Movie hats

The Duck of Death.

English Bob came to mind yesterday & I remembered Little Bill Daggett called him the Duck of Death when I was posting up Prince Philippe, duc d'Orléans. I wondered if duck was a play off duc.

If I remember, Little Bill was reading some of those old West dime novels, making fun of English Bob, and pronounced the title "Duke of Death" as the "Duck of Death." I was never sure if he was trying to be funny, or if he wasn't much of a reader.

I think this interaction between Daggett and Beauchamp...

Little Bill Daggett: "Like the Duck himself, I guess."
W.W. Beauchamp: "The 'Duke'."
Little Bill Daggett: "Duck, I says."

...implies it was indeed an intentional dig at English Bob.

My wife and I live in Carmel by the Sea and they had their Centennial this weekend. Clint Eastwood was the Grand Marshall in the hat from Unforgiven, the poncho from the Dollar Trilogy, the shirt from High Plains Drifter, the Andy Anderson "walk and draw" holster etc. Looked pretty spry for 86!

Oh yeah, I love that hat.

Bob, g.durand and I discussed this awhile back when the flick first aired. Cranston did a fair job playing a 6'4" man at only around 5'11". Though it's widely noted that LBJ wore a Resistol OR clone, I'm struck by the brim width of the hat in the LBJ photo. It appears to be much closer to the 2 1/4" brim of my Churchill Longview than the 2 1/2" - 2 5/8" brim of my two Resistol beaver 25's. Could just be the photo angle. BTW, I want the boots.

"Ride With the Devil"

The dugout was the same one used by some of Quantrill's men to winter over. It is located on what is now a State Wildlife Preserve & well protected from the public.

Didn't know anyone other than me who has seen this movie. Loved it. Rented it enough times my wife rolled her eyes.

This makes three of us who have seen and enjoyed this movie. Definitely worth watching for more than the period clothing.

Yesterday TCM was running Dick Powell and Myrna Loy. I started with The Great Zigfield and ended with their 3 Thin Man movies. (Yes, I did something else besides watch TCM) Plenty o' hats in all of them.

Actually, that would have been William Powell in the Thin Man movies with Myrna Loy. I always like watching those.

Dick Powell was a crooner in the musicals of the 1930s and came out of that type cast role to star in one of film noir's greatest Private Detectives. 1944, "Murder My Sweet". He played the role of Private Detective, Philip Marlowe, a role that Humphrey Bogart also played two years later in, "The Big Sleep" 1946, followed by Robert Montgomery in "The Lady In The Lake" 1947....as well as a few others who played that role afterwards.

You are absolutely correct. My bad, but I've said worse.

Nothing bad about it at all, BD. The Thin Man movies were some of my favorites. I watched them yesterday. Gotta love Powell's hats in those. Be a great inspiration for a custom hat.

Good thought. I'll try to keep "William Powell, Thin Man" in mind as I run though all of the bespokers I can find. Hmmm...where's Myrna Loy?

....added...
Mebbe I should add Cary Grant's Topper lid, as long as I can get a 2017 version of Constance Bennett, too, eh?
