ABSOLUTELY!!!! Baily was hands down better looking!!!!! Jennifer was just "flashy".....in an expensive way......

Hoyt wore a hat well.

He was a good songwriter too.

I went to a filming of WKRP once. At these "Live Studio Audience" shows they usually have someone who acts as an "Emcee" of sorts, keeping the audience from getting bored while the crew isn't filming, answering any questions people in the audience might have, and so on. At WKRP someone asked half-jokingly If Jan "Bailey Quarters" Smithers might be interested in going on a blind date, and after the Emcee said "No" rather emphatically he added that he found it interesting that every heterosexual male who visited the set wanted to meet Loni "Jennifer Marlowe" Anderson, but that it was Jan "Bailey Quarters" Smithers' phone number they'd ask for.

One of the best! Have you seen The Big Steal? Also Mitchum and Greer and totally enjoyable. William Bendix as one of the bad guys. More good hats…

Out of the Past is a classic, for sure! I loved The Big Steal too. That's another good one. Not as classic as Out of the Past but still well worth the watch. "His Kind of Woman" is also another of my favorite Mitchum film noirs. A real strange Mitchum noir to watch is "The Locket". That one is really well worth the watch.

I gotta say, though, as much as I'm a Mitchum fan, I like Dick Powell's film noirs better.
"Murder My Sweet", (1944, another classic), Dick Powell and Mike Mazurki. Always great hats of the film noir era.

I need to see that one again. Still hard to get used to Dick Powell as a tough guy after seeing 42nd Street or any of those Busby Berkeley musicals! I will have to check out those other Mitchum noirs.

Regardless the movie he plays in, Edward G. Robinson never fails to serve as inspiration, hat-wise, with his old-school creases and upbrim styling

From "The woman in the window", "The stranger" and "Scarlet street"

Scarlett Street and Woman in the Window are two of my favorite Edward G. Robinson film noirs! Both co-starred Joan Bennett,... and Scarlett Street also co-starred Dan Duryea, who showed up in a lot of film noirs wearing some awesome hats.

When it comes to fedoras thin ribbons are my favorites. William Holden sports a thin ribbon in the 1952 movie, "Boots Malone"

Edward G Robinson could really wear a hat! [my favorite is brim down]

And Cagney was no slouch!

Awesome. You're right. Cagney was no slouch when it came to wearing hats. White Heat was one of his best.

Just to add: I like that jacket Cagney's wearing in the WH pics.

White Heat is a great movie and the entire crew wears amazing hats and jackets.

I find it interesting in a good many Film Noirs (and just 1930's detective movies like "Boston Blackie" it seems the police detectives tend to wear a lot of thin ribbon fedoras....
While not a police detective here is a good TRF.

 

[M Hatman]

Here are some police....
They Walked By Night

Shield for Murder

And of course Touch of Evil

 

[RBH]

I have stated before, Gene Autry movies are full of great hats!!1
Both western and fedora !!

 

[T Jones]

I don't know about this one. I watched this movie a few times. I liked the movie but I don't know about Dan Duryea wearing this hat. "Along Came Jones", (1945), with Gary Cooper, Dan Duryea, and Loretta Young. Good light hearted Western and worth the watch.

I like the young girls hat & the embroidery work on her dress & cuffs in Saddle Pals.
