What the ad won't tell you is that Guy Green's "mature adult entertainment" is about a child molester's struggle to reform, with help from Rod Steiger's psychiatrist and Maria Schell's love interest. Not the sort of thing I expect from Whitman, who had co-starred with John Wayne in The Comancheros that same year, but more power to him if he pulled it off. The trailer is a little coy, too, but it drops some hints. Take a look at it from reelz.com.
The Mark | Guy Green | Maria Schell | Stuart Whitman | Movie Trailer | Review
Before anyone takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque, pull into the Cactus Drive-In for an unsual double bill.
A Woman Like Satan is an alternate title for what is officially known in English as The Female, but was called The Woman and the Puppet in France. I'm not sure what makes it an "action hit," but here's a no-English-necessary clip uploaded by DivineBB.
Mitchum promises a bumpy ride in his 1958 star vehicle, which he produced and co-wrote. He sang the theme song, too. Here's an incomplete trailer to send us home -- the text seems to be missing -- uploaded by creativelocation.

I haven't seen THE MARK, but was under the impression that Whitman received an Oscar nod for GIVE EM HELL HARRY. Perhaps he has two to his credit after reading your report here. I like this time travel feature Samuel.
But geez, Maria Schell, Rod Steiger and cinematographer Guy Green collaborating? That's an offer impossible to refuse.
You missed it by a syllable, Sam. James Whitmore got the nomination you're thinking of in 1975. And yes, I'd like to see The Mark as well.
