When you announce a crush on Jane Fonda. Others immediately think it is because of her film Barbarella, in which she was definitely eye candy but I would say she was a figure of lust in that film. I am talking about a crush, not lust, which is sex. All my crushes in life and fantasy come from a moment in time, as with a real person it is kind of the same with a moment on the TV or big screen.
All the fantasy entry’s in the ‘Sunday Crush’ come from a taken a time within a film when you go wow. I had seen Fonda in other films and it took this film to see her different from all her other movie roles.
She caught my eye in ‘Klute’ as Bree Daniels a New York prostitute/call girl. She oozes sex appeal in this film and we first see Bree in a line-up of models at an audition. Asked to show her hands but the casting directors pass her by much to her anger. In is film the whole package from the clothes she wears to her voice draws you in to this fantasy world.
After the casting, she picks up a john/punter and goes to a hotel room where she poses sexually on a couch, her legs crossed to show off the slit in her skirt.
“We could have a good time for fifty,” Bree says, nodding her head, her voice challenging and very husky. “If you wanted something extra it would be a little more.” He whispers to her his special request, she laughs and says, “Oh, that’s so exciting!” her voice a sexy purr. “But it’s going to cost you more”, she says, the tone of her voice barely changing.
Then comes the famous moment: “Oh, my angel!” she cries, as he wimpily humps her (we never learn what his special request was). Bree moans and moans takes a quick peek at her watch, then keeps on moaning no happy hooker here with Bree it is just a business deal.
The scene that wowed me came late into the film where she is dressed in a shiny black metallic dress that clings to her body with a feather boa has an accessory and haircut makes he look stunning and I think it made me fall in love with her. He pays her to undress while talking to him the background music adds to the scene along with her voice talking of the virtues of older men.
Fonda, with that unforgettable haircut, delivers the performance of her career. Bree is a layered, complex, and conflicted woman, both attracted and repelled by her chosen career, unable to connect with men except when she senses their desperate submission to her sexuality. Jane Fonda won an Academy Award for her performance as Bree Daniels
