Little Black Dress

Jessica Harper in that little black dress.

Strolling With Jessica

Jessica Harper's magnificent stroll from the
goofy movie musical Shock Treatment (1981).









Jessica Harper has wonderful eyes, too.
I'll have to do a whole post about her eyes sometime.

Dody Heath

Actress Dodie (aka Dody) Heath crosses a room in a 1959 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. She was in Brigadoon (1954), The Diary of Anne Frank (1959), Ask Any Girl (1959), and Seconds (1966).

My Favorite Silent Movie Scene

My favorite scene from Mel Brooks' Silent Movie (1976) is when Bernadette Peters does a dance that blows everybody completely out of their chairs.

G A L

Gorilla at Large (1954) is a 3-D Technicolor B-movie murder mystery, featuring a delicious Anne Bancroft (The Girl in Black Stockings, The Miracle Worker, The Graduate), Cameron Mitchell (They Were Expendable, House of Bamboo, The Toolbox Murders), Lee J. Cobb (Thieves' Highway, The Man Who Cheated Himself, Our Man Flint), Raymond Burr (Bride of the Gorilla, A Cry in the Night, Godzilla), Peter Whitney (Blues in the Night, The Big Heat, In the Heat of the Night) and our very own Lee Marvin (The Big Heat, Shack Out on 101, Point Blank). Actress Charlotte Austin, who plays Cameron Mitchell's girlfriend, was also in (swear to God) both Monkey Business (1952) and Queen of the Gorillas (1958). And small actor Billy Curtis, who plays a midget, also played midget parts in The Wizard of Oz (1939), The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), and High Plains Drifter (1973). Gorilla at Large was filmed in 3D at Long Beach, California's Nu Pike Amusement Park. YouTube has a trailer and a sexy scene.

And then there's this walk. . .
