The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968)
It’s the bittersweet end of an era! Art Deco cocktail lounge Fontaine’s (the jewel in Dalston’s nightlife crown) is closing forever end of July 2026. And for the FINAL Lobotomy Room cinema club at this beloved venue, we are closing things out in high style with sacred text The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield on Thursday 16 July!
Rated “X” upon its release in 1968, the ultra-trashy “faux” documentary Wild, Wild World chronicles the kinky globe-trotting misadventures of Hollywood sex kitten-gone-berserk Jayne Mansfield. Watch agog as camp icon Mansfield - the punk rock Marilyn Monroe, revered by John Waters and Divine (and the eternal patron saint of Lobotomy Room) - visits the hedonistic “sin spots” of the world, encompassing topless go-go clubs, gay bars, drag queen beauty pageants and nudist colonies, accompanied by her pet Chihuahua!
The low-budget Wild, Wild World was in production between 1964 and 1968. Bear in mind Mansfield died in 1967. Part of the fun is spotting how the producers cobbled scraps of footage together following Mansfield’s demise to complete the film. Watch for the (many) shots of a body double filmed from behind wearing Mansfield’s dishevelled blonde wig. And the sound-alike who delivered the voice-over narration (nailing Jayne’s breathless baby doll coo) deserved an Oscar!
Let’s make the night a celebration of all things Jayne! Come dragged up as Jayne Mansfield! Throw on a ratty blonde wig! Put a wiggle in that walk! Borrow a Chihuahua! Giggle, squeal and cavort! All while guzzling special offer £6 cocktails!
