I've been on a Universal Monsters kick lately, so last night I was watching Karl Freund's 1932 film The Mummy. I find that the old black and white Universal pictures are some of the best pre-bed-time watching anyone who owns a DVD player can find. (Besides what my wife and I call "Murder Show", A.K.A. anything with the word "forensic" or "case-file" in the title). The Mummy is my least favorite of what most Universal Monster fans consider the "Big Six" (Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Invisible Man). It's a serviceable enough film, albeit a bit of a Dracula rip-off. I find that the film usually lulls me to sleep long before its climax, but this time it really grabbed my attention.
I've seen The Mummy many times, so you may be asking why I was suddenly so interested in this oldie. The reason I suddenly sat up in bed and grabbed the DVD remote from the night stand? I did this because I'm fairly certain that Zita Johann's titty popped out. Zita Johann plays the object of obsession to Boris Karloff's Ardath Bey. During a scene where she is swooning after being revived from a trance by Frank Whemple, her milquetoast pussy of a suitor, she leans over a coffee table and WHAM, out pops a titty. This blew my fucking mind. I'm not sure if I really saw it or not. I kept rewinding it. Did this sort of shit happen in 1932?! Somehow, I think I fooled myself into believing that the "nip-slip" was something my generation created. I guess if Wolf Man has nards, it must be a foregone conclusion that the mummy's girlfriend has nipples.

How many times were you able to rewind it before Amy woke up and asked what the hell you were doing?
You disgust me. How could you take an innocent black and white film and turn it into pornography. I really think you've...wait a minute. What the fuck am I talking about? I needs to see some nipple action. The women in those movies were always vaguely sexy and
I have to admit that I need to go back and watch the old Universal pictures.
How do you feel about the Hammer flicks? I think I've seen a couple of them but I don't really remember. I watched a ton of old flicks when I worked at a video store but that was 10 years ago. I can't remember what I did 10 minutes ago.
There was an actress... Allison Hayes, I believe was her name.
Row!
Check her out in the MST3K episode called The Undead. It was a corman film and really quite bad.
But she was amazing. That being said, I can understand your appreciation of long-dead-actress titty-pops.
Respect the nip-slip!
That wasn't a nip-slip; it was just a lot of top-boob. ;)
