1956: The Opposite Sex 

JOAN COLLINS as "Crystal"

While knowing the wife of a man is watching her...

Vixen Crystal struts her sexy stuff...

This is the first role that established for U.S. audiences that JC was a Bitch to be reckoned-with... In a movie chock-full of femmes, JC stands out as the conniving, heartless, man-eating, avaricious, slutty bad girl stealing away a "family man" from the sweet/innocent June Allyson...

 

Speaking of June, who just does not belong in this picture?

-

Yep, June on the far left... Joan Collins, Dolores Gray and Ann Miller are just too much of Womanhood for Plain June to measure against... Of course, it's the corny conceit of the movie that the husband, Bland Leslie Neilsen, choose June over Joan...

Dolores Gray has a number of wonderful costume changes...

As she cattily manipulates the feuds and passions...

Ann Miller has enough of Grande Dame Dolores, and she goes after her in their own cat-fight...

One musical number has Dick Shawn complaining to his psychiatrist (Jim Backus!) that he constantly has beautiful women on his mind...

One of the beauties is Carolyn Jones...
