You know how while watching old movies, you sometimes wonder if there are gene pools for certain eras, as people tend to have a distinctive look? If there is, I agree that casting took extras pains to find the perfect faces for even the most bit of a part. Each of Peppy's young male friends...
Yes, everything is for a reason. On the stairs, in the Bradbury, George is, for the first time, wearing blend-in-with-the-background grey, and is on his way down, literally, whilst Peppy is going up, and wearing brighter clothes. I like how when they're together, it's always Peppy who is...
I know just what you mean. It may end its run here tomorrow & I'm thinking of taking myself to see it one more time on the big screen (via projector), just for a final opportunity to take in those precise, beautiful details.

George Valentin shared this behind-the-scenes link through his facebook page.
SugarKitten, I don't 'diet' either; have just made adjustments to my habits over the years, most of which are common sense and you probably do already. I don't do soda pop (other than the occasional zippy, stingy ginger beer), but have water when I'm thirsty. The idea of consuming a big dose...

Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women who Made America Modern.
I've read these books (all but the last), from the library, and loved them. Ms. Greenwood has such a fine, snappy writing style, and it was nice to see in an interview with her that she's pleased with how the television adaptation is remaining true to the spirit of her characters. I really...
Yikes! I am on facebook, but (as in the real world) choose my friends with caution. So many tales of psychos & lunatics...
Oh, and BD, your teenage photos are stunning.
Yes, that!
This week I had my 8th viewing (yeah, I know), and still the film remains as engrossingly beautiful as ever. No scenes have worn out their welcome; there's not a spot where I find myself thinking "okay, hurry up and get to the good stuff"). Even though my daughter has promised...
At the cinema, "The Artist" (yet again) this morning.
On television, an odd, surreal British flick from 1967 called "The White Bus" on Netflix ("Red, White, and Zero" on imdb).
The classics are always classic and a delight to watch; one of my favorite oldies is "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" - those wonderful wonky shadows! Otherwise, I have to admit to adoring Vincent Price, and having the fondest, cozy childhood memories of Dr. Phibes. I'll always watch those...
Don't know how I missed this one before, but I'm currently watching "Love's Labours Lost", the 2000 version, set in academia Britain early 40s (I'm guessing); Shakespeare verbatim, interspersed with musical numbers by the likes of Porter and Gershwin.....
"The Artist". Yet again. This time the theatre was much emptier - only about 12 people at the 2 pm showing, and for the first time, I saw a couple walk out within the first 15 minutes. Their loss.
It's always fun to catch up with this thread. While I'm happy that vintage styles seem to continue making a comeback (along with classic burlesque), both here in the US, and, according to the fliers and mags my UK pal mails to me, in a rather big way in Britain, (how I'd love to attend one of...
Since November, when the Mr. gave it to me as a birthday present, I've been reading "Everybody Was So Young", a biography of Sara and Gerald Murphy; interspersed with "Letters From the Lost Generation", which is mostly correspondence between the Murphys and Hemingway, with a bit of Fitzgerald...
