Furs on Film – Someone Is Bleeding (1974)
Not another horror movie but a “psychological thriller” which, according to Wikipedia, is also known as Icy Breasts. Sounds like a good themed stripper name, but I digress. IMDb chooses the slightly less amusing title, Someone Is Bleeding, so I’m going with that. It also matches the file name, so… Someone Is Bleeding – The…

I can’t tell you the number of times I hear, “I want to watch a horror movie with fur, but I only have twenty minutes to spare!” I can’t tell you because I’ve never heard anyone say that, but that’s beside the point. Do I have a twenty-minute time investment slash slice of Italian cheese…

Furs on Film – Cocktail (1988)
So, if I had a “checklist” of “somewhat well-known ‘fur’ movies” that may or may not be considered “obligatory” to cover, this would be on that list. Cocktail is… fine. I’m just not a fan of sable. So, let’s see what happens to the YouTube metrics when I post something without a fox fur coat…

Furs on Film – Harlow (1965)

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 – The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980)
I’m not sure why July became “tragic blonde month,” but I figured we might as well pile on Jayne Mansfield while we’re at it. Also, I haven’t visited the greatest decade in a while, so the CBS television movie The Jayne Mansfield Story brings us back to 1980 just in time. Since it earned a…

Hey, I got the right controversial Monroe “biopic” this time. I made light of the fact that Norma Jean and Marylin was so long, and this is even longer. All the better to draw out the agony, I suppose. So let’s dissect one of the least controversial aspects of Blonde: the real fur fashion. Blonde…

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…

Ah, Italian cinema, the home of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Today we look at L’arcangelo, aka The Archangel, which features a glamorous blonde in the lead role. Where might this stunning beauty hail from? What bustling, historic Italian town produced this breathtaking blonde? *Checks notes* Oklahoma City? The hell? L’arcangelo…

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…

While the “swinging” Sixties aren’t my favorite fur fashion decade, it turns in some good stuff occasionally. And, hey, you’re more likely to find fur in a ’60s film than anything made after 1990. Granted, you may be wondering what a movie about Seven Golden Men has to do with fur fashion, but fortunately, those…
