Lana Turner (actress): ”The director, Tay Garnett, came up with a brilliant costuming idea that was executed
by Irene. As Garnett later explained it, ‘There was a problem getting a story with that much sex past the censors.
We figured that dressing Lana in white somehow made everything she did seem less sensuous It was also attrac—
tive as hell . . . They didn't have “hot pants" then, but you couldn't tell it by looking at hers" The reviewers loved
it. My costumes stimulated as much discussion as the film itself."
