Jean Harlow? More like Jean Harlot.
Am I right, people? Bros before you-know-what's!
shareI really liked the character of Jean Harlow, she wasn't an admirable character, but it reflected more accurately the change in women and real life.
She was about as human as they come. No Donna Reeds in this film.
I was actually astonished at how this wasn't some pie-in-the-sky death before dishonor film.
I applaud Howard Hughes for such a bold loose-accuracy of the war. Quite an achievement for the time.

I LOVED Jean in this movie! Actually, I may just be biased because she is my favourite actress of all time, and she can do no harm in my eyes. But I agree with you, WritersCramp, that her character was really realistic. She was just bored with Roy, and who wouldn't be? He was a boring character, with nothing sexy or fun about him!
Speaking of Jean, wasn't she GORGEOUS in this movie? Especially in her final scene, when she yelled at Roy. I almost had a stroke. Talk about beauty.

I've never believed that story, because when you analyze it, it doesn't make sense. So at this dinner party, the guests did not introduce themselves out loud, but instead wrote their names down for others to see? Even if Jean didn't know how to pronounce Margot on paper, if Lady Asquith had introduced herself as "Margo", Jean would have heard how to pronounce it, possibly not even aware there was a "t" there. I think somebody realized the connection between "Harlow" and "Harlot", and made up this story to exploit that similarity. It makes for good party chatter, but it breaks down when you really think about it.
Good and evil match perfect; it's a great romance.

She should have been honest with him from the start. Instead of pretending to be "what he wanted her to be", she should have told him the truth.
shareI have always found her ugly and vulgar.
shareNo Donna Reeds in this film
People forget that Donna Reed won an Oscar for playing a prostitute in From Here to Eternity. share
