Jane Fonda BARBARELLA 1968


Barbarella is Pop-Art in the purest sense.The lovely Jane Fonda plays Barbarella in a big, campy adaptation of a French comic strip. Jane Fonda is at her sexiest, and then-hubby Roger Vadim likes to show her assets off. Those who have only seen Serious Jane, Aerobics Jane, Mrs. Turner Jane, or Hanoi Jane, are really missing out. Fonda had quite a talent for comedy. "Make no mistake, this is a dire film. Fun costumes, but no plot to speak of, minimal dialogue, extras who clearly have no idea what they're supposed to be doing, and shoddy editing to top it all off. And yet I found myself enjoying it. Why?"...Jane Fonda.
