Waking up before 8am on a Saturday morning is not usually a pleasurable experience but I sat down with my coffee, checked into the old internet and this was my first visual treat of the day. A foxy pick me up! I still haven’t got round to seeing this yet (which is weird seeing as it’s got Jill, Eleanor Parker and Elke in it).
Thanks Donna.

I love the “I’m gettin’ a little wound up - and not the good kind” look on Tony Bennet’s face

Oh Arthur, if only you were stateside and could come to Chez Lethal for one of my “bad movie nites.” Tony Bennett’s narration alone is enough to send you into hysterical fits of laughter … but the dialogue! Oh my god, it’s priceless.

“Stop poundin’ my ears–I’ve had it up to here with your bring-down!”
I take it you got Mel’s copy of The Oscar? It’s where all good pale-orange wiglets go to die. I love the fact that Hedda Hopper’s pale-orange wiglet is actually bigger than she is!

God, yes! My tivo’d copy started in the middle, so I had missed the beginning. Almost ALL of the women look like creamsicles, except for Elke Sommer, who is so fuzzy that you can barely see her. And that doesn’t even make sense, because she was so young! They should have fuzzed out Borgnine or Broderick Crawford (!) instead.

The same year that “The Oscar” came out, Jill St. John was a guest villainess on “Batman.” She infiltrated the Bat Cave, but she was killed when she fell into the core of Batman’s personal nuclear reactor. Jill was on quite a roll in 1966!

Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Part VII:
HYMIE KELLY (Tony Bennett) gets irate after FRANKIE (Stephen Boyd; or FWANKIE, as Elke calls him)inquires in not so nice a way (”What ever happened to that pig?”) as to the whereabouts of Jill St. John’s character…
HYMIE: (sething) I MARRIED HER!
FRANKIE: So what’s your problem? Why take it out on me? Where is she?
HYMIE (gritting more teeth than Kirk Douglas)…She DIED! She DIED on the operating table…having YOUR BABY!
FRANKIE: Oh, gee, Hymie, I’m sorry.
PRODUCERS-audience-reaction-close-up-shock-shot of Elke Sommer accompanied by dastardly villain music…Shouldn’t have been such a blow as witness to Hymie’s previous narration commentary (”Frankie used women like Kleenex”…). Unfortunately there’s no such visual to substantiate this claim…
