    I would substitute Incense and Peppermint for Gene Pitney's

    Things we appreciate (I guess for a long time).are the Classic Movies. While I don't mind others having their own interests, I do get discouraged that my interests seem orphaned by the general public. The public's taste has become less refined in entertainment of all forms, considering how many CIS crime shows there are, I fear a time will come when, in spite of all the channels out there, we find less and less actual variety of choice. Maybe we are going through a sea change again. I am glad you're here, mw, and you can vent with like-minded folks. I love Swingtime too.

    Pretty good. Left you a pm..

    Amen, sister. But then, outside of a few caring posters here, almost no discussions of story and plot and it's origins in myth or validity is discussed here either. Maybe that's why I am not here very much. I like context as much as the next person, but to only talk around the movie, usually a minute or two, doesn't provide much context. I have been reading "Five Came Back: ..." by Mark Harris, and focusing on the lives of five directors and their history of WW2 has been an active pursuit of how they did the chronicling of the war for the OWI, and their take on the concept of story and perspective of the world crisis and how to tell it. I have not completed it, so I cannot speak about how the war had changed Capra, Ford, Huston, Stevens, or Wyler... We know what they produced after, but how it affects them--that's what I hope I will learn.

    Ha! Have you got that right! I have written two (count 'em 2!) rom-com specs that avoids all these tropes, and they call my specs "charming -- but too much based in reality"

    DownGoesFrazier (finance) is looking for you. Apparently he can't see you for all the Post-its..

    I will remember this story whenever I tour the Biltmore. Her uncle I think built it.

    I loved that movie too! I wish we could just keep up the '60s couture , Here's WOMAN TIMES SEVEN :

    Beautiful . Another is Gene Tierney in Laura.

    I am watching The Roosevelts too. Excellent. I enjoy just about all the Burns docs. And I agree, Peter Coyote is a terrific narrator.

    Clothes that make the woman. A Letter to Three Wives (1949), a longtime favorite uses evening dresses to define a character's background the way a writer uses vocabulary to define a character level of education. First, the evolution of sophistication of Deborah Bishop (Jeanne Crain) - from farm girl to New York Lady of the house.

    One more trip back (17th Century) before looking forward. Forever Amber. The Man in the Iron Mask recently, with Leo and gang.. Then, an earlier version with costuming that was amazing.. A TV movie version, no less.

    Maid Marian, who had more costume changes. But then, how best to show how time passes?
  16. Casablanca100views
    The Adventures of Robin Hood It seems Prince John was a inspiration for Game of Thrones. hehe. Notice the Men of Sherwood adopt the green-man camouflage like Robin. More green as the Merry men join forces. Peek a boo moment with Robin's costume (maybe Jame's observation was the correct one)- Flynn's tunic has another long tunic covering his leggings. Maid Marion coming.

    Mitzi does do something special for the costumes, Dancer's sleekness Here some shots of Mitzi in one of my favorites, Les Girls, I gotta tell ya, I searched high and low for a pic of the back of these costumes, alas couldn't find it.

    How to Marry a Millionaire I can't begin to tell you how disillusioned I felt when I first learn (at age 6) that I couldn't just grow up and just find a job as a model in a store. Always liked Bacall's wedding dress.

    The King and I (1956) I love the costumes for this production for it's perceptions of culture clash.
  20. Casablanca100views
    absolutely loved the costuming in Much Ado About Nothing. The women were from another time and era, and, well, it's Shakespeare and I almost always cut slack for that playwright.

    If you want to see the house, you still can. It's up in the Malibu Creek State Park, and it is used as a administrative building. Not much to see inside, but the outside is still recognizable. http://www.malibucreekstatepark.org/history.html

    Excalibur Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart.. Helen Mirren .. Ciaran Hinds --who knew then how far they would go? And Wagner themes.. thank you, John Boorman and costume designer Bob Ringwood

    Cecil B DeMille was a showman, not a historian. But he tried to bring us ancient Egypt with The Ten Commandments. I watch Ann Baxter chewing up the scenery with her Betty Page hair and custom Princess frocks, it's just so wonderfully 50s sword and sandal about it.. I have never seen better body armor on men until..... Stay tuned.

    I LIKE BIG PICS and I CANNOT LIE!! (I think the song goes something like that) You notice costumes, James notices guitar music, I focus on sound in general for that is what my son works on in post. Sound designs are very layered for the right effect. I loved the pics from The Egyptian as well, though for accuracy their clothing would be too sheer for Legion of Decency.

    HA! Touche!
