John Phillip Law, 1937–2008

Pygar the angel, Barbarella (1968). John Phillip Law, who died on Tuesday, was featured here last year in a look at Mario Bava’s crazy live action fumetti, Danger Diabolik (below). Law made that film the same year as he played a blind angel in an equally crazy slab of Sixties’ decadence, Barbarella. In a more serious role, he played opposite the very formidable Rod Steiger in The Sergeant which was released the same year; together with Victim, this was one of the first films I remember watching that dealt with same-sex attraction (albeit in the usual angst-ridden mode), with Law’s character being the understandable object of Steiger’s doomed affection.

Pygar Goes to Heaven
http://www.cheryl-morgan.com/?p=1042Via John Coulthart I discover that John Philip Law has died. Actors, of course, tend to be easily forgotten, but Pygar the Angel was indelibly imprinted on my teenage imagination and will remain with me forever.
