Slips in the Movies Reviews

Kiss Me Stupid, featuring Kim Novak and Felicia Farr

In this Billy Wilder farce, skirt-chasin' Dino (Dean Martin), a singer, is waylaid in a small Nevada town where he meets two ambitious wanna-be songwriters, Orville and Barney (Ray Walston and Cliff Osmond). Wanting Dino to hear his music but aware of his reputation with women, Orville hides his wife, Zelda (Felicia Farr), from Dino and hires a prostitute (Kim Novak) to keep him busy. But somehow, Zelda and Dino meet -- much to Orville's chagrin!

I cropped these screen captures to make them more amenable to display on a web page.

	Kim Novak wearing a slip Watching Kim Novak in this film leaves me with lttle doubt about what brought on the women's movement. Here's a beautiful and intelligent actor who gets to play a bimbo because that was the role available to her in those days.
	Dino, the Cad In this scene, Dean Martin is reaching around to get a piece of Kim Novak. Wait a minute, isn't he reaching for her slip? Naughty boy!
	Your slip is showing. I felt embarrased watching this scene. Here Kim gets up to escape Dino's grasp, only to circle the room and sit beside him again. She is being paid to be there, but Aye!
	Cute or Cops? So now he gets his mitts on her, and she can't escape. In today's world, a man could be accused of date rape. Back then, this scene was cutesy.
	More Slip! Here we get to see more of Kim's slip. In the 1950's, this was sexy and wearing a slip in a movie scene had a hot, sultry feel. For some of us, it still does!
	Sottoveste, che passione! Dean can't help himself and begins playing with her nylon stocking covered knee. Later in the film, Dean drinks from her high heel shoe. I love Italian passion!
	Now You've Done it! Now drunk Dean is getting sloppy. We do get to see more slip, but I'd rather be given to willingly. This could be why Gloria Steinem said "Women need men like fish need a bicycle."
	OK, now we know what you really wanted! Dean just can't keep his hands off her white half slip and nylon stockings, can he? Kim, thanks for putting up with him!
	Felicia Farr "Kiss Me Stupid" actually had two slip wearing beauties in the film. Here, Felicia Farr wears a half slip and pointy push up bra. Ah, those were the days, so wonderfully kinky!

	The Delightful Derriere Seeing the outline of a beautiful bottom against the flowing lines of a slip leave me feeling dreamy. Where are you, my love?
