Mansfield 66/67 focuses on the last two years of the Hollywood bombshell’s life and the documentary presents a slightly odd portrayal with much of it focusing on the salacious newspaper column inches that surrounded Mansfield’s final days and her relationship with the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Lavey. The documentary opens with a title card stating that the film is a “true story based on rumor and hearsay” which is true as there is a line of actual...
