Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the first movie in which a mainstream American actress (Jayne Mansfield) appeared nude in several revealing scenes). It reportedly took some imbibing of champagne on Mansfield's part to get her out of her clothes the first time, although her fellow actors revealed in later interviews that she seemed to enjoy being naked on set and the attention she got so much, especially from men, that she started traipsing around between scenes. In fact, a photo in Kenneth Anger's book "Hollywood Babylon II" shows Mansfield on the set completely nude chatting with the crew.
- GoofsAt the start of the film when Sandy (Jayne Mansfield) is in the bubble-bath, she breaks the 4th Wall by glancing several times towards the camera when she is supposed to act as if she is alone.
- Quotes
Ship's Doctor: Now then, just dissolve this in an alcoholic drink and take it down.
Jeff Brooks: You mean to say that this pill is going to help me become a father?
Ship's Doctor: I have every reason to believe it will.
Jeff Brooks: Wow! What's in it?
Ship's Doctor: Well, let us just say it will accomplish a purpose. Immediately afterwards, however, a temporary state of amnesia may occur.
Jeff Brooks: Oh, amnesia?
Ship's Doctor: There's nothing to worry about.
Jeff Brooks: Oh, thank you, Doctor.
Ship's Doctor: You're very welcome. 'Bye.
Ship's Doctor: [recording his notes] Patient Jeffrey Brooks, professional writer, travelling on world cruise with his wife, Sandra. Couple married four years. No children. Patient has symptoms of extreme tension and anxiety caused by apparent infertility. Normal in all other respects. Prescribed five grains of salicylic acid, telling patient it would produce great excitement accompanied by complete freedom from anxiety and inhibitions. A simple experiment in the power of suggestion. Patient is, of course, unaware that the dosage is an aspirin tablet. It will be interesting to see what happens.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968)
This film is like a 1950s-60s sitcom episode, made into a movie. It feels innocent and clean, the way "Leave It To Beaver" or "I Love Lucy" did. So, to see such nudity in this sort of film was a real turn-off for me, as it just didn't feel right. It felt out-of-place for the period and that whole innocent sitcom world- so out of place, as to seem freakish- and it was only from the belly up nudity! There was no sex scene, but certainly enough allusion to sex in this- to the point of being rather shocking!
So yeah, would have liked this film handled in the more old-Hollywood way, where she would have been covered by a towel, and the sex subject was less obvious. That being said, I still can't help but to like it but in a very mixed-feelings way.
