This period of Bette’s career is so fascinating. Supposedly they made three versions of JINXED with three completely different endings. I know she did at least one more song for the movie that was cut. This could be a dream for a nice long set of DVD extras! But alas, the movie was such a dud all that extra hours of footage…well it was apparently all swept up with the rubble…
I might also add that to me…I’m being real here…of all the COMEDIES Bette Midler has done I truly think I laughed harder at this one than any of the others. I’m not talking about the COMEDY-DRAMAS but the many successful strictly for laughs COMEDIES she made that were kind of generic. This script had some kick to it and I still chuckle to this day at some of those scenes! Some of it was even unintentional humor but struck a chord because of all the bad press the film received!
I was sorry Mr. D did not add to this added commentary. I know he went to see JINXED and I would love to know all the details! Mr. D please go there for me on JINXED!
