Mansfield 66/67 (2017)
The tagline of this thoroughly entertaining documentary about 50s/60s sex-bomb Jayne Mansfield announces it's intent "A true story based on rumour and hearsay". It's centered on her "relationship" with Anton LaVey (Head of the Church of Satan) leading up to her death in a car crash. To tell her story the doc uses a dizzying collage of salacious newspaper articles, Hanna-Barbera-style animation, musical sequences, footage from Mansfield's films, recreations employing toy cars and an experimental dance troupe. There are also interviews with Directors Kenneth Anger and John Waters and who knew Arnold Schwarzenegger's last role before hitting pay-dirt with 'Conan the Barbarian' was starring in a film about Mansfield's life. It's perhaps inevitable that a life this crazy and camp intersects in several places with the world of US private big cat ownership, including Tippi Hedren's infamous movie 'Roar'.
The Schwarzenegger film is on youtube in pretty decent quality, I might give it a go for a giggle:
