I don’t have Noir Alley framing sequences with Eddie Muller introducing this movie, A Blueprint for Murder. It’s from 1953 and stars Jean Peters, which is all the intro I need!
Jean Peters, who became Mrs. Howard Hughes, had one of those perfectly beautiful and captivating faces I admire so much.
The closest comparison I can think of today, that won’t be a surprise to my buddy Bismo, is Rebecca Ferguson.
I have known one woman who had comparable beauty. I have a photo of her at age 25 that would be a perfect match to those images of Peters and Ferguson, but I’d be in big trouble if I shared it.
Then, of course, there is incomparable Prue.
Damn you and your dangling carrots! At least we get a breath-taking shot of Prue. I approve of the fact that so many actresses were once named Jean: Jean Harlow; Jean Peters; Jeanne Crain; Jean Simmons, Jean Arthur, Jean Seberg …much more recently Jean Smart. Did I miss anybody?
