Captain Englehorn


'That's the thing about cockroaches. No matter how many times you flushed them down the toilet, they always crawl back up the bowl.'
Captain Englehorn 


I had planned during my King Kong to feature actors from both the 1933, and the 2005 adaptations from the films.  For the 1933 version, the choice was easy, it was going to be actor Bruce Cabot who played John Driscoll.  For the 2005 version, the choice was harder.  There were a lot of great, and a lot of hot actors in the film.  The male cast included; Jack Black, Jamie Bell, Adrien Brody and Colin Hanks. 


My favorite actor in the film however, wasn't it's John Driscoll, but it's Captain Englehorn, played by German actor Thomas Kretschmann.  I've always found Kretschmann incredibly hot, ever since seeing clips from his early nude scenes posted on various sites and forms.  The actor made Captain Englehorn also one of the films most interesting characters.  The character could easily have blended into the background, but not the hands of the talented  Kretschmann.


Actor and former model Kretschmann has about a half a dozen films on his nude scene resume, most from early in his career.  It was difficult to choose a favorite, but thanks to poster Alberto on DreamCap, the choice was made a little easier. 


I was searching for some of the movies with the scenes, but good quality copies were difficult to find.  Thanks to Alberto post, I discovered his caps from Kretschmann;s turn in the 1995 Italian film, Marciando nel buio. (Marching in Darkness) Thanks also to xyzpdq, who had an old clip of the scene.


Marciando nel buio
(1995)


'A young recruit to the Italian army discovers and rejects the seedy world of soldiers who prostitute themselves to supplement their income. But before leaving this world he is raped by a highly-respected senior officer  and must decide whether to risk bringing proceedings against him.'
