Navel Maneuver


I remember seeing this flick in the very early 60's on NY TV and what was amazing about it, considering the censorship of the day, was the scene in which she appeared in a makeshift "bikini-esque" costume with a small bit of cloth covering her belly button. But the cloth kept moving to one side and this had to be very risque for a 1954 movie, and just as daring on early 60's TV, at a time when Barbara Eden's navel was a no-no.

It's about time I watched this movie again... I have it on Video, but it's been years since I played it.
Something reminded me of it today, and although I'm no great fan of Miss Collins, I feel pretty sure she was at her most beautiful at this time!
I know she had a long-held reputation for looking good, well into middle age, but c'mon people... watch this movie (but not "Just" for Joan... it's a good movie) and you will see what I mean!

BTW: Just remembered another very good movie to recommend...('cos of similar title!)... "His Girl Friday" (it's terrific!... but Joan Collins ain't in it!)

Also: Watch "Sea Wife". Another good movie. This does have Joan Collins in it! (She plays a Nun... Stranded on a desert island with Richard Burton, if I remember correctly!)

not only her, the guys in the nude from behind, that was also daring for early 50s
