Joi Lansing Web of Love

Scopitones, those clunky 16mm jukeboxes in clubs and bars in the Sixties, are a treasure trove of garish preMTV musical wonders, and Web Of Love is one of the art form s most delirious delights. Joi Lansing (real name Joyce Wassmansdorff) was a platinum blonde nightclub chanteuse and bit player in movies and TV, but was better known to Middle America as Frank Sinatra s onagain, offagain floozie, and she capitalized on her tabloid infamy by playing up the sexpot image in three Scopitones made in 1964.
