    The Artist

    Yep! And the name of the movie theater --"The Lonely Star"-- located across the street from George, seen just after the auction. And the name of Peppy's next movie after that scene: "The Guardian Angel".

    The Artist

    Here's just one example: when we first see George Valentin (at the height of his career), he is wearing a black tail suit with a white shirt and vest. Peppy, the nobody, is wearing what appears to be light grey. Toward the end of the movie, the down-and-out George is wearing a dirty light...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Score! The gamble paid off. I finally received the hats this afternoon. As expected, the three black ones are modern wool felts: on the cheap side, but would make decent costume fedoras. I'll give them away to a local Goodwill. But the BLUE one ... ah, well ... it's one of those early to...

    Vintage German suit on Ebay for cheap

    Practically all of the vintage German suits I've seen were ones recently exported to Chile for the used clothing stores there. You're right: with few exceptions, the fabrics were heavy, dense, and a bit scratchy. The exceptions were the black suits, which tended to be made of wool that was...

    I've seen this film twice and enjoyed it even more the second time. It's chock full of details and 'symbols'.

    They sure do. Finland is in Northern Europe. Suits from Scandinavia, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Eastern Europe, and Russia are also welcomed. All we ask is that you specify which country the item was made in.

    $20 Suit

    . It can also stand for "shortest path first" and "single point of failure"!

    Pajamas in public...

    Well, sure: it should be just semi-transparent. Even better if it seems accidentally so.

    This is the most extraordinary, wonderful fedora I've seen in years. May I ask what hat size it is, Scott?

    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    Yes, I was the one who pointed that out ... but the tailoring in "The Artist" is much less anachronistic, and notably more period-correct, than "Boardwalk Empire"s. IMO, it is a big stretch. Nucky would have made his stylistic choices from among the variety of tailoring options and details...

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    . Bringing Up Baby. That mess of a movie is akin to hearing fingernails raking across a chalkboard ... for about 90 minutes.

    Pajamas in public...

    Worse: like an ill-fitting one. When Fields came into the store, he was mismeasured by a salesman. The "lounge suit" pajama didn't fit him well at all. The store's founder/owner, James Oviatt, sent ol' W.C. the most groveling, apologetic letter you can imagine. (That letter is now in the...
