Review of Harlow

Harlow (I) (1965)
1/10
A complete work of fiction...
29 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is completely historically in accurate. A huge chunk of the plot revolves around Jean trying to get a break in the movie business but she is held back because of her high morals and does not want give it up on the casting couch. It portrays her as an innocent virgin, whereas she had already been married for two years before any of the movie stuff started. And there is a dreadful scene where she is supposedly beaten up by her first husband (who in reality is her second husband) who then commits suicide because he is supposed to be impotent (or I guess the innuendo is he was gay). Anyway she goes blathering on about waiting her whole life to give up her virginity to her one true love... but how can this be true, when it is her second marriage??? The whole thing is a banal fantasy and looks more like a bad play...
