Kiss Them For Me (1957)


KISS THEM FOR ME  (1957)

    D: Stanley Donen
    Cary Grant, Suzy Parker, Jayne Mansfield,
    Ray Walston, Larry Blyden, Leif Ericson
A frantic service comedy and minor Cary Grant vehicle about three Navy pilots trying to enjoy a booze-filled shore leave in San Francisco. This might be the only role Grant ever played for which Tony Curtis would've been better cast. The story's set in 1944, but the look is straight out of the 1950s, and that definitely includes Mariska Hargitay's mother, Jayne Mansfield, a platinum bombshell whose epic curves are her best and only asset.
