I'm alerted to all comments via e-mail, so I still see them as if their fresh and new (which they are!) I'm thrilled that you like the site and my (exhaustive, as one reader put it!) movie tributes such as this one and the crazy "The Big Cube." They take a lot out of me, so when someone likes them, I'm pleased to death.<br /><br />And, yes, it's always been a goal of mine to turn the spotlight on the folks who otherwise get just some "spill light" from the one shining on the big stars, LOL! There are always websites devoted to major movie and TV stars, so The Underworld tries to give an occasional boost to the lesser-heralded talents (though, even saying that, I still pay tribute to my own favorite big-leaguers.)<br /><br />Thanks again for reading and commenting!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-86974890246101642512015-07-24T11:52:23.067-04:002015-07-24T11:52:23.067-04:00OMG Poseidon you are addictive!

Joey is cute and sexy and all, but the glam in the film comes from Jeanette (and not only her hair and clothes, but some great earrings, too!)<br /><br />Ken, if you're a Joey fan, you must have found yourself in heaven when you finally got to see this! I daresay it's probably her best or close to best bit of film acting? This movie in color is something that might have blown my mind.<br /><br />Angelman, so glad that you (and apparently so many other of my www friends!) made it a point to see this. And you're right, it's rare to see Nolan as one of the "haves" since she so often was schoolmarms, bag ladies, household staff and so on. She clearly relished it!<br /><br />Harpo, thanks for reading and for commenting! Glad to see you here. For those who never saw "Dirty Sally" it is 180 degrees from this in every way, isn't it?? Shows the range she had. That was one committed, low-down (but endearing) hillbilly role!<br /><br />Narciso! LOL Thanks for invoking Yma Sumac here at The Underworld. I think the only time I've ever written about her was in my tribute to "The Apple."<br /><br />LOL Gingerguy, I was drinking water through a straw while reading your comment and almost shot some through my nose when I got to your "(what?)" HILARIOUS! And it does still slay me that she went for "a walk" amongst huge boulders and globs of seaweed with old bodies entangled in it. LOLOL<br /><br />I'm so delighted that a large contingent of my readers caught this when it aired! Hopefully, it will run again soon for anyone who missed it and wants to see it in all its glory.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-77967025166013866372015-04-20T09:48:56.917-04:002015-04-20T09:48:56.917-04:00Wow, a killer recap and some great comments.

Joey does a song called "My Blood Runs Cold" I kept expecting to hear it during the credits, but never did. The opening "burlap" scene confused me, as the costume looks almost medieval (before blond white people were in California)but then you find out it's early 19th century. Joey sticks out from the pack with her unique brand of tortured sexiness-crazy, pouty faces. I loved the seaweed scene! who would wade through slimy seaweed? This might be one of the best hairdo movies for me, on par with "What A Way To Go"<br />So fun PoseidenGingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-71997262328162138292015-04-18T21:57:07.412-04:002015-04-18T21:57:07.412-04:00I love Nolan's ini dan trading post garb, left...I love Nolan's ini dan trading post garb, leftovers brought directly from Yma Sumac's "Inca Taqui" cover shoot.Narcisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145756558278365203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-66513836498040772982015-04-18T16:43:06.417-04:002015-04-18T16:43:06.417-04:00The collapse of any one of the Jeanette Nolan hair...The collapse of any one of the Jeanette Nolan hairdos in this movie had to be the inspiration for Dirty Sally's signature bedhead coiffe.

Troy Donahue was the hottest beefcake around in those days, wow, he is a looker, but soo wooden and flat in his performances, to the point of unintended hilarity...fortunately, for his psycho role here, it kind of plays well!<br /><br />My favorite performance in this is by Jeannette Nolan...great character actress in a rare diva turn! Great role, and GREAT hats!!<br /><br />-Chris<br />angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-11306226209636151262015-04-17T18:43:47.852-04:002015-04-17T18:43:47.852-04:00As a Heatherton fan, this is a film I've been ...As a Heatherton fan, this is a film I've been wanting to see for a long time as well. Since DVR-ing on TCM I confess to having watched it about four times by now.<br />It's wretched in a lot of ways (really cries out for color) but as soon as I saw the hairdos I thought of you.<br />Nolan looks like Ruth Gordon Crossed with Agnes Moorehead and would come close to upstaging Heatherton had director Cannon not been savvy enough to keep Lola, I mean Joy, in Baby Doll nighties and skintight jeans throughout.<br />Doughy-faced Donahue never registers, but it was a relief to see him cast in something more fitting with how creepy I've always found him. <br />Thanks for all the background info on the players and for highlighting what has become a new favorite.Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-26490586773811134052015-04-17T12:24:40.841-04:002015-04-17T12:24:40.841-04:00Oh Poseidon I knew when I was watching this that i...Oh Poseidon I knew when I was watching this that it would be something to touch your hairdo loving heart, even if several of Jeannette's creations would be hairdon'ts in real life. And that hat!! Still she glams the movie up considerably though some of those wiglets must have weighed a ton when you take into account that a couple were the same size if not larger than her head.<br /><br />As far as the movie as a whole goes your right that Diane McBain would have given a better performance as Julie/Barbara but I think having Joey and her pout singles the movie out from the pack since it's the only one she did in this particular vein. Who knew they had bottle blondes in the 17th century!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-89608354878977072812015-04-17T08:16:03.878-04:002015-04-17T08:16:03.878-04:00Devil, despite the fact that several of his movies...Devil, despite the fact that several of his movies have been profiled here, I'm also not much of a Donahue fan either! I happen to like the era his films were made in, as well as some of his costars, so watching him is usually a by-product of that. But my tolerance for him has increased over the years, perhaps due to the polish of the movies he starred in.<br /><br />As for Joey, I enjoyed her in this (more than in "Where Love Has Gone!" I was so relieved that she didn't call Sullivan "Daddy" in this one...) Her sultry, pouty ways saved this from the cutesiness that would have come had Sandra Dee or Connie Stevens had her role. Diane McBain might have been the ideal person, though.<br /><br />Rico, I thought about mentioning "Lola Heatherton" and even "Troy McClure" (of "The Simpsons"), but didn't in the end. And, yes, Nolan, definitely sank her teeth (what? all four of them??) into the role of "Dirty Sally!" LOL<br /><br />Armando, believe it or not, even with the crazy styling, Nolan manages to come across very, very well. Not everyone could have acted effectively from underneath all that stuff! And I'm so sorry about "The Godfather" thing... too much going on at once and sloppy research. It's fixed now!

She made Liz' Alexandre of Paris look like a slacker! Hard to believe that Jeanette was the same gal who gleefully played "Dirty Sally!"<br /><br />And Joey, whose hair don'ts were only exceeded by her eye makeup! Whenever I think of her, I think of Catherine O'Hara's wicked SCTV spoof "Lola Heaterton!"<br /><br />Poseidon, I thought of you during this ridiculously wonderful movie and so happy you caught it!

Another recap! I live for these! I have this ...Yay! Another recap! I live for these! I have this movie on my DVD-R right now. I need to watch it already, but it's hard for me to get into anything starring Troy Donahue. I know loads of people think he's dreamy, but he always struck me as a big lump of bland, undercooked potatoes who was conventionally handsome, albeit in a boring and wholly predictable way. He seemed like a nice enough guy and I don't wish homelessness on anyone (ok, a few people!) but I think him being an absolute dullard is why his career really tanked.<br /><br />Love me some Joey though. I have her 1972 album AND her CD (she's nekkid on the cover!), both of which are pretty good. Girl had singing and dancing talent galore, but I think her poor acting skills along with that perpetual come hither she always had her mug did her in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
