Leo Genn stars as Johnny Solo, the owner of a seamy London nightclub battling a series of rivals in order to stay in business. Pinup superstar Jayne Mansfield costars as his girlfriend Midnight Franklin, a nightclub performer miraculously squeezed into a series of nearly-transparent, impossibly tight outfits. Steeped in the atmosphere of pre-Swinging Sixties London, Terence Young's neo-noir melodrama showcases Mansfield's bombshell eroticism and features a small supporting turn by nascent horror icon Christopher Lee.

This is the only Sheldon Lawrence video.

Customer Too Hot To Handle Reviews DVD




Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars A Must for Jayne Mansfield Fans
Jayne at her sexiest (more so than in "Kiss Them for Me"). She is in virtually every scene and not your typical dumb blonde; in fact she's quite intelligent in the film. Film quality is very good and the only real drawback is that it was filmed in black and white. If you are a Jayne Mansfield fan you will not be disappointed.

2 stars it should be in colour
A fantastic movie to be sure, a decent quality picture BUT in black and white. The opening credits says it is filmed in Eastmancolor. A 5 star movie in a 1 star presentation

Too Hot To Handle DVD Features



Sex-bomb Midnight Franklin is the star of the Pink Flamingo Club in London's wild Soho district. Midnight's lover, club-owner Johnny Solo, carefully hand-picks the exotic dancers from the scores of actresses, art students and young housewives that seek to join the well-paid Flamingo strippers. Johnny and the girls are not adverse to after-hours "deals" with the club's wealthy clientele. The cash is rolling in and life is good. So good, in fact, that a rival club owner wants a piece of the pie and is prepared to use violence to get it. But Johnny is not one to back down from a fight, setting off a downward spiral of events that will explode in betrayal and murder!

Playboy centerfold and 1957 Golden Globe winner Jayne Mansfield was Hollywood's quintessential blonde bombshell whose considerable acting abilities were always overshadowed by her spectacular figure. She co-starred in huge box-office hits such as The Girl Can't Help It (1956) and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957). Jayne was at the height of her success and popularity when her life was cut short in a car crash at age 34.

Even when Guy Clark was young, he sounded like an old man with a weathered voice, suggesting a life fraught with experience. It is fitting, then, that 30 years into his career he sounds as spry as he does on WORKBENCH SONGS--his 12th full-length--as time has found Clark just hitting his stride. The album's no-frills production does justice to his West Texas wordplay, and this song cycle, including ...

A Billy Joe Shaver album is always cause for celebration, but on this 2007, Grammy-nominated release, the outlaw country troubadour shines in a whole new way. Produced by John Carter Cash, the album features all country-gospel originals, half of them sung in duet with a laundry list of country greats, including the late Johnny Cash, old partner in crime Kris Kristofferson, and Tanya Tucker. Although the Christian-themed lyrics are utterly sincere, fans needn't worry that Shaver has gone soft on them. The music crackles with country-rocking, honky-tonking fire. Personnel: Jamie Hartford, Pat McLaughlin, Randy Scruggs (acoustic ...

Too Hot To Handle video
DVD $20.15  Top 500
Pete Seeger is a revered singer and performer, an ambassador of the world's folk music traditions, and a patriot, but whenever Jim Brown's very moving documentary verges too close to hagiography, interviews with the gently self-effacing subject himself steer the focus back onto the issues and the music. Using a rich array of archival film footage, photography, and intimate one-on-one conversations, Brown tells the story of the singer's life, from his roustabout childhood as the son of itinerant musicians, through his radical days on the Harvard University campus (where, during WWII he received his political awakening), his military service, and marriage to lifetime love Toshi Seeger. The documentary spends a lot of time covering his early career with the Weavers singing group, who were blacklisted from television and live appearances and lost their record contract for holding leftist political views at the height of the McCarthy era. Clips of Seeger testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee, humbly standing by his First Amendment rights in response to their questions about his politics, and pointing out the Un-American nature of such an invasion of privacy, is required viewing for any conscious citizen. ...
