[on making
Babes in Bagdad (1952) in Spain] . . . the girls they had gotten together for him [director
Edgar G. Ulmer] were supposed to be harem girls, beautiful girls--and they WERE. But most of them had hair on their chests! And long hair under their arms and all over their legs. And they were infuriated when Edgar made them shave! They thought they'd lost all their sex appeal--back then, men LIKED the hairy girls over there!
