THE WOMEN OF LOGAN'S RUN: PART THREE



PART THREE OF THREE

If there was ever a woman that deserved to be described as angelically-beautiful, it was Jenny Agutter. And yes, I know that every person on earth has a different definition of beauty.

While watching LOGAN'S RUN, my youthful mind ran wild with unwholesome thoughts. I loved the way she looked in that transparent mini-dress. All the female cast members wore them.



During the "ice cave" scene she took off that little dress, and I was mesmerized, and I stayed that way for the rest of the week.

When I was younger, it was normal for PG rated flicks to have nudity in them.



FYI: I'm almost positive she was wearing a "modesty patch" during that scene.


Jenny Agutter in SWEET WILLIAM ( top ), and THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS ( bottom )

Ms. Agutter dosen't spend a lot of time in THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS.

I think she did a great job in SWEET WILLIAM, and she looks incredibly cute.



I thought EQUUS was a memorable film.



I also liked watching her in THE EAGLE HAS LANDED, DOMINIQUE, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE SURVIVOR, CHILD'S PLAY 2, and a rare movie called DARK TOWER.

I think she's appeared in at least two comic book based flicks. THE AVENGERS and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, but I can NOT confirm this, since I've never seen those movies ( and not everything on the IMDB is true ).



CHINA 9, LIBERTY 37 - Is one of my favorite Jenny Agutter films, and I think it's really underrated.

It's been butchered countless times, and in countless ways.

What happened to this movie, is a cinematic crime!

Good luck trying to find an uncut version of this movie on region one DVD!

I've only seen it uncut twice. Once on cable tv ( a long time ago ), and once online.

I'm NOT going to get my hopes up, waiting for a restored version to hit DVD.


Jenny Agutter in MAGNUM P.I. ( episode: LITTLE GAMES )

Ms. Agutter has done a lot of television work.


Jenny Agutter in MAGNUM P.I. ( episode: LITTLE GAMES )

I still remember her episode of MAGNUM. I couldn't get my eyes off of her as she rode a horse like Lady Godiva - unfortunately for me, she was clothed... ha-ha-ha.



It was fun to watch her play an astronaut on THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.

As I write this, she's still working. I saw her in an English show called CALL THE MIDWIFE ( it airs on PBS ).



Ms. Agutter has had a long career. She even performed on BROADWAY.

Most of Ms. Agutter's work has been released on legit VHS, and region one DVD. However, there still might be a few that are not for sale, or only available in "cut" form.

As you know, LOGAN'S RUN has a dark storyline, and in my opinion, it should have been even darker - more nudity, more violence, and more paranoia.

Maybe it was darker... I've been told repeatedly, that LOGAN'S RUN had much more violence and nudity in it. It was allegedly CUT, and that footage is now "lost".

I've also been told that it was originally going to be rated R. Can anyone out there confirm this with facts?

So who cut it?... The studio?... The filmmakers?

LOGAN'S RUN was released on legit VHS by MGM.

It was also released on region one DVD countless times by WARNER BORS. The old "snapper" case with poster art, is my favorite.

  1. I'd agree that "angelically-beautiful" is a perfect way to describe Ms. Agutter!

  3. Oh yeah, she's right up there with Dianna Rigg and Jane Seymour. Just watched Logan's Run again. Those 2 screen caps of her have been burned into my memory for almost 40 years. Ah to be 13 again and seeing at in the theater for the first time. :-)

  4. Got the Blu-ray new for only $4.25, and it looks gorgeous. Of course I'd assume that any modern remake would be darker, but for all its flaws, LR 1976 is a gorgeous movie from a better time. Everything today with all the stupid CGI crap looks like a damned videogame.
