Good Hat Movie?

[eaglerich]

I'm watching "The Black Dahlia" on Cinemax as I type this. There's lots of good looking hats. Historically accurate? Personal opinions about the hats or the movie?

It's quite possible I'm the only one in the Lounge who enjoyed this movie. I'm glad they left a lot of the stuff in the novel out, like the trip to Mexico. I enjoyed the costumes, the sordidness, the yucky stuff, and yes, I suspended belief for the whole time, so I didn't look for accuracy or even good acting. Not my favorite performers, certainly, but I was entertained. And I hate new movies.

The Black Dahlia

Some hats from this movie are pictured in an article in the 1st issue of Classic Style magazine.
There are many good hat/vintage clothing movies. Two of my modern favorites are "Seabiscuit" and "LA Confidential".

fine by me

Actually I would have loved it if they'd done the Mexico stuff, but I enjoyed the movie as a whole...I'd put it on about a par with Mulholland Falls, which didn't get good reviews but worked for me.

I wasn't exactly awed by the acting or the movie itself. I was at times distracted by goings-on around my apartment. But it was beautifully photographed with a real "vintage feel". I was wondering about reactions to the costumes, especially the hats. I thought they were great. Loved the classic cars, too.

Dr. Greg you beat me to it. I agee with you on Mulholland Falls. I try to catch it whenever it is on TV.
