The Velvet Touch

I just watched a 1948 movie called "The Velvet Touch" starring Rosalind Russell. First of all I adore Rosalind Russell even if she was just reading the dictionary outloud. Secondly this movie has it all; there's camp, over acting, humor, great double entendre, and smashing couture. The plot line is that Rosalind's character has accidentally killed a man but another woman get's blamed. I also did a google search on Rosalind Russell and found a quote attributed to her that I love. "Taking joy in life is a woman's best cosmetic."

hst: Thanks! Also, after talking to Nympho on the phone she explained to me that she meant she was SUPER JOYFUL because the lunch ladies always wore a pound of make-up (referring to the word "cosmetics" in the quote from Rosalind").
