great-value collection of Joanie's best movies
The Joan Collins Collection bundles together five of the better movies that Joan Collins starred in, from her early days as a contract player with Twentieth Century Fox. Each film is handsomley packed in it's own "slim case" with lobbycard reproductions and bonus collector's booklet.
THE GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING (1955). In a role originally meant for Marilyn Monroe, Joan Collins shines as Evelyn Nesbit, the young showgirl who became attached to the scandalous Thaw/White murder trial. Co-starring Farley Granger and Ray Milland.
RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG BOYS! (1958). Once again, Joan fills a role that was originally intended for another resident studio bombshell, Jayne Mansfield. This briskly-paced romantic comedy stars Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman as a feuding married couple with Collins as the sexpot neighbour.

HIGHLY ENTERTAINING FILM BUT SPOIL SPORT REVIEWER
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REVIEWER WILLIAM HARE WAS THINKING WHILE WRITING HIS REVIEW. HE HAS REVEALED ALMOST ALL THE PLOT TWISTS OF THIS GEM OF A FILM IN HIS REVIEW.
I DO HOPE PEOPLE USE SOME RESTRAINT OR POST A SPOILER WARNING IN CASE THEY ARE REVEALING SENSITIVE PORTIONS OF A FILM THEY ARE WRITING ABOUT.
MR. HARE, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE TO REVIEW A FILM WITHOUT RESORTING TO EMOTIONALLY CHARGED REVELATIONS. SHAME ON YOU!!!
BY THE WAY I LOVE THE FILM AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. HEY... IT'S GOT EDWARD G.ROBINSON.. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!!!
