In Reply to: Film breasts: a bit of a ramble (I know I'm in a rut but I can't help myself!). posted by tinear on October 28, 2005 at 13:57:38:
tinear,I could be wrong, but, my far-off memory of Miss Sarandon in "Rocky Horror" is that in the daring Brad and Janet underwear scenes, there was at that time, a considerable rack.
Jessica Lange, I haven't studied sufficiently. I don't know, she was not especially top heavy in "Rob Roy" was she? She was in pretty good form in "Tootsie". Perhaps Rob Roy's a bad example because of the period costumes.
Say, wasn't her name in the 1976 "King Kong" some strange thing like "Dwablette" or "Poopsa" ?
Cheers,

mentioned her. See it again. Yes, "daring" it was, indeed!
Not really small back then, but having kids and putting on weight has made 'em bigger for sure. That and the sag.
tinear,I saw "Rocky Horror" in London in about 1976. There was a theatre on the Tottenham Court Road that showed it every night conntinuously for about three years and though I was firmly in my Truffaut, Visconti , Eisenstein, Goddard, Bunuel phase, went to see what the fuss was about.
Of course, "RHPS" is really inventive and stylish and along with "Wizard of Oz", one of the very few musicals I can tolerate.
I thought at the time the underwear scenes were interesting- mildly disturbing like Curry's transvestiture. It's that old nightmare that you're in school or the office in underwear- and vulnerable in that way- a small thing but effective and funny.
I suppose breast size is a personal question of degree, but I maintain Miss Sarandon was well set in "Rocky Horror", But you're probably correct that at least there's the apprearance of bustatudinal embigment later. Obviously, I need more study of this critical area!
Now that I think of it- or rather THEM, another example of this is Goldie Hawn- compare the "Laugh-In" era with "Banger Sisters". I once shared a lift in Santa Monica with Goldie Hawn- her production offices were in the same building as the firm I worked for- and very attractive too.
Good topic!
