Furs on Film – Norma Jean & Marilyn (1996)
2 minutes·

Time to cover that controversial Marilyn Monore biopic. What? What? Norma Jean & Marilyn – The Film This version is a “made-for-television” movie from 1996. The “television” in question was HBO, so today, it would be a twelve-part prestige series, not a movie. She’d spend seven hours in her small town to really hammer home…

Furs on Film – The Phantom (1996)

In “twin film” lore, The Phantom and The Shadow aren’t entirely as well known as your Deep Impacts, Armageddons, Dantes Peaks, and Volcanos. That’s because, in this case, they were both flops. Amongst the many similarities they shared, the one we’re interested in here today is their setting in the 1930s and the costume designer’s…

Furs on Film – 101 Dalmatians (1996)

So, we’re doing this, the first faux update on the site. But, some may protest, some of it surely was real. If, for some reason, that is important to you, feel free to cite sources. I found the standard sanctimonious denials anyone would give for a not-a-period-piece film heavily featuring fur fashion released in 1996.…

Furs on Film – Casino (1995)

Decided to cover an underground gem from the mid-90s that most people will be surprised to learn has a lot of fur fashion. Also decided to see how many readers could pick up on sarcasm. Yes, it’s Casino, the film that associated Sharon Stone with “chinchilla” in certain circles. It’s also the ‘90s, so it…

It’s VHS time! While I love the 80s, there is quite a bit of media from that time that is only available in postage stamp resolution by modern standards. So forgive the lower quality; AI upscaling can only do so much at this point. I hereby swear, should The Gumshoe Kid be released with a…

How many of you remember the “before times?” You know, back before Marvel movies, when superhero movies kinda sucked? We return to this period with The Shadow, a superhero movie that kinda sucked. While the plot, pacing, acting, and overall cinematic quality may be subpar, we are here to honor the costume designer’s 100% faithfulness…

Furs on Film – The First Wives Club (1996)

At this rate, I’ll be done with the ‘90s pretty soon. The First Wives Club probably lands in that gray area where the costume designers (correctly) figured the “elite” were still wearing furs even though the post-80s backlash was in full swing. So, we get some real fur by way of authenticity, which is still…

Furs on Film – Mr. Magoo (1997)
Let’s do another one-scene wonder: Mr. Magoo. Because it’s great, and because I only have to create one page for it. Here’s the edit off the jump. I’m tired of all the terrible “DALL-E Mini” BS, but AI does have its uses… Mr. Magoo – The Film You don’t need to know anything about the…

Furs on Film – Midnight Blue (1997)
Here it is; this is the 100th review on this site. A review I debated, but I’ve done The Bitch at this point, so we’ve firmly crossed the soft-core event horizon. Arguably, there is more sex in that mainstream, top-ten 1979-UK-box-office-revived-Joan-Collins’-career flick than in Midnight Blue. It is a perfect example of late-Silk Stockings era…

Personal challenge: post a film from the 1990s. Check. So how does one get Ellen Barkin in a couple of big fox stoles in the middle of the worst fur fashion drought since, well, between the Ice Age and the early 1900s? Apparently, it requires an alternate universe and no concept of pacing. Woof, it’s…
