Thanks to qwerty75137 for finding and posting those caps from Red. That led me to look into where they might have come from and in doing so have uncovered a short amount of footage from the film with Gabrielle Drake including some of her topless scene.

It turns out that Red has been unearthed and was shown last year at the Sitges Film Festival 2022 in Spain to honour the work of Astrid Frank (its director) who attended and was interviewed.

Those caps come from the Sitges line-up announcement

And here is a passage from a preview of the event on the Variety website

An embodiment of this spirit is Astrid Frank, who will be honored at this year's festival.*Heidi Honeycutt unearthed two short films by Frank and will showcase them at the festival.*On the rediscovery of both the films and making contact with Astrid Frank, Heidi Honeycutt said, "Connecting the audience to the artist is so important and wonderful. The older people get, you can miss the opportunity and that is really really sad, so I’m so happy it’s come together."*

The first short "Red," was only seen in Spain once, at San Sebastian in 1976. The second, "The Jealous Mirror," has never been shown outside the UK. Frank's directorial vision was aided by the legendary cinematographer of "The Third Man," "Brief Encounter" and "El Cid," Robert Krasker. Frank told*Variety*Krasker’s initial advice was "to*shout more, but that is not my style, I didn’t have to shout."

At 85, Astrid Frank remains energetic and full of drive for her artistic expression. She will travel from her home in London to Sitges with a finished feature length script in hand, hoping to meet a younger filmmaker to take it on.

Sitges has a YouTube page and to coincide with the event they had posted a tribute video to Astrid Frank which includes footage from her films including some from Red which shows a bit of Gabrielle Drake topless (and being decapitated!).

The Red footage is at the end and clearly signposted by the title coming up.

Great - at one point I was in touch with someone who had a copy of Red, but would not release it. Maybe now it will get a long overdue release!

From 1973 we have an entertaining and interesting edition of the arts programme "Omnibus" about the British hero through the ages.

It features Gabrielle Drake as the Heroine...and Katya Wyeth as the Vamp, along with non speaking parts for the likes of Venetian Day, and Yasuko Nagazumi.

Enjoy.
