The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968)
Look out world, it's Jayne's planet and she's on the prowl in this mondo-style celebration of all things Mansfield and, hands down, The Single Most Inane (and Insane) Documentary Ever Made! With footage of Jayne shot circa 1964, augmented with scenes from Promises, Promises, padded out with such hilariously faked non-Jayne footage as goofy gays on the streets of Paris and the L.A. "topless craze!" and capped off with a ghoulish ending so colossally wrong that it can still make audiences gasp, this combination travelogue / cinematic acid trip is so loony tunes that it's practically legendary.
Other mind-melting moments include a "highly illegal" Transvestite Beauty Contest in New York, photos of Jayne from the issue of Playboy "everyone was talking about," clips from The Loves of Hercules and Primitive Love!
