...ankles. The 50-man long boats are racing past mist-wreathed rain-forest mountains, and the muddy park is taken over by cricket. But not the game of white-flannel elegance as it is played at the Marylebone Cricket Club in London. Oh, no! This is tropical, Technicolor kirikiti -- buxom girls in lemon yellow shirts and sky blue skirts thwacking around a homemade rubber ball with a three-sided bat, while supporters rhythmically chant and dance and beat vigorously on biscuit tins...

...frank, what this movie really needed was something to perk up the interest level without taxing the already overstrained imaginations of the people making it--namely, sex. A few steamy grope scenes with some buxom female mental patients and a lesbian nurse, perhaps, or maybe an on-air radio orgy, would add a level of interest to the film without really impinging at all on the level of asininity, which is already red-lined anyway.

His intention is to fuse the breath of life into the lost casualties of Hollywood...

...Bette uses her body as an inexhaustible source of sight gags. She shimmies it, twists it, upends it to reveal polka-dot bloomers. In 1978 at the London Palladium she flashed the front of it; at Harvard she exposed the rear. She has made a cottage industry of her buxom bosom. In the 1985 album Mud Will Be Flung Tonight, she confesses that she once consulted a postage scale to determine just how heavy her breasts were, and "I won't tell you how much they weigh, but it cost $87.50 to send 'em to Brazil.
