1954: Yankee Pasha
RHONDA FLEMING
as "Roxana"
Rhonda Fleming inherently
seemed like a nice lady, but had such a fulsomely voluptuous physique that
producers felt compelled to try to turn her into some kind of a big-breasted bitch, casting her as
Virago not un-like Maureen O'Hara in a
few costumers during the 50s... She rarely achieved a convincing portrayal, but
it is worth watching her try in whatever costume she's packed into...
This film's vision of Arabian FEmininity is that all WOmen have big chests... Probably not historically accurate, but a tolerable error seen through the 1950s prism of Breast Fetishism...
Mamie Van Doren, totally believable as a Blonde Arab Harem Girl...
