The cruise ship is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Marilyn performs "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" in it.

Jane Russell is the other one, I presume.

oh yeah. (My brain is currently full of evidence rules and doesn't have space for movie titles.)

I like Breakfast at Tiffanys.

And I'm not sure why, but I miss seeing George Peppard in stuff (yes, I know he died). That's probably one of the many reasons I TiVO the A-Team.

And I really hope this plot outline from IMDB is wrooooooong.

. Better yet I hope the whole movie is scrapped.

The poor-man's Marlyn, namely Jayne Mansfield, is in a fabulous movie called The Girl Can't Help It.

Hysterical Frank Tashlin pic, lots of early rock'n'roll bands doing famous numbers, even Julie London in a featured cameo, and her classic rendition of Cry Me a River featuring heavily in the story.


Oh, why oh why can't I find this one on DVD? It's an absolute classic!

ooooh! I've had that song stuck in my head for weeks! (probably due to listening to the CD over and over again.) It's not on DVD?

Dunno, but I've never seen it. I had an old videotape that I taped off some pay channel about 15 years ago, but i lost it.


Say it with me now ... BAH.

They used to show The Girl Can't Help It on TCM (widescreen, no less), which is where I taped it. But it looks like amazon.co.uk has it on DVD for less than 13 bucks (plus shipping).

It is part of this Jayne Mansfield DVD collection. Here it is all on its own but it is out of print so the used copies are going for a fair chunk of change (just as much as for the collection)

The UK Version is reasonably priced, though, if your player can play it.

Speaking of spoilers - I've seen several trailers multiple times over the last few weeks (I'd like someone to explain to me how trailers are selected - are they "attached" to a movie by the studio or the distributor? Are they selected by the theater? A combination?) - and I feel like I know everything I need to know about them and more.

I've had a copy of Kairo sitting in my "to watch" pile for over a year, and had very little idea of the several plot twists. Now that I've seen the trailer for Pulse, the American remake of the Japanese horror flick. I feel like I don't need to see either.

Jayne Mansfield was way hotter than Marilyn imho... till she lost her head.
