| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA no-nonsense biopic on the blonde bombshell of the 1930s, Jean Harlow. |
| New York TimesWalter GoodmanThe biography makes some interesting connections between the plots of some of her movies and the distressing events in her life, along with sappily up-to-date observations like "The only place she could feel empowered was in front of the camera." |
| User ReviewKelly HThis just isn't very good. A few film clips interrupted by period songs and Sharon Stone in various glamorous outfits give us the barest outline of Harlow's career. Any Hollywood film buff already knows her story, and there is not enough here to interest newcomers. Sharon Stone was obviously chosen to host because she was at the peak of her own career as the then-current "blonde bombshell", which did not necessarily make her a qualified narrator of Hollywood history. |
