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!
The magical effects of thinking 
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!
