Single Room Furnished is a film with pretensions to art that was supposed to
establish Jayne Mansfield. The screenplay was written by her second husband
Matt Cimber and in it Jayne plays three different characters. The rest of the
cast is folks you never heard of.
Put it simply Alec Guinness, Jayne ain't. She didn't have the acting chops for this kind of item. It's just plain ludicrous.
Let Mansfield be better remembered for Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter or The Sheriff Of Fractured Jaw.
Ironic also that Walter Winchell taped a post mortem introduction to this film saying this was Jayne's great acting triumph. Was he watching what I was watching. By 1966 Winchell was looking everywhere for some attention, he was past his prime as an entertainment influence.
Jayne's fans should skip this.
