It Happened One Night … at MGM; Girl 27

Sorry, the Film you’re looking for is not available.

I watched this movie this past weekend and the only way you can see the whole film i’m finding is by paying  Amazon $1.99 for the day or $9.97 to own, or if you have Netflix I know it’s on there.  It needs to be made public at how JewRuled Hollywood worked back then showing the devistating effects it had/has even now as seen today.  Shera~

One of the most notorious yet long-forgotten scandals in Hollywood history involving the brutal rape of a teenage chorus girl is back in the spotlight at the Sundance Film Festival.US writer-director David Stenn’s “Girl 27″ lifts the lid on the rape of Patricia Douglas at a wild party organised by studio giants Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at a Los Angeles ranch in 1937.

Douglas, then a starry-eyed 17-year-old, was one of around 120 chorus girls bused into a party for MGM sales staff at Culver City, where 500 cases of whiskey and champagne were on hand to supply around 300 male revellers.

Stenn’s film, which includes hitherto unseen archival footage and interviews with Douglas and others involved in the case, explores the attack and the subsequent cover-up.

“MGM took her to a studio doctor who told her it never happened, they took her home and told her it never happened,” Stenn told AFP.

“She went to the district attorney who said it never happened. And then she went public. She didn’t want another girl to go through what she had gone through,” said Stenn.

Douglas was raped after she and the other chorus girls were effectively presented to the MGM salesmen as “party favors,” Stenn said.

“They were put in skimpy cowgirl outfits and heavy camera makeup and bused to a remote location with no phones or transportation,” he said. >>>MORE<<<

It Happened One Night … at MGM

When Patricia Douglas was raped by an MGM salesman at a 1937 studio party, the 20-year-old dancer filed charges, taking on Hollywood’s most powerful institution. Today, as Douglas breaks a 65-year silence, the author exposes the perjury, bribes, and smear tactics used to destroy her.

‘What,” asked Jacqueline Onassis, “are we going to do next?” It was September 1993. She had just edited Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow,in which I solved the long-standing mystery of how Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s beloved Blonde Bombshell died suddenly and inexplicably at 26. (Unbeknownst even to herself, Harlow had been suffering from kidney failure since she was 15.) Now, over lunch at the Peninsula hotel in Manhattan, I told Jackie of an intriguing topic I’d stumbled onto in my Harlow research. A month before the star’s death, in 1937, a dancer named Patricia Douglas had been raped at a wild MGM party thrown by Louis B. Mayer. Instead of bartering her silence for a studio contract or cash, Douglas went public with her story and filed a landmark lawsuit. One person I interviewed told me, “They had her killed.”
