I've been watching a lot of Marilyn movies lately and a scene from Niagara my interest was piqued. I'm hoping one of you film buffs can help me out. In the scene where Marilyn and Joseph have just made up. Marilyn is lying in bed with what appears to be a sex toy in her hand? Are my eyes tricking me? If I'm right how did that get past censors?
shareIt is a white hairbrush with black bristles!! I suppose that in a pinch, one could use that as a sextoy!! haha.

Still here, I have answered a few posts on the Classics Board. I am here everyday!! Would answer more posts, but most have better answers by others and I would have nothing new to contribute.
"Which one do you want, Biff? Doug? Skippy? No, don't take Skippy, he has asthma."
Hehe. I did find the movie slightly risque for the fifties, but not that risque!

My question is when she's being pursued by Joseph, what's the lime green thing in her hand? Is it a shawl?
I was gonna get a flat bottom but the girl at the boat house didn't have one.
she was carrying a clear lucite handbag with the green scarf tied to it- must have been the style then- also you see the green scarf after she is killed-it is in her right hand.
shareGee thanks for the spoiler alert. So she gets killed does she? Might as well go ahead and tell us who-dun-it.

If you don't know what it is, then how do you know it is not a white hairbrush with black bristles??

The movie is 60 years old, too bad if you haven't seen it yet.
shareThose authentic clear lucite handbags from the 1950's are to die for!!
I have my eyes on one at an antique boutique here in Los Angeles, and they
want $350.00 for it! Very fashionable!!

I know this answer comes more than a year after your initial post; but that
thing in her hand is a fingernail buffer. You used it to polish your nails so that they would have a natural shine.
The little black thing is the handle you gripped while using a rocking
motion across your nails. The buffer part had a cushion/sponge like
material inside, while the outside was covered in something similar
to a chamois like material.
They are considerably smaller now, but that is what they looked like during the 1950's.
Most of the ladies I knew who used them, generally kept them in a dressing table or the night stand next to the bed.
What puzzles me though, is why the director would have that nail buffer
in her hand, since she had on nail polish; you did not use a nail buffer
on painted nails.
"OOO...I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"
Thanks, HillieBoliday, for identifying it.
I know I'd never have guessed it.
What's even more intriguing is the fact that she had it in her hand after they just made love? Like, "Okay, Georgie...ho hum...I'm almost done with my nails...you just keep at it..." ;)

Women do use a buffer on painted nails to bring the shine back up. And i think they put it in the scene to demonstrate that she was really bored with George, despite the night o' passion. He, of course, missed it. Poor sap.
shareI thought, "hey, in this light that hair brush looks a bit like a dildo!"
Aren't we awful perverts? :-)

It's a nail buffer. My mom used to use one just like it
shareSpeaking of her nails, I noticed in one closeup that the polish on a couple of them was chipped, and there was a gap where they had grown out from the cuticles about a sixteenth of an inch. Maybe it was intentional, to show how cheap and trashy the character actually was.
