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!

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. God, yes!

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! “Stop poundin’ my ears–I’ve had it up to here with your bring-down!”

Tony Bennett's narration alone is enough to send you into hysterical fits of laughter ... but the dialogue! Oh my god, it's priceless.

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.
