What Was On TV Last Night
| Barbarella (1968) Trailer falling down a tube | Essence of Man Death by Parakeets Pretty Pretty |
American Movie Classics played "Barbarella" on Friday night. The script is actually pretty dreadful, but the film makes up for this in ultra-campy trippiness! The sets, costumes, art direction and groovilicious go go boots are out of this world!
According to the film's trailer, "Barbarella is a five-star double rated astronautical aviatrix whose specialty is... Love. Her top secret is mission is a real wing dinger. See Barbarella do her thing!"

And remember, Barbarella is French!

What a great film. I adore young Jane Fonda.
Mmmm. Jane Fonda. You didn't link the scene where she single-handedly overloads the orgasm machine.
My daughter just borrowed Barbarella from her aunt and uncle and I must admit she is way cooler than me. ("I've never seen it...," I whisper. sshhhh. I shall report back after I am a proper human.
The ultimate kitsch classic!
Dig the "special" effects!
Jane Fonda in Barbarella the combination that launched a thousand adolescent fantasies.
Well, just for me.
I imagine some others might have been thinking some about her in that movie too.
Dr. Monkerstein: THere is one thing better than Jane Fonda in a movie - Jane Fonda in a movie wearing go go boots!
Dean Wormer: Yes, I didn't want to give away the plot of the whole movie!
Freida Bee: You shall be pleasantly surpised, I believe. I am sure that you will enjoy it.
Westcoast Walker: The kitchiest!
Comrade Kevin: The special effects were deliciously awful. THe sets and costumes were amazing!
MWB's World: Jane Fonda in Barbarella launched a thousand adolescent fantasies in my fertile imagination, that's for sure!
Hey!
Funny coincidence. I'm glad I got to see it on tape, because I'll bet they edited out Jane Fonda's nipples for television.
It was on American Movie Classics, so it was unedited and commercial free!
