Hint #1: spoiler[I haven't cropped the image so, yes, the film is unusual in being presented in cinemascope, but what makes it unique is that around the half way point it actually changes from mono 5:4 to stereo (apparently quadraphonic in theatres) cinemascope.]

Every time I think I might know where this character is from, I hit a roadblock!

Yeah, this is frustrating. I know the franchise, where in the franchise this scene has to happen, and which characters are being referred to in hint #3, but tracking down the name for this character is proving to be a royal pain.

It is so.

As was common at the time, her name is printed on the screen when she first appears.

You are correct! I really thought that one would be harder with him out of his makeup

The most frustrating thing is that I checked that movie to see if she was in it and didn’t see her. Worst yet is that I have a book for that film in my collection, but currently have it buried in storage.

I don't think that would make it much harder for anyone who has seen the show. He looks that way a large portion of the time.

Anyway, sorry for the delay in posting. I just got back from a trip. Next character:
