Furs on Film – The Grandmaster (2013)
3 minutes·

Rare update this week. Not rare like the one after that short ten-year break, but rare for other reasons. I’m sure some students of fashion history can fill in why furs never really “caught on” in this area of the world, but it certainly seems to be the case. I’m sure the suggestion box will…

“I don’t have time for this because I want to be playing Starfield” Month begins with low-effort post #1: Never Say Never Again. The film and a particular secondary antagonist are pretty well known in several remote little internet huts you don’t want to barge into without knocking. Never Say Never Again – The Film…

Furs on Film – I’m Shy, But I’ll Heal (1978)
3 minutes·

“There was never a theme” month concludes with a bit of vintage ‘70s comedy from France. I’m Shy, But I’ll Heal (original French title: Je suis timide mais je me soigne). The film is a standard throwback to the days when “lovable loser gets the girl” is a common theme, instead of “sex pest stalks…

Furs on Film – The Crime Is Mine (2023)

“Low-quality source month” has become “I knew I put up the suggestion box for a reason” month as some kind soul stuffed the ballot box with something useful. So, let’s look at Mon crime, or, for those not speaking French (like me), The Crime Is Mine. The Crime Is Mine – The Film Madeleine Verdier…

Furs on Film – Harlow (1965)
4 minutes·

·
So July is “tragic blonde month,” and we end with one more: Jean Harlow. Harlow biopics have the advantage of being set in the 1930s, the second-best fur decade after the 1980s (and most of the 1970s, but they’re all just one great streak). In 1965, Hollywood did the thing and released two different Harlow…

Furs on Film – Norma Jean & Marilyn (1996)

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 – Cougar Hunting (2011)

Okay, let’s induct another cinematic classic today. So classic that I was not aware it existed at all before… well, now I can’t even remember where I saw it mentioned. Ultimately that does not matter, as it will remain one of the many great mysteries of the film Cougar Hunting, including how the hell they…
