Movie Review: Diamonds Dielli: "That's a very nice dress you nearly got on. I like it."
Summary: 4 Stars
ALPHA VIDEO is a provider of vintage programming that's often unavailable elsewhere. Alpha's prices are fair, but so is transfer quality of some of their offerings. None have undergone restoration, yet this product's rareness and reasonable cost make it a worthwhile purchase.
TOO HOT TO HANDLE is the story of a London nightclub owner who fights back when a local mobster leans on him for protection money. Here, Jayne Mansfield skillfully manages a deadly serious role (perhaps her very best work) and proves there was more to her than that "dumb blonde" image. For anyone interested in scenes of burlesque-type stripping, "Too Hot" is certain to please. (This film was originally in Eastmancolor but as of 9/09 was only available in b&w on DVD.)
SYNOPSIS--
Johnny Solo (Genn) won't be intimidated by Diamonds Dielli (Lawrence), nor will he listen to the advice of his exotic dancer girlfriend, headliner Midnight Franklin (Mansfield), who wants Johnny to quit the strip club business entirely in order to protect his own life.
NOTE: Watch for a pawnbroker cameo by Ian Fleming (not the author), who in SILVER BLAZE (1937) portrayed Dr. Watson opposite Arthur Wontner's Sherlock Holmes.
