Carroll Baker’s Role as Jean Harlow in the 1965 Biopic and Its Cinematic Impact
Carroll Baker's portrayal of Jean Harlow in the 1965 Paramount biopic 'Harlow' showcased her glamour and screen presence, though the film was widely criticized for historical inaccuracies. Originally, Marilyn Monroe was intended for the lead role, but after her death, producer Joseph E. Levine acquired the rights to Irving Shulman's controversial biography for $100,000. Baker, fresh from her Harlow-inspired performance in 'The Carpetbaggers,' became the natural choice after a tense contract dispute with Columbia Pictures, ultimately resolved with a lavish platinum and diamond necklace from Levine. The production faced further challenges, including competition from a low-budget rival film starring Carol Lynley released shortly before Paramount’s version. Despite its melodramatic script, the film received praise for its visual and costume design, particularly from Edith Head, who reinterpreted Harlow's 1930s style to suit 1965 cinematic aesthetics. Baker’s performance captured both vulnerability and the bold persona Harlow was known for, depicting her rise under a Hughes-like mogul, her management by agent Arthur Landau, and her tragic marriage to producer Paul Bern. While it did not achieve major box-office success, the film remains notable for its costume craftsmanship, launch of the jazz standard 'Girl Talk,' and its status as a cultural artifact of 1960s Hollywood.

Carroll Baker stars in Umberto Lenzi's 1969 proto-giallo Orgasmo. Baker is a rich widow who gets mixed up with a much younger brother and sister. Baker thinks she's in control. She isn't. Very stylish, lots of unhealthy eroticism and decadence.

The Killer Is One of Thirteen (1973) is a Spanish giallo or rather proto-giallo, these films being stylish decadent erotic thrillers rather than gorefests. Sadly this one has the decadence but it's slow, very unsexy and not stylish enough.
