Movie hats

[Scuttle]

I just saw Kenneth Branagh’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” which was a competent if flawed film but was absolutley beautifully shot, imo. One reason for this was the costuming - there a LOT of nice hats especially in the first half hour or so....

I always enjoyed the 1974 movie -- heck, I still do!-- so hadn't given much attention to this newer release. I hadn't considered the Hat angle!

And of course the mandatory Johnny Depp in a fedora shot, which is about all I could get out of Google.

Interesting article-- thanks!

From which I viewed this:

Josh Gad's hat/presentation does nothing for me (is he supposed to look like a caricature?!), but I'm all about the brown number to the right (actor with his back to the camera).

The one to the left, near the train, looks good, too!

This photo is only a taste - there are tons of great hats in the film worn by extras and the male cast alike!

"Wind River" Not a lot of hats but a good movie.

Marcello Mastroianni on the set of "Leo the Last" (1970). I remember seeing it once and thought it was good. Would be nice to see a remastered rerelease.

Which Akubra hat was Russell Crowe wearing in 3:10 to Yuma after the hat switch with Crawley? I didn’t care for short brimmed gambler (Ben Wade’s hat) but liked the second one (Crawley’s).

Edward G. Robinson and William Collier Jr. in Little Caesar (1931)

How about this hat on Adolphe Menjou. His politics were not to my liking but the man knew how to dress. I like the shark gill ribbon. The image may have come from his role as Walter Burns in the original "Front Page".

Karl Malden in On The Waterfront (1954)

What a stellar performance this guy had

The single vent grommet on the crown suggests to me that it's an Akubra "The Boss" that had been re-shaped a bit to get the look they wanted, and has certainly had the original leather band replaced with what appears to be a braided horsehair band. But I'm far from being an expert and I'm only making an observation, so don't take my word for it.

I posted this sometime back but it's worth a repost. "Fury" 1936 with Spencer Tracy and Walter Brennan. Check out all those hats.

Walter Brennan from the same movie

My favorite actor in one of his best films. Jack Nicholson in "Chinatown" I also included an image of John Huston. I love both of the hats.

Definitely a favorite of mine.
Jack's suits are out of this world.

This made me think that maybe I could fit some of those cheap small vintage hats.

Notice how high on his head this guy wears his hat.

I liked that woman talking about her husband...He was the town drunk until the bar went out of business...then he just dried up.
