Hi All,

 

On a related note, if you ever get the opportunity to screen "Electric 
Edwardians" I strongly recommend it. Amazing footage:

If you were going out on date, the men had to wear a suit even if it was very 
hot outside. The men had to ask their date if they could take off their jackets 
too cool off.

I have family photos from the 1930s up to pre-war WW2 and there's the whole
family out on a picnic, and all the men are wearing suits.

Even picnics were "going out" and people "dressed" to go
out.

Hats were de rigeur, just as were ties.

We were talking about BRIEF ENCOUNTER a week or so ago.
 Take a look at that for
standard British dress, even at home during the period.

Fascinating stuff, the cinema, as an historical record of fashion, social mores
etc.

My mother's eyebrows never did grow back completely properly after she
plucked them in the early 1930s because the pencil line eyebrow on women was a
major cosmetic fashion statement, mostly fronted by Hollywood.

No wonder Oliver Reed insisted he had a susbtantial insurance policy when he
shot THE DEVILS for Ken Russell and agreed to have his eyebows shaved as part of
the fiery climax of the film... that his eyebrows would grow back after filming.

Re: [MOPO] side interests of older films

[Paul Gerrard]

 
Yes I love those small historical details like seeing which  
shops/fashion/food were popular at the time. Suits and ties and cigarettes  
certainly, but 
don't forget all the hats! Funnily enough, if a movie theatre  shows up, I 
always strain my eyes trying to spot the posters. Thank God for  DVDs where 
you can get a decent paused image (also handy for the tight-sweatered  
ladies).
As for technology, not actually a location shot but one of my favourites  
is Mike Hammer's cutting edge answering machine in Kiss Me Deadly -  
basically a big shiny wall-mounted reel-to-reel tape machine with all the  
associated whirring and clunking. I want one.
The further back you go, the more I'm amazed at how cameramen  actually 
achieved some of the more extreme location shots, given how  cumbersome the 
early equipment was, and how much light was needed to keep  things in focus. 
Strapped to cars, dangling off tall  buildings, sitting in small boats in 
choppy seas. Of  course, camera trickery was rife - editing, back  projection, 
undercranking etc - but not always. I was watching Hitchcock's  silent The 
Ring over the weekend, where he appears to have placed a camera in a  
fairground ride for a brief shot, but then even some of the pioneers from  the 
very 
early 1900s experimented with such things.

Re: [MOPO] side interests of older films

[Richard Halegua Comic Art]

my co-focus is the cinematography and camera movement

so cinematographers like Russell Metty, Greg Toland, Rudolph Mate, 
Karl Freund and Winton Hoch really hit my buttons..


Robert  Surtees and his son Bruce are also photographers making 
excellent use of the camera


there are many others.

These days, too many cinematographers use these ultra-tight shots to 
make the star's faces more intense, and they also like to make too 
much use of dark lighting and dark filters. In Dark Knight.. did you 
ever see the Sun pop out???

This really is not older films but 1960 tv shows. I watch a  lot of the 
Andy Griffith Shows and just recently saw a person of color on there  for the 
first time I have watched it. Maybe as I progress through the series I  will 
see more things. Also I have never EVER seen it RAIN in Mayberry? Does it  
EVER rain there? Also in the jail where is the bathroom in the  cell?

I like that question.  Personally I love looking at vintage gadgets such as old

of old theatres themselves especially during the days of the huge extravagent 
palaces when everyone went to the movies in suit and tie.  When the theatre was

P.S.  Lots more lobby cards going up on my site this week and next.  I hope to 
have a few thousand new ones loaded by next week so I can begin loading another 
category of my site (comic books).    Take a look when time permits.   Thanks a 
bunch.

P.P.S.:  I am still looking for a 3 sheet for Lover Come back if anyone has 
one.

Re: [MOPO] side interests of older films

[Dave Rosen]

I always like to watch the background action. On occasion I've spotted movie 
stars working as extras or doing bit parts before they were famous.

I always look at signs, too. Once, watching Sterling Hayden come out of a pawn 
shop in the The Killing, I noticed a sign in the background on a strip joint 
advertising Lenny Bruce as the emcee. And this was when Lenny was a nobody! His 
fame was still a few years away. It just so happened Kubrick shot the scene on 
location on a real LA (or was it SF?) street in front of a REAL club! I thought 
that was cool.

In the older films, it's the incredible amount of cigarette smoking that 
always amazes me. How did anyone live past 40 with all that second-hand 
smoke? Like Phil, I also love the tight-sweatered women with boobs 
that'd poke your eyes out (who engineered those bras?) and the

WHEN YOU WATCH AN OLDER FILM THAT WAS TRULY FILMED ON LOCATION,  WHAT IS YOUR 
FAVORITE DIVERSION FROM THE STORY?

do you like looking at  the:

old street scenes?
clothing/fashion?
menu or grocery store  prices?
that 1940 big buick?
those tiny airplanes?
airport security  of yesteryear?
appliances, b&w televisions, radios, dial  telephones?


what else?
