Storyline

- TriviaUnder the working title "Jayne Mansfield Reports Europe", actual footage of her in Paris and Rome was shot in the spring and summer of 1964, and edited with clips from other movies. On her return to America, additional filming in New York City and Hollywood was done later the same year. All segments were done in Mondo style. Following Mansfield's death in 1967 accident, portions of her narration for this film were recorded by an uncredited voice actress who sounds like her.
- Quotes
Jayne Mansfield: That night, we went to a nightclub, the Blue Bunny. The sign said it was a topless club. What could be inside, I wondered. Topless customers? Ooh, that girl - she was so lovely! But good thing they had her in a cage. The featured act came on, the Ladybirds. Ooh, they were good! I was surprised - they were all lovely girls! As for the girl in the cage: A little silicone will go a long, long way!
- Crazy creditsThe featured persons in the opening credits ends with «...and a cast of thousands of Jayne's friends all over the world». This is blatantly not true, as if the number of pedestrians do not reach one thousand if you count them all, and Jayne is shown in very few parts of the world. A crazy hype for the movie.
- Alternate versionsIn Italy, after the initial ban (July 30, 1968) the Distributor Patry Film got an approval for adults (over 18) but to copy cut to 2100 meters (76m33s).

Featured review
ITS CAMPY AND FUN. An easy watch and a fun movie. It's fascinating seeing the cameos of early trans people. Don't get me wrong, the film gets clunky at times, her body doubles are a bit obvious and it's not Jayne Narrating but Carolyn De Fonseca but it's passable as she also dubbed over Jayne in a few of her other movies like Dog Eat Dog. IF YOUR A FAN OF JAYNE PLEASE WATCH. In some scenes like the interview with one of the transgender performers it's clear that it was filmed after Jayne's death and it's a bit awkward in the drag ball scene as it's obvious again that Jayne is not alive at the time of filming. THE END HAD ME CRYING. We go from this fun film to a sad movie and the campy plot juxtaposed with the painful reality of her life honestly summarises her life in a metaphorical way.
