I have an old suit jacket with the Sears "Individually Tailored" label dated 1937. Aqua blue with pinstripes and a bi-swing "action" back. The quality is on par with most asuits of the period I own or have handled. It is fully-lined with rayon, however, not skeleton-lined.
My ALTERNATE top ten:
THE MILKY WAY
HERE COMES MR. JORDAN
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
THE GOLD RUSH
RASHOMON
PYGMALION
THE ELUSIVE PIMPERNEL
THE MUMMY
SCARFACE
THE SET-UP
I recently picked up an old pair of russet-colored Florasheim brogues with that old nubbly embossed grain. I'm trying to figure out roughly how old they are.
One thing apparent to me is that they lack the little cloth "cameo" tag inside either shoe.Does anyone here know when that tag was first...
NIGHTMARE ALLEY
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE
THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
THE BANK DICK
THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN)
CITIZEN KANE
SUNSET BOULEVARD
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939 version)
Agreed regarding what has been previously said about the original. That it was performed live contributed much to it's tension. Hard to believe that Paddy Chayefsy (sp?) went on to write ALTERED STATES.
I've worked on and off in bars for over thirteen years. I've always been baffled by something about vodka. Among Eastern Europeans it seems to be regarded as something of a manly drink, much like bourbon in the West. However, in the bars of New York, nine out of ten vodka drinkers are women.
I first saw this via a newly restored print in the private theater at DeNiro's Tribeca Grill 'round ten years back. There was a lecture by an NYU professor about the movie before the screening. If memory serves, both Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain were hired at different points to punch up...
I fund my vintage attire by selling vintage clothing on eBay. Most of what I sell is men's vintage clothing scavenged at flea markets and thrift stores (that is, the stuff I find that doesn't fit me). Nearly everything I sell either goes to Japan or France. Clearly these are people of taste.
Huh? Are you saying that ELC jackets run small? Not in my experience. I wear a size 40 in McCoy's and Lost Worlds and 38 in Rickson's and Aero but in an Eastman I wear a 36, and this is after they sized down their patterns a few years back
