Alma-Ricky: Hot combination
In the mid-late ’70s, two of the biggest sex symbols were Alma Moreno and Ricky Belmonte. And what a hot combination they made on the big screen.
Consider three of their starrers:
Buhay: Ako Sa Itaas, Ikaw sa Ibaba!. Amalia Fuentes shared stellar billing with Alma and Ricky in ‘The year’s battle of the sexes...’
Sugar Daddy with Luis Gonzales in the title role. ‘Magugulat! Masisiyahan! At mananabik kayo! Sa inyong masasaksihan!’
Iwasan: Kabaret, also starring Charito Solis, Elizabeth Oropesa, Beth Bautista. ‘This is the story of four women... four loves... in the house of pleasure.’
Ricky started in wholesome roles, mostly for Sampaguita Pictures, but in the mid-’70s, he metamorphosed into a sex symbol. But he also made serious films in the ’80s. Alma was launched to stardom in Ligaw na Bulaklak followed by Eva Fonda. — RKC
