    The Hudsucker Proxy

    Up until their recent dives (Intolerable Cruelty and Ladykillers) I think this is their weakest film. Some nice eye candy, but doesn't amount to much. And Tim Robbins is awful.

    Jake Gittes: Style Icon

    Oh fine, then. Yes, he looks very quiffy and dry and of the 70s. Not at all period. He ruined the movie for me. His hair keeps me awake at night. Don't even get me started on the lines on the road, or the police siren, or the way the phone rings. ;) Satisfied? ;)

    Sources for rare 1940s movies on VHS/DVD/download?

    This guy has a lot of rarities available on dvd. You might send him a message. I don't know him, have bnever dealt with him, but I've seen he has offered some hard to get stuff. Might be worth a try. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmikesflicksQQhtZ-1 If this is deleted because it is close...

    That's it for now. It's a time consuming project, but I'll be back with the next suit in a few days. If this is a pointless exercise, please let me know. :o ;)

    Finally, a look at Jake in his straw hat, and a look at the long pointy shirt collars he was partial to.

    This is the best shot I could get of the front, though if you watch the scene where he meets the phony Mrs Mulwray you get a few quick looks at it while it is buttoned.

    Jake Gittes: Style Icon

    The film's art director was Dick Sylbert, and his wife Ann designed the costumes. I've read that they were made for the film and that they were vintage, so I don't know the truth, but she does have an eye for the kind of thing a Jake Gittes would have had on in the summer of 1937. First up is...

    How much can one take a garment in?

    Congratulations on the difficult task of losing weight in ice cream season. Trousers can be taken in 2 sizes at the very very most, and pleats complicate the process. Trousers taken in more than a size can look and feel a little off, so the more you have to take in, the better your...

    Castro Steps Aside

    Cuba itself is beautiful, and Havana has a kind of dilapidated beauty that I think would appeal to pretty well anyone who stops by this forum. Restaurants and bars are often so homey that they actually are homes, and prices are more than reasonable. Aesthetics aside, the Cuban people I met were...

    Need Some Screen Cap Know How

    Hi Baggers, "Hardware acceleration" has to be swtiched off. With some commercial dvds that might not be enough, so you may want to download a free player by VLC. This entry at wikipedia was very helpful. J-F
