Diamonds to Dust A film about Legend Jayne Mansfield

What can I say? The film claims to be about JM's life in the 1960s, but the main photo used in ads is a reenactment of one taken in the 1950s, one which Sophia Loren herself didn't care for. In one scene, if you make it that far, has a John Lennon drawing on the wall which would not be made for 1-2 years after JM died. It really does look, as someone else commented, as if the scenes were shot in the same garage with different curtains etc to make different rooms. There is not one likeable character here, but many people JM ran with in the mid 60s were bad apples anyway. One gets the impression that the "actors" were hired as favors and not because of ability or resemblance, and that the whole thing is an ego project. Watch with friends for a laugh-fest. One star because it's really ghastly, another star because it's perfect for an MST3K style treatment. Kidding aside. We don't think Jayne would care for this parody of her.

This doesn't deserve a review, it shouldn't even be listed here.

I've seen more interesting "movies" made by junior high kids using a cellphone.

A bunch of people who couldn't break into community theater spewing improvised nonsense peppered with a random old and long debunked box of rumors and myths.

Junk.

This is a very observant and honest look at one of Hollywood's biggest bombshells. It is also a very interesting Biopic. One in which you see the parallels with Hollywood's premier bombshell: Marylin Monroe(life spiraling out of controls, the pill popping, a tragic short life, etc...). It was amazing to me how the filmmakers were able to create such a period film with all the props, locations, cars and wardrobe in spite of all the budget limitations and constrains of an indie film. I didn't know how interesting - and sometimes disturbing - Jayne Mansfield's life story was, but now that I've seen this film I can honestly say that her life story was worthy of a Movie. Hailey Heisick as Jayne Mansfield is terrific! Highly recommend this film!

This independent low budget film is an interesting and touching tells of Jayne Mansfield's life, the voluptuous bombshell that tragically died too young. It shows the typical cope mechanism of some Hollywood stars of that era; alcoholism, pill taking, drugs and extra-marital affairs to alleviate the pressures of packed work schedule to make a living for the entire family. Very creative and entertaining. I enjoyed it very much.

Great period details and sense of place, and the film is so much fun. Jayne Mansfield was probably my least favourite of the "Blonde Bombshells", but this film really brings her alive and made me re-think my opinion of her. Jayne Mansfield fans will definitely enjoy this one.
