Wow, what a beauty at age 41. Sadly, she's gone now. I hope she's in MILF heaven.
shareLOL, I was just stopping by to note the unreasoning, animalistic lust for Jeanne Crain that consumes me every time I see this movie. She out-sexies both her daughter AND Mimsey Farmer, which is quite the feat. Whatever Dana Andrews' Tom Phillips had he must have had quite a bit of it. She gets this feral look in her eye when she gets intense that suggests a desperate, wanton need to be pleasured.
I'd never want to see a stupid Hollywood remake of this film, but boy image how much more twisted the story would have been if the punks had come onto her instead of the daughter. She would have eaten both of them up for lunch at the same time, left them with a dazed but happy expression on their faces in some seedy motel room ... and then the movie would have been over.
Reet.
shareI have to say that I agree with every poster in this thread.
Damn, what a MILF.
she is HOT STUFF.she looked better than she did in the two decades previous to this film!
shareYeah, she's too wholesome looking in A Letter to Three Wives and Pinky. Here she's all woman. She could have played Mrs. Robinson this same year.
Of course she SHOULD be hot if she's gonna play opposite Dana Andrews--who was still smokin' hot n' handsome pushin' 60.
She's totally hot compared to 1951's "People Will Talk", 16 years earlier. In that film, she was beautiful. In this one, she's really hot.
shareI'm just caught this cult classic on TCM and I completely agree with everyone that Jeanne Crain was gorgeous! She totally blew away the daughter and party girl. It's sad she's no longer with us but at least we have films like this to enjoy her in her prime.
shareAlways liked Jeanne Crain, I think she gets short shrift when classic Hollywood beauties are discussed - saw this last night and my regard for her beauty was ramped up, seeing her in color. Glad to see I'm not alone in My admiration!
