jimmy b Not as good as Baker's previous sexbomb flick, "The Carpetbaggers." Just about the same story line though. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Totally inaccurate, badly acted, badly scripted, campy, salacious & trashy. And those are it's good points. Avoid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review steve d Frustratingly shallow. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't quite understand why this movie based on the life of Jean Harlow, starring Carroll Baker, Martin Balsam, & Angela Lansbury should be in this "Camp Harlow?" I was hooked on this movie simply named "Harlow" in 1965, at the age of 12 because it fascinated me! It still does, sure it's not factual, but it at least comes close to bringing to life the story of a tragic young actress (Jean Harlow). The actual names involved were changed , as well as Harlow's movies or the studio would be sued! I also wonder why the poster of the other Harlow movie that was put out 2 months later (or before?!) is the centerpiece here? Anyway in the final analysis "Harlow with Carroll Baker is rated by top notch critics as "Good Viewing, and entertaining with 2.5 - 3 stars! I love it, hope you will as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was so bad and it was inaccurate! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The "Movie Info" for this movie is totally incorrect. This movie is about Jean Harlow, not a girl and a horse.
