Thanx Nightposter, much appreciated. You are right, it is a ridiculous and at the same time immensely frustrating scene. Who on earth was the camera director as they need shooting!

the way she left kind of looks like a deadskirts scene to me. maybe a fetish element in their that the director had and in ridiculous way fitted in there. I wish she had a death stare in that last shot though.

When I first saw this film in the mid 70's, my then girlfriend and I were cheering for the bad guy to chop her up with the machete he had been holding. the strangulation scene was..er... "interesting" for both of us (sitting in the car at the drive - in) almost left so we could get frisky... now it's a "yea, so" scene..

The killer did not "clean up her body. When he gets up, he walks in the direction they were moving and picks up the machete, turns and lifts the blade ( there were a couple of heads rolling around in this movie)
he is looking down at her and that last pic is what we saw.

Judging from the groans from the surrounding cars, we were not the only ones unhappy with her death pose...

The specific example I am thinking about comes from the 1957 Pickup Alley (aka Interpol) starring the wooden but likeable Victor Mature as a DEA officer and the pneumatic Anita Ekberg.

Victor Mature once admitted that he was "no actor." The story goes that he was applying for a membership in an exclusive golf club that did not allow actors to join. When they told Mature that he would not be accepted as a member because of their policy, Mature shot back, "Hell, I'm no actor and I have 50 movies to prove it!"
