Kiss Them From Me (1957 Stanley Donen)

scr Julius Epstein, play Luther Davis, novel 'Shore Leave' by Frederic Wakeman

Cary Grant, Jayne Mansfield, Suzy Parker (well-known fashion model), Ray Walston, Larry Blyden, Leif Erickson (ship builder)

Ph. by the always reliable Milton Krasner, in CinemaScope and De Luxe.

Not very funny, but has unexpected anti-war stings in its tail / tale, and is quite risqué for its time. Jayne not unnaturally gives her trademark squeal. C4 presentation looks very slightly stretched?

20th-Fox.
