Just a shame that the mechanical snakes look so awful.
In an interview Barbara Shelley says that she would have loved to play the Gorgon herself (which the studio wouldn't let her do because then everyone would know who the Gorgon is - even though most people pretty much guessed who it was anyway!) and would have been quite happy to have real snakes on her head - which she says would have looked great - then sighs as she refers to the awful mechanical ones!

That would have been fascinating, shame she didn't play the gorgon I'm sure they could have still disguised her somehow. I didn't mind the mechanical snakes-I felt her presence was still creepily striking enough to have the desired effect.
