It is finally time to do Mannequin! A joke that would go over better if I had not started putting the year in the title of the posts. Yes, there is another film with the name of a certain Kim Catrall vehicle released precisely five decades later. While there are about 20 seconds of the… Read More Furs on Film – Mannequin (1937)
I know; I start adding the year to the title of the posts and quickly choose a film that makes it look stupid. That’s on-brand, at least. I mentioned this film before, but that was over ten years ago, so you are forgiven for not remembering. It’s another one on my old “must-post” list: The… Read More Furs on Film – The Ice Follies of 1939 (1939)
I posted a smaller version of a different shot from the same promo set in the past, but this one is worthy of its own post. Not only do we get to see the full extent of that fabulous fur, but it also suggests it’s possible to see it in the 1932 film Letty Lynton. Or not. It… Read More Joan Crawford in Fur You Can’t Watch
I’ve mentioned Ice Follies of 1939 before, and here’s the poster. Fortunately, there’s only a little artistic license, as the outfit in the poster is actually in the film. If anything, the artist may have been a little generous to those white fox cuffs, rendering them a bit larger and fuller than the actual on-screen… Read More Ice Follies of 1938 Poster with Joan Crawford
Comments on the last post got me thinking a little harder about my favorites, so I decided to try and get them down, all official-like. So here is my entirely subjective personal opinion on the top 12 fur-wearing actresses of the last 80 or so years (mainly minus the last 20 since they… sucked). If… Read More FurGlamor’s Top 12 Actresses
Joan Crawford, with mighty lashes. Originally uploaded by carbonated Another week, another losing battle against all of cable television in providing me something to post. The poster called out the lashes in this pic. While I agree those are some pretty amazing lashes, going to have to say the collar is why I find this… Read More Joan Crawford in Fur
I am trying something new this weekend. There are some fabulous furs in many films, particularly from the 1930s, but squeezing an entire update out of just one really nice fur in a single movie can be tricky unless you’re The Awful Truth. Since many films don’t quite warrant the complete treatment yet shouldn’t be… Read More Furs on Film – Three From the Thirties
Another film in the costumed-like-it’s-1939 category, we have 1942’s They All Kissed the Bride, with a 37-year-old Joan Crawford. If your mental image of Miss Crawford snaps to the ’50s and beyond, that’s unfortunate, as vintage 30’s and early 40’s, Crawford is a genuinely spectacular beauty. Sadly most b-roll of Crawford always defaults to this… Read More Furs in Film – They All Kissed The Bride (1942)
