Women He's Undressed | Ratings & Reviews

"Worth it for the bit when Jane Fonda declares her desire to motorboat Marilyn Monroe’s bedazzled bosom alone, director Gillian Armstrong’s homage to the life of her compatriot Orry-Kelly (real name Orry George Kelly) is full of juicy surprises and exquisite style. Kelly went from small town Australia to Hollywood via New York, becoming one of the most successful costume designers of cinema’s Golden Age. Using Kelly’s recently uncovered memoir as a source, there’s a hint of gossip mag-style glee to Women He’s Undressed – particularly the bits about Kelly’s former boyfriend, one Archie Leach who later became better known as Cary Grant."
