Now what was the last time that a Cult Sirens profile was put online? I’d rather not answer that question… Still, you’ll agree that it was worth the wait, as we welcome today a personal favorite, the luscious Claudia Cardinale!

The first movie that ever gave me an erotic thrill (even when just seeing its trailer on television in the early 70s!) remains Les pétroleuses, a titanic meeting between two of Europe’s biggest sex-symbols: Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale. Mainly known as a more or less dumb comedy, its most memorable scene is the slugfest in an oil filed between BB and CC. Oddly, this film doesn’t seem to exist yet as a Region 1 DVD.

As for this poster, well I just adore seeing these two sexy stars posing in typical masculine western clothing while still remaining gorgeous.
