    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    I know what you mean. I'm that way about movies that are about movie making. Which strangely they never seem to get right. Having said that, probably less than 1% of the audience viewing those films would know the difference between a radio show from the 30s and one from the 50's. :-) Doug

    Film Noir?

    You have to understand that at the time of the films release, Mary Astor had a reputation as something of a notorious woman. In fact she had been involved, as least on the edges, of a sex scandal shortly before Falcon was made. So the filmmakers were playing off of the audiences expectations of...

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    That may have been more of a rights issue than anything else. Though they probably just thought that no one would be able to tell from the brief clip that it was from the wrong era. Doug

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    She probably dialed 9111 which WAS an actual emergency number in the 50's. In fact there is a film called Dial 9111 (1950) Doug

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    Avoiding contrails is impossible. And its only been recently with the advent of computers that they can be removed. So I tend to give filmmakers a little slack in this area. Doug

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    The western electric model 302 telephone was originally issued with a cloth covered straight cord, but a rubber covered curled cord became available in the early 1940's. It wasn't widely distributed however until after the war. So while they would have been rare in the early 40's, its not...

    Where are the modern cars in Chinatown? I've seen the film probably 20 times and haven't spotted them. Doug

    Because we are putting these videos someplace where they won't vanish, I thought I'd add our first "Motion Pinup" "Her Big Night" Doug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqO9Xz1hyA0

    philosophies of the late 1940s

    Another idea that permeated the post war (and pre-war for that matter) era was the "tomorrowland" syndrome. The notion that the future was going to be bright and shiny and everyone was going to be driving an atomic powered flying car. Look at the original Tomorrowland in Disneyland and you get...

    Thank you! Amanda is the real deal, and she knows her vintage stuff! I hope you find a good photographer in your area to do some Hurrell like photography with. Doug Edit: Come to think of it there is a guy in San Fransisco who does wonderful work. http://www.lafterhall.com/filmnoir.html

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    Yep as I said in the other thread, it happens when you are the only guy behind the camera. Those two scenes were actually shot on different days. The stairs were shot first, then the booth on another day. I just forgot about the flashlight on the stair day. :D Doug

    That is called a continuity error, and happens when you have a one man crew behind the camera! :D Doug

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    Yeah I was making no attempt to remove all things modern. But lets just call it a "radarange" and be done with it! LOL After all the first microwave ovens were available from Tappen in 1952. Of course they were $1200 in 52, but we won't quibble. Doug
