Bogart Hat pics - Bullets or Ballots (1936)

[Pyroxene]

I caught a movie on TV the other night called Bullets or Ballots (1936) staring Edward G. Robinson & Bogart. I was really impressed with the hats they wore. Really nice items. Tall, untapered crowns and wide brims.

The supporting cast had some great hats too.

The movie was so-so. For me, that's ok because the costumes were great.

Cheers,
Pyroxene

Is this flick on DVD yet?

Also, those fedora's are perfect... too perfect!

I like that movie... too bad Edward G has to die at the end.

The hats are just Impeccable.

I wouldn't classify Bogart's brim in those pictures as being wide. He had such a thin face that his brims were on average more on the narrow side. The more narrow brim looks perfect on Bogart (it doesn't look narrow on him). That's what's great about getting a custom made hat. If you don't have a natural "hat face", a custom hatter can make you a hat that looks right on you, regardless. Those hats certainly look good, I'll agree. Cheers

Worth a bump for the cool pics of Bogey.

And excellent pics of Bogey they are too.

Renderking asked a long time ago if 'Bullets or Ballots' is available on DVD, and it is. I have it as part of my Warner Bros 'Tough Guys' collection, found on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pictures-Collection-Bullets-Ballots-Conquest/dpB000FI9OCMref=imdbpov_dvd_0/002-1924855-1372828">Amazon here.</a>

A long time ago

I got this gem on VHS about 8 years ago. I also have it on DVD.

Check out IMDB.com and you will see if ANY of your favorite movies are available on DVD or VHS.

This movie is great.

Hm, somehow the crown would be too high even f'r a 37-er like me.

 

[Atterbury Dodd]

That's neat. I have been wanting to see the movie for sometime.

I'm a huge fan of Bogey, Cagney, and Edward G. Their movies are the reason I got interested in the hats. I have recorded about 20-25 of their movies off of the cable channels here near Nashville onto DVD. If you get Turner Classics they have a good search capable schedule that publishes 3 months in advance at tcm.com. The cool thing is that they broadcast them commercial free. Just pop in a DVD, set the record date and time, and presto a vintage flick for you viewing pleasure.

What great lids these guys are sporting!!

Just worth bringing these photos back to life on here again, as they are worth it just for reference pics if any of you are thinking of pulling the trigger on a new hat or restyling an old one!!

Thanks for bumping this thread up, Paddy! I hadn't seen these before. I'll have to check out that movie.

Great Stills

Thanks for bringing this one up again. My current project is to make my own hat starting with a tan rabbit felt hat body. I've been thinking that 1930s style tall crown with a narrower brim would work well for this hat. I'll add these pics to my collection as a reference.

Sweet looking hats.
This film is part of the Warner Bros. Tough Guys collection. Good stuff.
