TRAILERAMA: The Bellboy; F for Fake; The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield; Godzilla vs. Megalon

THE BELLBOY

Jerry Lewis’ directorial debut.

F FOR FAKE

Orson Welles himself edited this proposed trailer for his last completed film. The American distributor rejected it because it ran over nine minutes long (among other reasons), but it’s at least as good as the film itself.

THE WILD, WILD WORLD OF JAYNE MANSFIELD

Shortly after ’60s pin-up bombshell Jayne Mansfield was decapitated in a freak road accident, some shifty producers assembled this unbelievable exploitation/nudie film. It’s on DVD from Something Weird Video, and I highly recommend it.

GODZILLA VS. MEGALON

Widely considered the worst of the Godzilla series…which is really saying something.
Notice that the trailer refers to Jet Jaguar as “Robotman.”
