Customer Reviews of Harlow
More of a "period piece" than an actual movie! Although the movie's setting is the 30's, the film is more a reflection of 60's moviemaking complete with Mannix himself Mike Conners, Fox contract player Red Buttons, and Peter Lawford of "Rat Pack" fame. Angela Lansbury who had previously played mothers to Laurence Harvey and Elvis Presley, respectively, finds herself in a similar position as mother to Carroll Baker's Harlow. Baker does a fair job as the doomed star, but does not exude the same sexual attraction that made Harlow the object of many men's desires. Overall, the movie holds the interest, but is, by no means, a classic.
It does feature a most interesting "pad" that belongs to Leslie Neilson, cast as a producer with a lecherous eye. This is the kind of place the Austin Powers would find a perfect place in which to "shag."
It has its moments, but...
...this is a movie based on a ficticious biography by one of Harlow's first agents and thus, an inaccurate depiction of Jean's life. If you want the real story on Jean Harlow , I suggest you find two recent biographies written about Harlow within the last 5-6 years; They dispell all the myths and get to the truth. A movie was to be made in 2000 based on one of these books, but it hasn't happened yet. So, in the meantime, enjoy this 1960's escapism movie for the outlandish sets, great wardrobe and lots of soap opera drama...but, don't take it seriously because of its inaccuracy. But I will say Carroll Baker, Peter Lawford, and Angela Lansbury do the best they can with what was given them.
"Mama,,,something is happening...."
I don't know why the critics were so hard on Caroll Baker in this life story of Jean Harlow. All the movies that i've ever seen that Jean Harlow made then watching the ultra talented Caroll Baker playing the part of Harlow to me was breathtaking.Caroll Baker in this movie is the most BEAUTIFUL women in the world and also my all time favorite movie actress. She has a unique acting style and this very beautiful speaking voice with a touch of an accent,,,,not sure if it's English, Scotish or what, but her speaking voice is just wonderful to the ears.As far as the story,,,yes it's a little Hollywood towards the end but it is a great tear-jerker one along with the beautiful music score thoughtout the entire film.I really believe that if you buy this you will be pleasently surprised and wonder why you never saw this before. Also if you enjoy Caroll Baker in "Harlow" check out Caroll Baker in the 1959 movie "The Miracle." You'll see a different hair color and you will also see my favorite movie of all times. If i could pass a law it would be that everyone would have to see "The Miracle" at least once and give it a good review. Sorry,,,just getting carried away.
