Clara Bow had "It."Theda Bara was a vamp.And Marilyn Monroe was the girl-next-door as innocent seductress.All three and many more are represented in THE LOVE GODDESSES, the breezily paced yet serious look at the image and substance of the big-screen sex goddess.Compiled by Oscar-winning producer-director Saul J. Turell and Graeme Ferguson, THE LOVE GODDESSES was a groundbreaking work, spanning 60 years of screen seduction and sex appeal and the evolution of the public's taste in both of those areas.There are surprises here amid the likes of Jean Harlow, Mae West, and Rita Hayworth - how many people remember that before Ginger Rogers emerged as an on-screen partner to Fred Astaire, she played in a series of flirtatious roles in comedies where she didn't dance a step?Or thinkof Claudette Colbert, in the wake of her work in dignified, maternal parts, as the last of the big-screen vamps?It's all here, told in a witty yet informative manner, a best-of 60 years of the movies' most beautiful women.
