The legend not the truth

 

Harlow (1965)


Directed by Gordon Douglas this film based on real events stars Carroll Baker, Red Buttons, Raf Vallone and Angela Lansbury. We follow the career of film star Jean Harlow.


Unfortunately this film appears to be more interested in selling the legend of Jean Harlow than the truth of her life. The film has an impressive cast but not much beyond that. Somewhat of a disappointment both now and at the time of release.


2/5
