Female Jungle (The Hangover) (1955, Unrated)
Jayne Mansfield made her screen debut as a sexy siren in 1955's "The Female Jungle." Although Jayne's screen time is limited, the plot of the film kept me interested. Overall, I enjoyed watching this movie. |

The Girl Can't Help It (1956, Unrated)
"The Girl Can't Help It" is a rock and roll classic starring Jayne Mansfield and Tom Ewell (of "The 7 Year Itch" fame). Jayne made this movie soon after signing a long-term contract with 20th Century Fox in 1956, and it definitely a hallmark of her film career. "TGCHI" is essential viewing for any Jayne Mansfield fan! |

The Burglar (1957, Unrated)
Jayne Mansfield plays a feature role in 1957's "The Burglar." The film has an interesting premise, but I thought the plot dragged at a few points. Let's just say It definitely has its share of slow moments. Not my favorite Mansfield film, but not a bad one either. |

Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957, Unrated)
"Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" is a witty, entertaining comedy starring Tony Randall and Jayne Mansfield in the role that made her famous. Mansfield is simply "divoon" as the quintessential blonde bombshell, Rita Marlowe. This film is a good place to start for new fans of Jayne Mansfield. |

Kiss Them for Me (1957, Unrated)
The plot is pretty bland and slow moving at times. Jayne Mansfield looks stunning, but this role certainly wasn't the best vehicle to further her career. (And quite honestly, if she didn't appear in the film then I probably would not have sat through it.) Definitely not Cary Grant's best either. |

Gli Amori di Ercole (Hercules vs. the Hydra) (The Loves of Hercules) (1960, PG)
An extremely campy flick starring Jayne Mansfield and her husband at the time Mickey Hargitay. Absolutely hilarious! |
|
| 13 |
The George Raft Story (Spin of a Coin) (1961, Unrated)
This is a fairly entertaining biopic. Jayne Mansfield steals the show in her role as a glamorous starlet based on Betty Grable. My only complaint is that she deserved more screen time! |

It Happened in Athens (1962, Unrated)
Review coming soon. |

Promises! Promises! (1963, Unrated)
"Promises! Promises!" is best known for Jayne Mansfield's infamous topless scenes. Although Mansfield has been widely criticized for doing this film, I think it's a cute and entertaining comedy. (Personally, it's one of my favorite Jayne Mansfield movies.) Definitely one worth seeing! |

L' Amore Primitivo (Primitive Love) (1964, Unrated)
This is worth seeing for one reason alone - Jayne Mansfield! She does an incredibly sexy striptease at the end of the film! The rest of the movie consists of National Geographic style footage and the antics of two annoying, not funny Italian comedians. I sat through this movie once, but now I just fast forward to Jayne's scenes. |

Panic Button (1964, Unrated)
"Panic Button" is a cute, campy Italian comedy with a plot similar to "The Producers". Overall, a light hearted and enjoyable watch! |
|

Dog Eat Dog (When Strangers Meet) (1964, Unrated)
A very campy, but entertaining film. The opening scene with Jayne Mansfield is classic. |
|

The Las Vegas Hillbillys (Country Music, U.S.A.) (1966, Unrated)
I'm not much of a country music fan, but this movie is worth seeing for two reasons: Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren! Jayne's musical number is classic! A very campy flick! |
|

A Guide for the Married Man (1967, PG)
This is worth seeing for the Jayne Mansfield cameo which was her last on screen appearance. |
|
| 22 |
Single Room Furnished (1968, Unrated)
Jayne Mansfield's at her dramatic best. Sadly, this was also her last film appearance. If you don't believe that she could act, then watch this movie! "Single Room Furnished" is proof that Jayne Mansfield was much more than just a sexy blonde bombshell. |

The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968, Unrated)
Review coming soon. |
