barbarella opening titles

Opening titles of the movie Barbarella, with Jane Fonda, by Roger Vadim (1968).
The opening sequence, credited to Arcady and the great Maurice Binder, features an unrestrained intergalactic planetary aviatrix Jane Fonda peeling off her space suit in the kind of weightlessness that has the viewer seeing past the errant reflection. Text spills from the head, chaotically at first, then coalesces in credit, and finally plays the coy cover up.

there's something extra special about finding nipples on YouTube.

I wrote to Jane on her website on how this was filmed and she replied. She was lying on a thick plate of glass filmed from above. She rolled around and the plate was turned by the crew to show movement. Fans were blowing to move her hair and spacesuit pieces.

I just saw her this April at Turner Classic Movies' Classic Film Festival at her hand/foot print ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. She looks absolutely FANTASTIC!!

Interestingly, "The Silencers", filmed several years before, opens with striptease routines in which the women use credits to cover strategic places. I never realized that till I saw the Matt Helm film on TCM last night. I recall, when in my late teens, male classmates failed to get into the theater to see this film. They really did restrict who got in. Nowadays, this is very tame but obviously still is very much of interest to males of all ages. Jane is 75 now and looks fantastic!
