Movie hats

Not there, but I think he looks pretty good in the pic above from White Hunter, Black Heat.

You've made his day.

I think the only problem with Clint's look in the City Heat pic above is that his back hair is too long for the era (the movie is set in the Thirties, right?). For a working cowboy, perhaps that would be okay, but as a city cop, his hair would have been clipped a lot shorter than that. His hat looks great (in fact, both do), but the hair length is odd.

Lee Marvin in the Professionals demonstrates how to wear a campaign hat. I wish I could pull it off.

I agree he does wear it well, but don't count out the guys from the Wild Bunch

If they move, KILL 'EM!!!!!!

I'm watching the Ken Burns documentary, Prohibition, on Netflix right now. A constant parade of cool hats. Lots of boaters, homburgs and Lords hats, caps, fedoras, and women's hats, too, mostly cloche style.

Guys knew how to wear hats back in the day. I like the thin ribbons they're wearing in this 1947 film noir movie, "Out Of The Past". Check out the venting in the one hat.

I just heard that Bill Paxton died yesterday at age 61 of complications from surgery. They are not saying what the surgery was for. I just hope it was something that was necessary & not something cosmetic that cost him his life. RIP.

This first one and third one might even be the same hat.

What I saw said he had complications during heart surgery and suffered a fatal stroke.

Borgnine keps his campaign hat to the end, re-bashed with a fore and aft crease

Sorry to hear this.

Bill Paxton did a lot of decent films. I really liked him in A Simple Plan.

Thanks Fruno. I read that later as well. Also read where he had a major surgery last yr but don't know if that involved his heart or not. It's just too bad.

Bill Paxton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies was a great movie. Godspeed Mr. Paxton.

According to an article I read, yes it was heart surgery as well.

When I read of his passing earlier today I half expected it to be another of those "hoax" announcements because of his age. I always liked Mr. Paxton, and got the impression he was a down-to-earth regular guy who just happened to have a decent career as an actor; someone who never let the "celebrity" thing go to his head. Sad news.

Sorry to hear this. He did quite a few historical roles it looks like.

Always like Vera Cruz fan of Burt Lancaster, Gary Cooper, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam and to have them in one great film well I can't ask for anything more

That marquis's getting too many teeth in that crocodile smile of his. I don't like it!

A favorite of mine as well.

That topcoat-with-thin ribbon look (R.) is what convinced me to try my Stetson Royal De Luxe OR-lookalike with my single-breasted dress topcoat; and I found it works.

By the way, I thought the actor looked familiar, and it turns out I was right. It's Frank Wilcox, who in the Sixties played John Brewster, the oil company owner who originally brings Jed Clampett and his clan to Beverly Hills.
