      LOLA MONTÈS -- 
		French 
      -- The best petti image was portrayed at the end of Lola's marriage and 
		she was sitting down in her bedroom - I've looked for some stills.
		The first  
		picture is from the bedroom scene, but is not the best petticoat 
		moment; she gets up and sits down again a few times, one time with a lot 
		more petticoat in shot. She seems to be wearing at least two petticoats.
		The second still 
		is from an earlier scene.

      LOLITA-- 
      Lyon lays across the hotel bed 
      and the camera actually positions itself behind her so that we see her 
      beautifully poufy petticoat!  Later, we see Lyon’s petticoats sitting
 across a side chair!  Ms. Lyon has several nice scenes (and the high 
		school dance is worth seeing), but 
      another one is where she seats herself in a wooden rocking chair to eat a 
      sandwich.
 Low level camera angle catches the scenery here!  
		Especially nice is when she lays on the bed on her stomach, and the 
		camera angle is from the rear!  
		She is crystal clear in Tessy's eyes as the ideal young teenager 
      
      ('nymphet'), doing 
		devastating justice to a bouffant dress and tight belt! |

				LUCKY ME-- 
      A delightful musical, comedy, 
      Ms. Day is seen wearing the most beautiful full frock in her number, "I 
      speak to the Stars."  It's a real beaut! 
      ...a beautiful powder blue chiffon (lined with 
      taffeta) cocktail gown; it has a full calf length skirt, shawl collar 
      neckline lined in white lace, double breasted buttons on bodice front,
      and pettis of pale blue net -- lovely rustle of the dress, but not 
      overloud.  Other costumes: pleated skirt of camel with pink pettis,  
      powder blue skirt with white pettis.----
