Kim Novak looks about a foot taller than Susan Strasberg in this film. In fact, I've read in several bios that Kim was thought of as being quite tall. This is interesting to me. At 5'9", I'm pretty sure I would have been too gigantic to be an actress in the 1950's.

But Rondo Hatton, now there was beauty!

Pure logic is ruin.

Had a post here, which seems to have been deleted, joking that Kim looked like a giant next to Susan.
Could it just have been the high heels?
