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’ve been spoiling you. Seven color updates in a row? Okay, four color updates, ten years, and three color updates. Still, I double-checked the math; it adds up. So you get to eat your veggies today with a film I was hoping to do back when I was updating this blog with some degree of… Read More Furs on Film – Dracula’s Daughter (1936)
Hey, there was fur in Hawkeye. One may even be real, but I’m willing to be convinced there’s a great way to fake lynx. Before you go getting too excited, we’re talking about one whole minute of run time. The maybe real lynx is the better of the two, and it shows up for… checks… Read More Furs on TV – Hawkeye (2021)
Posting has been a little thin in these, the dog days of summer. Not that that’s an actual excuse, mind you, it just sounds nice. In any case, I think this one may be a little popular. My stats are clear on one thing, readers like color, and readers love the ’80s. Hey, I love… Read More Furs on TV – Moonlighting Seasons 1 and 2
Back this week with an actual update, one I’ve been sitting on for a while now. Another entry from the early ’30s, this one pulls out the big gun right up front but doesn’t wholly fizzle later. It also boasts two prominent female roles. That’s a sad rarity for films from this period. Put your… Read More Furs on Film – This is the Night (1932)
I am a big fan of Sophia Loren, but the trajectory of her international stardom rests firmly in the late ’50s and ’60s. Those were the year’s fur fashion was merely phoning it in, a dreary wasteland of minks that were better suited to funerals than glamorous ladies on the big screen. Loren compounded this… Read More Furs on Film – The Millionairess (1960)
Finally, we are back with a full-on, legit, single film update post. It has been a while, TCM; thanks for finally ponying up a good one. This one fits into a few of my favorite categories. Foremost, it’s another entry from 1940 where the costume director didn’t get the memo about that regrettable sea change… Read More Furs on Film – Dance, Girl, Dance (1940)
Time to revisit the gentleman detective genre with what is arguably the most iconic of them all: The Thin Man. The adventures of Nick and Nora Charles spanned six films between 1934 and 1947, and as you can imagine, the ones from the 1930s will be featured a bit more prominently in this update. The… Read More Furs on Film – The Thin Man Films
It’s divorce, 1930’s style again. What more do I need to say?… Read More Furs on Film – Remember (1939)
If you were paying attention to the last update, this one shouldn’t be a surprise. Or maybe it should be since I actually “found the time” to do it. We return to the warm, thick fox blanket that is the 1930s with Times Square Lady, a 1935 film starring Virginia Bruce. Times Square Lady –… Read More Furs on Film – Times Square Lady (1935)
