SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED was Jayne Mansfield's first starring role in a few years and her last starring role ever. She mad e a few more film appearances after this but not in the lead roles. The director here--oddly NOT credited on the poster at all--was her then husband Matt Cimber. Although no longer the icon she once was and miscast as a teenager, Jayne offers up a good performance covering a wide range of emotions. The film was made and briefly released in '66 but shelved until after her death the following year and released widely only in 1968.
Is writer/producer Michael Musto the Village Voice columnist, or a different person?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Jayne had left Mickey Hargitay and married for a third time.
Has to be a different person as the VOICE columnist would apparently have been 9 years old.
