Abbey Bender Little White Lies A fun if slight look at one of the greatest stars of the 1950s. Rated: 3/5 May 11, 2018 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The low-rent assemblage of onscreen "experts" doesn't exactly help either. Rated: 2/5 May 10, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A missed opportunity. Rated: 2/5 May 9, 2018 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Mansfield 66/67 is a must-watch for any self-respecting film buff; a love letter to the trashy B-movies of the 1960s that envelopes an intriguing tale of a unique woman surrounded by satanism Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective As it stands, Mansfield 66/67 is frequently wrongheaded and nailing its colours to the mast in terms of a devotion to hearsay doesn't mean it can do anything and go anywhere.

Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 24 minutes with real footage and interviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I went with 2 stars for this movie/docu. I thought that it was interesting and explained a lot about Jayne and about her life etc... It was kinda nice to see other celebrity's input about her and her life etc... it passed the time I only seen it once. Idk if I would watch it again though. The little parts of the random people singing and dancing "being Jayne" was random and odd 2 stars. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member "Jayne Mansfield was a Hollywood starlet born under the blinding light of the fifties, and shadowed by the sex-positivity of the swinging sixties. In either a desperate plea to the underworld, or a rather calculated publicity stunt - Jayne soon found herself knocking on the door of the devil himself, in Church of Satan Founder Anton LaVey. Opening with bold, hot pink lettering, Mansfield 66/67 warns us that the film we are about to watch conveys 'opinions expressed that are not approved or endorsed'. But, we were well aware we'd be digging through rumours - the film's tagline is "a true story based on rumor and hearsay". Is there anything more delectable than a Blonde Bombshell making deals with the devil? Bring on the Gossip! A strange story begs for an even stranger retelling in Mansfield 66/67. The film is a bit of a hodge-podge of classic documentary interviews and archival materials, spliced with experimental dance numbers, performance art and cartoon animation. Though mixed-media the content, the subject is all Jane. With it's eclectic voice, there is no doubt or question that Mansfield 66/67 successfully celebrates the life and controversy of a quirky Hollywood idol." Full review at nofspodcast.com/jayne-mansfield-doc-mansfield-6667-kooky-look-campy-starlet/ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The WORST movie I've ever seen in a theater. It was an ooooooover indulgent edit, and by edit, I mean every archival clip of Jayne Mansfield in existence--thrown together without even a shred of a storyline! They thought that adding a bunch of weird people brightly lit in nighties dancing in patterns would tie it all together. I wanted to pull my entire finger nails off. I cannot believe they managed to get John Waters for this--nor can I believe he would agree to be lit so...angelically (and just BAD). An iphone and some home depot lights would be better in skilled hands. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Campy and fun to start, it became muddled and spent much time in the end on the Anton Levay angle and was she cursed by the Church of Satan? I will say seeing cult stars like Dolly Read and Susan Bernard now was fun. I never could quite figure out what it was trying to say beyond that except maybe youthful beauty dies.
