Simply A Masterpiece

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fresh and Exciting

Best movie ever!

Sexy or "dirty" movies were really rather clean in 1952 as was most of America. LOVE MOODS was the life's blood of the ornate old Leader Theatre in Washington, DC where it played for over a year. The daily advertising, Lili St Cyr takes a bath in Love Moods, gave no clue the movie was a scant 17 minutes. They were open all day and charged a stiff admission price to the few customers who crept into the show. Let me just add that Lili St Cyr later made a "regular" movie for Howard Hughes, Son of Sinbad, with Dale Robertson and a much more beautiful Sally Forrest. If you can find one of the rare VHS tapes it might set you back over $100.

Love Moods (1952) *** (out of 4) This is a rather nice six minute short that has Lili St. Cyr doing a striptease and bath for your viewing pleasure. St. Cyr starts off taking her clothes off behind a towel and getting into an incredibly fake looking tub. Once in there the bubble machine goes into overdrive as she washes herself before, once again, ducking behind a towel and coming out in an impressive dress. LOVE MOODS was obviously meant to turn males on back in 1952 and I'm going to go out on the limb and guess it did its job just fine. The movie is certainly silly by today's standards but it's actually fairly well-made and there's no doubt that St. Cyr just has a certain something about her and no its not just her beauty. The nudity is somewhat limited as she has pasties over her nipples but overall the film is entertaining.
