Since then, the lady has been going to hell at regular intervals-in 1929 with Ruth Chatterton, in 1937 with Gladys George. It was probably inevitable that Lana Turner and Producer Ross Hunter would want to take her out of mothballs just once more.

...them they revealed has varied vastly with the times. In the forgotten '20s, bosoms were sometimes bared in flickering film orgies; in the '30s, Norma Shearer in the sheerest of slips was enough to make temperatures simmer. World War II G.I.s strained at the sight of Lana Turner in a sweater. Then came Marilyn Monroe's enamel-textured calendar shot and Brigitte Bardict's nudity-with-towel, and most barriers were down...
