Furs on Film – Maybe I Do (2023)

Let’s see, checking notes, reading summary. Pausing. Reading again. Cross-referencing. Realization is slowly dawning. Maybe I Do is not a period piece! It is not a period piece and features white fox fur! I guess the math eventually caught up, and a new release slipped through a very tiny crack. And landed with a dull… Read More Furs on Film – Maybe I Do (2023)

Furs on Film – The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

We continue our long-running series on “films where Edwige Fenech is pursued by a killer while wearing fur.” If I had a nickel for every time this has happened… I’d have 2 nickles, but it’s kinda strange it’s happened twice. So, be sure to suggest The Case of the Bloody Iris as your next film… Read More Furs on Film – The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

Furs on Film – Danger: Diabolik (1968)

There were very few instances of my ’90s viewing habits and my interest in fur fashion crossing over, but the Danger: Diabolik episode of MST3K (1013, the SciFi series finale) certainly hit like a truck. So, let’s take a quick look at why I missed about 2 minutes of the final riffs of the season.… Read More Furs on Film – Danger: Diabolik (1968)

Furs on Film – Madame Claude (1977)

Today we answer the question: why did the 2021 version of Madame Claude so prominently feature coyote fur coats? Was it because the film’s costume department meticulously analyzed the fur-wearing habits of high-class ’70s escorts and cross-referenced the socioeconomic status of the average Parisian citizen during the decade in question? No. It’s because the 1977… Read More Furs on Film – Madame Claude (1977)

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… Read More Furs on Film – Casino (1995)

Furs on Film – Star! (1968)

Julie Andrews in a musical? Box office gold, Jerry! Except when it’s not. Yes, we continue the fine tradition of flops with great fur fashion. The 1968 musical Star! landed three years after The Sound of Music with high studio expectations. Things did not go quite as well as hoped; as you may have noticed,… Read More Furs on Film – Star! (1968)

Furs on Film – Every Day’s a Holiday (1937)

I have neglected the classics over the past year but will fold some good Old Hollywood films back into the program. What better way to start than with a new entry in the 20% club? Okay, thanks to a lot of ermine, it gets across the finish line, but it’s legit. It is our latest… Read More Furs on Film – Every Day’s a Holiday (1937)

Furs on Film – Chicago (2002)

It’s a Saturday and a movie from 2002, so it’s probably a period piece. This one is a musical, which is generally regarded as a lot better than the last musical I covered. Chicago is set in the 1920s, and I suspect there’s a little “embellishment” in the costume department, but that works out well… Read More Furs on Film – Chicago (2002)
