Goddamn, that waitress Rose had some a$$
Even by today's standards, that a$$ was something else! Woof!
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Even by today's standards
Meaning what, exactly? That our standards for judging women have somehow increased over time? Or that women are anatomically superior nowadays?

Um, yes, and yes. Have you ever seen movies from the 30s? The women are all completely flat-chested, and have those pencil-thin tweezed eyebrows. Even the dancers are not exactly boner-inducing.
And yes, the advent of aerobics and silicone have made today's women anatomically superior.

So you admit your stupidity and then confirm it, in case those reading hadn't caught on.

This movie's from the 50s, but yes I have. Evidently you haven't.

You shouldn't be watching movies or attempting to analyze women by generation for the sake of your "boner"; you need to be tethered to a pole while PGA contestants tee-off on your head. This wasn't just the Golden Age of Hollywood we're talking, these were the Glory Days of Beauty. This was a time when words like "vivacious" and "voluptuous" were in full bloom, as goddesses like Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Ingrid Bergman, Elizabeth Taylor, and Angie Dickinson proliferated. It was the epoch of sexiness, the era of nubile bliss. These women are not just enshrined in movie legend, but are fawned-over and vaunted sex icons.
And yes, the advent of aerobics and silicone have made today's women anatomically superior.
Yeah, because activities like running and jumping rope are concepts novel to the 21st century The advent of botox, emphasis on cosmetology, all-time high numbers for liposuction, and promoted image of "skinniness" have resulted in a race of cheapified, fake-looking, starved, bony bitches who can't even begin to compare to the women of yesterday. They're women of a devolved state, husks of what was once ideal in the preferred sex. Gone are the curves, sophistication, and ethereal beauty of the aforementioned women, replaced by products of advertising and tanning beds. Who do we have nowadays that can compete? Jennifer Aniston? Kate Beckinsale? Rachel McAdams? GTF outta here.
So yes, I think it's hilarious that you find a woman packin' junk in the trunk from a 50s movie to be the exception. It was the norm, padawan.

AKA, I'm a brain-fried moron who just had my ass soundly kicked, so I'll retreat and evade you with the simple click of a button.
The tranquility of denial will be transient, while that tiny voice inside will only grow louder.

why was the 'chattanooga choo choo' playing at a hawaiian bar?
sake happens
I was just coming here to make a post about how this film made me realize how creepy Hawaiian music is.
Cheese fries...next time.
not a don ho fan?

Too funny. Don Ho is one of the people I was thinking of. I've always liked seeing him show up in classic tv shows, but something about how they sing one note a little loud, then the next note is soft, then loud, etc... It's lulling and creepy at the same time.
Cheese fries...next time.
This is on tonight! Maybe I'll finally get to watch it from beginning to end. I usually miss the beginning which has one of my favorite parts. It's the scene when Burt Lancaster is checking out Deborah Kerr for the first time. The dialogue is great.

burt's character was 'born smart'.
Life's like a Cabo Carne Asada: never know how spicy it's gunna get.
First of all, totally agree about her ass. Superb posterior. Love Warden's line about how much he enjoys watching her walk away.
Secondly, 30's actresses were all flat-chested? Uh, ever heard of Mae West or Jean Harlow or Marlene Dietrich or Bette Davis? No ironing boards in that group.
"Push the button, Max!"
Well, Mae West was just a fattie, wasn't she? Sure, a fattie who knew how to talk dirty, but still.
Googling "Marlene Dietrich chest" doesn't come up with anything revealing. Jean Harlow, sure, she's got it going on up top, but not like today's silicon babes.
And I don't like Bette Davis, so there's that. But I'll stand by my general statement that actresses of that era were generally flat. Exceptions like the one's you're pointing out prove the general rule.

Other factors to consider:
-The flapper style of the 20's, which favored slender women and de-emphasized women's chests, extended into the 30's. Many of those flat-chested 30's actresses probably had more than they were showing.
-The push up bra didn't appear until the 60's. Lots of actresses today who seem well endowed are getting help from their bras.
Not that I'm against enhancement (if it's done well), but I'll take natural over implants almost every time.
"Push the button, Max!"
How would you personally know?
