Music, Sex, and Sweetness in THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT (1955)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Apr 5, 2012
Jayne Mansfield's legacy has been a doubtful one, most often noted for its tragic ending and Mansfield's failure to eclipse the fame of fellow blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. That's a shame, too, because she really shines in the 1956 musical comedy, The Girl Can't Help It. Far from being a mere de read more

GlamAmor Posted by on Nov 23, 2010
A blogger caught this eerie similarity between a moment in Rear Window and another in an episode of AMC's Mad Men
