Sanna the Sacrifice

This is Victoria Vetri as most famous role as Sanna from Hammer Studios "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHaClZ… a sort of sequel to the Hammer remake of One Million Years B.C. The excellent stop motion dinosaurs were out shoned by star Victoria Vetri. Her outfits were descibe by one critic as from Frederick's of Bedrock. There are rumors of nude scenes though none of the US Versions had any. There are stills like this 


SPOILER ALERT: This is a description of the film. Skip down withBiography
The films opens with a tribe on a cliff who are about to sacrifice three blonde women. One of them Sanna escapes and jumps off the cliff, where she is rescued by Tara and some men on a raft. Tara takes Sanna to his seaside tribe, who worship the sun, and where a plesiosaur that was roped, escapes temporarily, but is recaptured and burned to death. At the feast afterwards, we learn that a brunette woman, Ayak, is interested in Tara, but he is fascinated with Sanna who has set up a hut. He brings her food. After a fight between Sanna and Ayak in the water, Sanna's former tribe arrives, looking for her. She flees and is followed by pursuers. Hiding in a tree, a Gigantophis tries to wrap itself around her but attacks and kills one of the men, whom the three other men can't help. They think Sanna is in a nearby cave, but a Chasmosaurus attacks instead, killing one man and injuring another. Vultures, not content as scavengers, take swipes at the wounded man. When Tara seeks Sanna, he finds the one man dead and, after the Chasmosaurus charges and runs off a cliff, rescues the others.
A funeral pyre at sea is followed by a tribal frenzy during which Sanna's hut gets burned and Tara runs away. Sanna meanwhile has faced a vicious prehistoric long-tongued lizard and is nearly eaten by a plant. She cuts off her hair to escape the plant. Tara unfortunately thinks Sanna has been eaten by the man-eating plant. Sanna sleeps in a large dinosaur eggshell. The other egg hatches and the dinosaur imprints. The parent, thinking Sanna has hatched, brings her a deer carcass. Sanna plays with her new sibling. She dives and catches fish in her teeth. She finds her dinosaur involved in a fight with a few men, and she calls off the dinosaur.
While Tara is hiking back to the tribe, he is carried off by a giant Rhamphorhynchus. He kills it by ripping its wing and then stabbing it, knocking it off a cliff. Tara and Sanna reunite and go to her cave where they strip nude and make love and go skinny dipping but they are, witnessed by a lookout. When Tara returns to the tribe, he is challenged, tied to a raft, and set to sea with the raft burning. A Mosasaur knocks over the raft; Tara escapes and staggers back to Sanna. But the tribe is still searching for Sanna, and see smoke from her fire. The two run, swim, climb, and witness a dinosaur fight, but are captured. Sanna's dino sibling rescues her, but Tara they prepare to burn again. A giant crab kills a few men as the weather grows ominous again. The moon seems to be forming, and a tidal wave looms. Sanna arrives to save Tara from the giant crab, and a raft escape begins to take shape. The tribal leader tries commanding the water to heel. Ayak gets sucked into quicksand, and the leader is drowned. Sanna and Tara and two other people survive and witness an eclipse, as now the moon exists.

VICTORIA VETRI BIOGRAPHY:

Victoria Vetri (born September 26, 1944) is an American model and actress. Vetri was born in San Francisco, California to parents who were immigrants from Italy. She attended Hollywood High School in Hollywood, California between 1959 and 1963 and later studied art at Los Angeles City College. She began acting and modelling in her teens. Vetri is a singer and dancer who once turned down the voice dub for Natalie Wood in West Side Story (1961). Of this she remarked "I did not want to be known as a standby." She also auditioned for the title role in the Stanley Kubrick adaptation of Lolita but lost the role to Sue Lyon. She also writes poetry and plays guitar.
Using the name Angela Dorian, she was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for the September 1967 issue and subsequently was the 1968 Playmate of the Year. Her centerfold was photographed by Carl Gunther. Vetri won $20,000 in prizes when she was selected Playmate of the Year. Among these were a new car (an all pink 1968 AMC AMX), gold watch, skis and a ski outfit, a complete wardrobe, a movie camera, a typewriter, a tape recorder, a stereo, and a guitar. A nude photo of her (along with fellow playmates Leslie Bianchini, Reagan Wilson and Cynthia Myers) was scanned and inserted into Apollo 12 Extra-vehicular activity astronaut cuff checklists by pranksters at NASA.[1][2]
She appears briefly in Rosemary's Baby, credited as "Angela Dorian". In one scene Rosemary remarks that she resembles the actress Victoria Vetri.[3][4] In January 1969, she signed a multi-picture contract with Warner Seven Arts. Vetri was given a starring role in When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. She refused to have her hair turned blonde from its natural auburn for the film. The story required a blonde so Vetri demanded a wig instead. Columnist Hy Gardner nominated Vetri as a new sex symbol on the Hollywood horizon in March 1971.
Vetri posed topless for the April 1984 Playboy pictorial Playmates Forever! Part Two. In Tom Clancy's 2004 biography of Gen. Tony Zinni, USMC (Ret.), Battle Ready (Chapter 2), Zinni remarks on having received a copy of the September 1967 Playboy Centerfold foldout from a group of other advisers for his birthday. He still has it as a memento of his time in Vietnam.
