Ray Danton was one of the most gorgeous guys I've ever seen. The Gilles Marini
of his generation. Too bad he wasn't better known.

This review is from: The George Raft Story (DVD)

Jayne Mansfield is not the key character in this movie, it's Ray Danton! Danton Plays George Raft and how he aspired to be a romantic lead in films but was typecast in the gangster type role. Along With Jayne Mansfield who plays Raft's love interest Betty Grable, are Julie London, Barrie Chase and Barbara Nichols. Julie London Graces us with a couple of sultry songs, Barbara Nichols shakes her fanny as Texas Guinan. Nichols wears the black low back Orry Kelly Designed gown made for Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot. This is a soaper, overly dramatic, but lots of fun! Jayne Camps it up big time, playing a first class Bitch to Raft, and can barely breathe in her too tight dresses. This film is fun, enjoy it, it's a rarity!You even get to see a young Frank Gorshin pre Bat-Man tv series the riddler!

This review is from: The George Raft Story (DVD)

This is a cheap Allied Artists film with no budget, no stars, no sets, no relation to the facts of George Raft's life, and absolutely nothing to recommend it. Ray Danton is wooden in the title role (he's much better in Budd Boetticher's THE RISE AND FALL OF LEGS DIAMOND, which has yet to be released to DVD), and Joseph Newman's direction is absolutely routine. Skip this, and get a real Raft movie.
