Sally Forrest's skimpy outfit must surely have been sailing perilously close to the censorship wind, but doesn't she look utterly yummy in it?. With the likes of Mari Blamchard & former stripper Lili St. Cyr in it & a whole host of others, "Son Of Sinbad" is one of the best girlie-watching films ever made.
You'd have to look VERY hard for Kim, 'Shavkatlaw', among all these women. As for your mother, 'Priusguy', I believe she was basically "window dressing" among the 40 or more women featured in the film. Did she go on tour with some of the others to promote the film in different cities? I believe that was one of the publicity ideas Hughes thought up...
Howard Hughes and Cecil B. DeMille were both showmen (and businessmen). The only difference was, in this kind of film, "C.B" was always trying to preach to his audiences about freedom, morality and the "wages of sin" inbetween his tableau of eroticism and "sexual encounters"; Howard knew what male audiences WANTED to see: sex, sex and MORE sex, without any overt "messages". Yet, Hughes literally drove RKO-Radio into the ground...while this was filmed, he sold the studio to General Tire.
Kick ass strip tease dance! But uh, I really think this is what put a bad edge on it for us belly dancers. I can't believe this was made in the fifties...
This was a Howard Hughes production (which explains the erotic overtones). Though a dancer, Sally Forrest starred in a lot of film noir non-dance films by great directors (Ida Lupino's Not Wanted, Otto Preminger's Whirlpool, John Sturges' Mystery Street, Fritz Lang's When The City Sleeps) but her unique dance style is shown in this film and in the Mickey Rooney film The Strip (the one where he plays a drummer) and the Red Skelton comedy Excuse My Dust.
WOW love her outfit! I hired one like hers once for a fancy dress, i dont know how she danced with those ropes hanging down, i couldnt even walk without mine getting in the bloody way and in between my legs.lol...maybe mine were a little longer.lol

Good to know that ancient Arabia had spike heel for the shoes of their dancers
