I’ve been reading one of Edith Head’s biographies and have come to her work on What A Way To Go with Shirley MacClaine and Robert Mitchum as well as Dean Martin, Gene Kelly, Paul Newman and Dick Van Dyke. This 5 minute clip will give you a quick look at a few of the fabulous costumes from this movie. Apparently Mitchum and MacClaine were having an affair at the time so their constant I-love-you’s might not have been all that hard to utter. And, yes this is a movie for which her work was nominated for an Oscar for Costume Design. If you love costumes, Edith Head or just a silly movie this fits the bill. Check it out!
OK, now how fun was that!!! Loved the costumes, Shirley was workin’ each one!

That had to be fun to wear those. Oh, if only for a moment…
WOW. The “ending” is fantastic! No spoilers here. I love the black and silver number. The green gown is also divine. What a FABULOUS clip! T.
And, I marvel at Shirley’s legs!
