Adam (Martin Milner) and Lilith (Fay Spain) are about to commit the biggest sin in human history in THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ADAM AND EVE (1960)
Like so many PEPLUM comedies, this one starts in the present and ends up in Eden in some reverie. It's one of those odd movies made back then, like WILD WOMEN OF WONGO (1955), which was a showcase of beautiful women with one scantily clad man (Milner wears a swimsuit made of leaves) and some corny theatrics in lieu of naughty sex. The movie was co-directed by Mickey Rooney and Milner sorta looks like Rooney in this shot. Like WONGO, it's hard to find a decent copy or photos of this movie. Fay Spain plays again another evil temptress, like her role in HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN (1961). She wears a one piece leotard or swimsuit. Mickey shows up as a devil in some dime-store costume. It's all so very odd. A spectacular movie based on Adam and Eve as yet to be made.
I posted a better publicity photo of Milner and Spain at PEPLUM Xtra.
