Movie hats

Pretty impressive to make a pith helmet sexy!

Grace could make a potato sack look sexy

Watched part of “Mogambo” (1953) last night and Clark Gable’s hat caught my eye. Here are some pics of it, with Grace Kelly in a pith helmet thrown in to round it out!

Actually, Mogambo is a remake of Gable's 1932 movie, "Red Dust", with co stars Jean Harlow and Mary Astor. Mary Astor played Grace Kelly's part in the original and Jean Harlow played Ava Gardner's part. It was Clark Gable in the 1932 version who wore the Pith Helmet...

So is he pulling her out of the tub there?

Oh, and for some reason, I immediately thought of,

I prefer Jean Harlow, but, whatever, no judgement here.

watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit with my kids. My lord are the hats in this film fantastic.

I watched that last weekend with my daughter. I had forgotten how good that movie was.

Kirk Douglas in "The Big Trees" (1952). Lots of great hats (they look up at trees a lot), but I couldn't find many pics.

Boy I loved that movie "The Big Trees" @BobHufford Bob . Kirt was in a movie about the 1948 Arab Israeli War called "Cast A Giant Shadow" that was awesome , but his list is LONG .

Turn of the century logging in the West, one of my favorite subjects. The Redwoods in Northern California, cool.

Ethan Hawke from The Magnificent Seven (2016) ...

 

[Bushman]

That's Ethan Hawke these days? Wow, either he's gotten old, or I have.

Appaloosa Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris

Appaloosa Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris

That is one of my favorite westerns. I read the book before the movie came out and both actors nailed it. Every sequel that I have read I see and hear both of them in my mind as I read.

He's 46 years old; probably 44-45 when they were filming The Magnificent Seven.

Appaloosa Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris

I went to see a movie at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood (California) years ago, and they had those costumes on display. I was immediately struck by two things--first, that Ed Harris was shorter than I thought; second, that both he and Viggo Mortensen are really thin.

It is sad & a shame that Robert B. Parker died before he wrote more in the western genre. I've read the 3 in this series plus the other western. I've also read two of his detective series.

I have Appaloosa of DVD as well.

' The Legend of Ben Hall' (2016)

Did they have the 8 gauge?

 

[Michael R.]

Looks like the Ben Hall Boys are a little low on fire power . Couple of more might be needed .

 

[Lone_Ranger]

Open Range surprised the heck out of me when I ran across it one afternoon on a local channel. I could have sworn it was a Larry McMurtry story (probably because any Western with Robert Duvall in it makes you think of "Gus"). On top of that, Annette Bening as Sue --!

Sue Barlow (Bening): So is it marriage that scares you two, or putting down roots?

Boss Spearman (Duvall): No. Who'd have him? All rangy and mangy like a rough old dog.

Charley Waite (Costner): How about I hold your head under water for just a little while?

Why was I thinking it was Diane Lane?

 

[Lone_Ranger]

Jesse Ventura as Blain in "Predator". To get that "stacked" look it looks like the hat had to be taller than a normal slouch hat.

Aussie Slouch. Reminds me, of Christopher George, in Rat Patrol
