the complete show with its 22 episodes and was reminded that my posts about the highlights of the show here… are incomplete.
That has to change!

The Queen of Swords?
She has to fight VS Captain Grisham
…and Colonel Montoya has her at gunpoint!

Yeah, well… the fact that she is an imposter isn’t a secret for one second as she does look different, and even the mask is a bit different… at least to a regular follower of the show.
It’s nice that he starts the unmasking with “…and now for the unveiling…”, but it’s a shame she doesn’t resist or say anything.
Also, it’s quite odd that he unbinds her mask like that instead of yanking it off her head (slowly), so the camera isn’t on her face the whole time.
Certainly, this is a big moment for the two men, who then still think that they just captured the real Queen of Swords.
But Montoya realizes rather quickly that she isn’t the real one.
I will post one or more scenes from the episodes as it has a lot to offer 🙂
My last post was about the upcoming movie “Madame Web” with the gorgeous Sydney Sweeney.
She is also masked in another movie and that one I would like to feature today!
She and her partner love to spy on the neighbors with binoculars and now they even wanna install a microphone at the apartment of a guy across the street!
So they go to a party that he is hosting to have fun and put that microphone in place there…
Preview:
Posing for the camera…

Well, with that wig and mask… she is disguised very well!
A shame that there isn’t a scene in it with an unmasking or costume change.
Also, I do like that she is wearing a pantyhose with her costume even though that feature is mostly hidden in the dark or off-screen.
The masked guy even touches her pantyhosed legs as he is carrying her on his shoulder…. #naughty
In this scene, she is already pretty intrigued by him and they will have a very sexy scene later on where Sydney is showing … a lot!
If you wanna see Sydney’s sexy twins… you should check out the whole movie 😉
Since you can’t see her unmasked face in this video… here is a picture of her without the mask from this movie:
