"The term "cheesecake" is synonymous with pin-up photo. The earliest documented print usage of this sense of cheesecake is in 1934, predating pin-up, although anecdotes say the phrase was in spoken slang some 20 years earlier, originally in the phrase (said of a pretty woman) "better than cheesecake." In the 1950s, for example, there was a magazine called Cheesecake that had a young Marilyn Monroe in a yellow bikini on its cover in 1953."

You have made another superb choice, THIS really is one of the best. And let's all remember that the music score is written by the great, great Bernard Hermann.
I sincerely believe that Nancy Kovack was THE Goddess, of ALL Goddesses incarnate. My personal Channel is a mere lame Tribute to Divine She....if EVER there was An Amazon QUEEN, it is She. Nancy Kovack was curvaceous & voluptuous, Fine featured & EXQUISITE holistically, the NATURAL, & indeed 1000 out of 1000. Nancy was a gifted artist, & had a brain of the first order. Noble She was the very embodient of Class, BeautyPhenomenal, sensual Sexuality Divine; all up THE Woman of ALL 20thCenturyWomen
one of my earliest memories was of this movie.....especially this scene....shaped my life!

Is it just me or do portions of the music in this video sound remarkably similar to Piston Honda's theme from the video game Mike Tyson's Punch-out?

I'm guessing that Bernard Hermann was a big fan of that video game.
