Propaganda

Joan Greenwood (The Importance of Being Earnest, Tom Jones, The Water Babies)— It's her voice above all that is the sexiest thing about her. Yes she was lovely to look at, but the voice .... rich, plummy, but with a crackle in it which dripped sex. Quite possibly she was one of my sexual awakenings without even realising. In the course of my research, I found out she dubbed Anita Pallenberg in Barbarella too. Which I've not seen, but now must rush off to do so.

Anita Ekberg (War and Peace, La Dolce Vita)— I'm going to be frank with you. Every time I look at this woman, I lose my ability to form sentences.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Joan Greenwood:

Look, I'm not going to try to argue that she's prettier than Ava Gardner, but her voice! She's so cool, so haughty, so funny! Best known for British movies [editor’s note: what kind of propaganda is this?! Defend your maiden! "not as pretty as—" NONSENSE. fight for your beauteous hot lady.]

Anita Ekberg:

“I haven't seen much starring her (YET) but the scene of her in the Fontana di Trevi in La Dolce Vita is some of the most jealous I've ever been of Marcello Mastroianni maybe and that's saying a lot. Cinema history. Historical.”

Dennis Price and Joan Greenwood in Kind Hearts and Coronets (Robert Hamer, 1949)

Cast: Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood, Alec Guinness, Audrey Fildes, Miles Malleson, Clive Morton, John Penrose, Hugh Griffith. Screenplay: Robert Hamer, John Dighton, based on a novel by Roy Horniman. Cinematography: Douglas Slocombe. Art direction: William Kellner. Film editing: Peter Tanner. Costume design: Anthony Mendleson. Music: Ernest Irving.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is best known for Alec Guinness's tour de force as the entire D'Ascoyne family, but that's hardly the greatest of pleasures the film affords. Dennis Price's performance as the suavely lethal Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini is as much a demonstration of how to act sophisticated comedy as one could wish, and who can resist Joan Greenwood as Sibella, especially in hats that seem to contain an entire florist's shop? It evokes her definitive Gwendolen Fairfax in Anthony Asquith's 1952 filming of The Importance of Being Earnest. In fact, Oscar Wilde's play is the essential background reference for Robert Hamer's screenplay -- it apparently also influenced the novel on which the film is based -- and you hear Wilde's voice in such lines as Mazzini's "It is so difficult to make a neat job of killing people with whom one is not on friendly terms." Hamer's staging also provides the necessary distancing from Mazzini's murders, as in the scene in which he offs Young Henry D'Ascoyne (Guinness): While Mazzini is taking tea with Edith (Valerie Hobson) in the garden we hear a whump that neither character acknowledges as Henry's darkroom explodes with him in it. Then smoke begins to arise beyond the garden wall, and Mazzini comments that someone must be burning leaves. Not this time of year, Edith replies, and Mazzini rushes off to "investigate" what he knows has happened. Kind Hearts and Coronets seems to me the best of all the classic British comedies of the late 1940s and the 1950s.
