Alice Reed's shirt


The very first night that Prof. Warnley is with Alice Reed she has a shirt on that is sheer, see-thru, and out of this world! I may be mistaken, can somebody help? Does she have a bra on during that entire scene?

reply

Yes autojam - I'm streaming it on Netflix right now & she's wearing a bra with a full slip over it!

Women don't wear that kind of slip much anymore, but back in the 40's & 50's a woman who didn't wear a full slip was looked on as "not being ladylike" & was thought to be "easy" or "loose" - at least that's what my mother told me many, many years ago, when I was a young girl & complained about her making me wear a full slip, instead of the half slips I much preferred.

Almost undoubtedly not, and the jury's still out whether she has a slip on throughout that scene. (See the other discussion thread on this.)

I just noticed this whilst watching, and couldn't help but think, 'is she actually showing her you-know-what's-it?!'

I took this screencap at 22:09; judge for yourselves. To me, it looks as though she has indeed nothing on underneath:
