Movie Reviews of Single Room Furnished
Movie Review: Jayne Mansfield's Last movie was an Art Film !
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching about 20 times (I have been a Jayne Mansfield fan since 1977),i have studied it enough to make the claim that this is (in my opinion) an Art-Film.
First of all it starts with great credits and music.The Walter Winchell introduction is just about as eery as Bela Lugosi's in Ed Wood's 'Glen Or Glenda'.The film is VERY obviously a puzzle pieced together,to make a movie(and a fast buck for her last husband,who did not have the courage to put his real name in the credits) that would have some sense,since Jayne had not finished her scenes.However,it is surprisingly coherent,even if the subplot with the 2 loser-lovers finding love ends up sounding preachy and moralistic,if compared to the mess Jayne's character has made of her life.It takes a couple of viewing of the movie to get over the cheap sets,the horrible wigs(mostly first AND second) Jayne wears.I find the first part when we see Jayne,very average.The second part,when she is in family way,REALLY bad (but also sad in a pathetic way),but the BEST is the last scene with the sailor.Miss Thing was bitter there,real bitter,and my little finger,and years of research,lead me to think that this was the REAL Jayne speaking there(that was 1966,a year before her death).She had it with Hollywood,the mockeries,the crappy movies she was offered,the bad jokes,the dead-beat husbands/lovers,and life in general.She knew she was doomed,finished,and it shows in her eyes as she is playing that last scene.AND THE BEST is when she open her eyes wide and says...''Love you ?? have watched that scene about 50 times,finding it so powerful,and fierce !.The cheapness of the sets make the film look like a play,which is good thing(All the scenes with Jayne,basically).Also as one reviewer stated the quality of this DVD is much better than the lower quality VHS that i also have watched.
Conclusion:Jayne was NEVER an actress,but a personality.She played herself in every movie she appeared,but this time she is fed up with the Battle to be the 'Super-Monroe' that she was groomed to be,and it is an appropriate ''LAST FILM''.
So to non-fans of Jayne,it is an awful movie,but to her loyal fans,it is almost an autobiographical statement of how she really felt at the end of her sad life.Very sad
