The Deadly Bees(1966)
 

OK, it's no masterpiece.

But when I was 10 years old, it was the first horror film I paid to see in a theatre, so it holds sentimental value for me.

Some of the acting was over the top, and the bee effects were not the greatest, but I was ten, and so this film gave me a lifelong phobia about bees!

I thought Catherine Finn, the little known actress who played the ill fated bee victim Mrs Hargrove, was a superb, unsung talent.
She popped up in several British horror films of this period, and deserved better roles than what she got.

She was Mrs Michael Ripper in real life.

Anyone see this film, or the superb Mystery Science Theatre take on it?

You're right , it certainly is'nt a masterpiece but It's kinda fun .
It was made by Amicus and directed by Freddie Francis who went on to direct Dracula Has Risen From The Grave .
Susannah Leigh is the gorgeous blonde starlet who manages to run around in her underwear in several scenes ( always good to know )
I met her a couple of years ago . She's still very attractive and was stunned that I remembered the film . She was also in The Lost Continent and Paradise Hawain Style with Elvis .
