The Sex Symbol (1974 TV Movie)
10/10
All ten stars for camp value

This was bad. I mean bad writing, bad clothes, bad hair, bad bras and bad acting.

The script is so bad it could have been written in an afternoon. It is so lazy. It is half exposition.

The acting is equally horrid. I understand Connie Stevens has a certain appeal to some people, but as an American sweetheart, not a dramatic actress. In this she tries way too hard. It is all over acting in between baby talk.

The film takes place in 1957 and is supposed to mirror Monroe's life. The clothes and hair are pure 1974. I had no idea bras were so bad back then or am I just too accustomed to fake bewbs?

The one bright spot is Shelly Winters as a vicious gossip columnist. Even though she phones it in, she's fun.

This flick comes and goes on YouTube.
